Usually, the “spring” campaign is really more like winter in many of the places where 40 Days for Life is taking place.
But this time … we’re hearing about great weather in a number of locations.
West Covina, California
The simple comment from the team in West Covina was “Thanking God for a beautiful day to start the spring 40 Days for Life campaign!”
But nonetheless – kudos to all of you who are putting up with cold and snow!
Anchorage, Alaska
Pat, the leader in Anchorage had a three-word summary of their kickoff event: “I was cold!”
Pat says a hearty bunch arrived for hymn, prayer and good fellowship.
“We were greeted by a protester of a different kind,” he said, “30-mile-per hour winds that blew our signs away, broke stakes that held signs in the snow, and chilled to the bones!”
Edmonton, Alberta
Cold and sunny was the weather report in Edmonton, Alberta. It was -7°C – that’s 19°F – and it was very windy.
“We were quite chilled after an hour,” said one of the local leaders, “but our kickoff had some effect: one of my ‘favorite’ abortion staffers poked her head out the front door to look around. Yes, we’ve begun — 40 days of prayer, fasting and witnessing for Life!”
