Subotica, Serbia

“In the early morning hours, we started our third 40 Days for Life campaign in Subotica, Serbia,” said one of the enthusiastic volunteers.

Those who assembled for the beginning of the vigil received a blessing and were encouraged to have a fruitful and happy campaign.

Along with the blessing, the local pastor invited the volunteers to deeper prayer and sacrifice on behalf of the unborn.

“If anyone wants to be a part of this initiative,” said one of the team members, “all they have to do is come and pray with us!”

Flint, Michigan

“Despite record-breaking 93 degree heat for our kickoff, the entire event was such a blessing,” said Tina in Flint. “God provided shade with the trees … and a steady wind kept us cool.”

A young woman named Kristen shared her story with those in attendance, telling how she had made an appointment for an abortion at Planned Parenthood seven years ago.

A Planned Parenthood worker told her there would be people “protesting” outside – but to ignore them. “Just knowing that people would be there made her change her mind and choose life for her daughter,” Tina said. Kristen’s daughter is now 6 years old.

“Being physically present here makes a big difference,” Kristen said.

“I just really want to impress upon you all that being here can … help people understand this is not just a split decision,” she said. “We are a community and that’s why we are here!”
