40 Days for Life

This spring, from March 9 to April 17, our community is uniting with hundreds of other cities around the world for the targest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history: the 40 Days for Life campaign. Recognizing that "with God all things are possible," people of faith are praying that this effort will help bring an end to the tragedy of abortion.

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign that has atready mobilized over 400,000 people worldwide, saved more than 3,500 lives from abortion, led to the conversion of 43 abortion workers, and seen nine abortion facilities close. 40 Days for Life is made up of three components:

• Prayer and Fasting: believers throughout our city are invited to join together for 40 days of fervent prayer and fasting for an end to abortion

• Peaceful Vigil: sign up as a group or as an individual to stand for life during a 40-day peaceful public witness outside Planned Parenthood, 1000 E. Washington St., Springfield, Illinois or outside the Hope Clinic for Women, 1602 21st St., Granite City, Illinois

• Community Outreach: adopt one of our partner agencies to help pregnant and parenting women in our local community
