Thank you so much for posting this daily, Salvation. Your devotion is a blessing to many. :-)
Here’s today’s update from Shawn Carney:
I’m fresh from a visit with a wonderful group of
volunteers at the 40 Days for Life vigil in St. Paul,
Minnesota — and I’ve got great news today.
One of our main prayers during these 40 days is that
children scheduled for abortion will be spared through
prayer, fasting and God’s love being shown in the
public right-of-way outside the abortion centers.
On the very first day of the campaign, God has already
answered those prayers — and shown again that your
peaceful efforts are worth it.
I hope you’re encouraged by these early blessings
from a diverse group of locations — England, Texas
and Oregon.
There are THREE 40 Days for Life locations in the
greater London area, and God has ALREADY provided a
huge blessing at the vigil site on Whitfield Street,
where volunteers are praying outside a Marie Stopes
abortion center.
Stuart got a call from the Good Counsel Network with
the news. One of the counselors at the vigil site had
spoken to a young woman, who became convinced that
abortion was the wrong answer.
The woman, he said, “is a foreign national, so as well
as offering her help, we will put her in contact with
other mothers from her country we have helped before.”
Stuart is asking volunteers to pray each of these
40 days that an abortion center in England will close
its doors forever.
He also sent a photo of the 40 Days for Life vigil,

Close to 250 faithful gathered at a city park across
the street from the Dallas late-term abortion facility
where the 40 Days for Life vigil is taking place.
Kickoff rally participants signed up for vigil hours
while visiting with local pro-life ministries at
tables set up throughout the park.
The rally began with praise and worship, followed by
remarks from area pastors. Dave Sterrett, who serves
on the 40 Days for Life board of directors, gave the
keynote talk.
“A couple of special messages resounded throughout the
evening,” said Lauren Muzyka of the 40 Days for Life
national team. “Speakers highlighted the special role
that men play in defending the gift of life, as well
as the hope we have in God — that He is big enough to
conquer and end the evil of abortion in our land.”

Diane said it was a beautiful day for the kickoff of
Klamath Falls’ first 40 Days for Life campaign — but
a tad windy, perhaps, as campaign literature “wanted
to take flight.”
The group gathered on the steps of the Government
Center, with a number of churches, a pro-life
pregnancy center and Oregon Right to Life represented.
“We started with music and speakers at the Government
Center, then walked around the building and across
the street to the vigil site for a brief talk,” she
said. “We closed with a group prayer for the vigil
and sang Amazing Grace.”
