40 Days for Life’s national director, David Bereit,
was able to visit all of the 40 Days for Life campaign
locations in Montana recently. And I was able to join
him in Helena.
Over the past four years, David and I have collectively
been to more than 300 of the 40 Days for Life locations
— but have only spoken together at kickoff events
together twice.
The first time was in 2004 during the first 40 Days for
Life campaign in Bryan/College Station, Texas. The
second time was last week in Helena, Montana.
We just posted video higlights online from the Helena
kickoff event. If you want to get a big shot in the arm
for this 40 Days for Life campaign, watch the inspiring

The 40 Days for Life campaign in Dayton got off to a
huge start, with about 250 people on hand for their
largest event ever.
The campaign even got some television coverage of their
kickoff, which included the release of 200 balloons —
one for each of the estimated 200 babies lost to
abortion each month at the facility where the Dayton
prayer vigil is taking place outside.
One of the group’s leaders told the reporter that
people of various faith backgrounds had come together
for 40 Days for Life, “praying to God for an end to
the scourge of abortion.”
Sometimes, people simply feel drawn to the 40 Days for
Life prayer vigil to share stories about themselves.
Three 40 Days for Life prayer volunteers were outside
the abortion center when a man walked up and asked what
they were doing. He had noticed the signs they had with
them: “Pray to end abortion” ... “Women regret abortion”
... and “Men regret lost fatherhood.”
One of the volunteers responded, “We’re here to raise
awareness about abortion and save the lives of the
unborn.” Another member of the prayer group shared a
personal testimony.
“He stayed with us for the next two hours sharing, that
he and his wife had chosen life for their two boys when
they were just 15 and 17 years old and found themselves
in an unplanned pregnancy,” said Lynda in Eugene. “I am
sure he will be joining us again.”
Later the same day, a young man approached one of the
volunteers to say that his own mother had entered a
facility like this, but had walked out and chosen life
for him. Shortly after that, a woman came up to share
an almost identical story about her mother.
“God is so good,” said Lynda.
