From 40 Days For Life: DAY 5: Fasting vs. Bacon

 

I love food--pretty much every kind. The premise of a 40 Days for Life campaign is simple: 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion. But as easy as that sounds, prayer and fasting can be easier said than done. After all, how do you pray for an entire hour? And what's the point of fasting anyway? To answer those questions, we've released two episodes of the 40 Days for Life Podcast that will help draw you into prayer and deepen your spiritual life on the sidewalk this campaign: Episode 139: How to Hear the Voice of God with Fr. Drew Olson Episode 140: Practical Tips for Fasting

Listen...and then share these podcast episodes on social media... ...and speaking of social media, the 40 Days for Life campaign is a GREAT time to get breaking news about saved babies, converted workers, and closed abortion facilities around the world by following 40 Days for Life on social media: 40 Days for Life on Facebook 40 Days for Life on Twitter 40 Days for Life on YouTube 40 Days for Life on Pinterest 40 Days for Life on Instagram

Ann Arbor, Michigan Sandie in Ann Arbor reported a beautiful fall day as more than 75 participants joined an Interfaith Jericho March (modeled after the march around Jericho described in Scripture) outside of Planned Parenthood. A Catholic priest and a Lutheran pastor led the group in prayer. "Our speakers were INSPIRATIONAL as were our spiritual leaders," Sandie said. "Join us in praying for the most innocent among us, their moms and dads, and abortion workers." The Ann Arbor campaign team has consistently achieved FULL vigil coverage, which has helped dramatically decrease the number of abortions performed in Washtenaw County since the city's first 40 Days for Life campaign in 2007.

Columbia, Missouri The campaign in Columbia also held a Jericho March. Abortion supporters from the "Guild of Silly Heathens" (yes--that's the name they chose) attempted to disrupt the event with a "parade of filth." It didn't go well.

The 15 prayer volunteers were just a fraction of those on hand--the rest were marching. Eventually, a dozen or so "Silly Heathens" arrived, but they cut short the stunt when neighbors "expressed their disapproval of the entire spectacle."

The King will answer and say to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.” —Matthew 25:31-46 Gracious and merciful Father, we renew our dedication to defending the unborn and all whose right to life is compromised by our godless society’s selfish lack of concern. Free us from our own failures and sins so that we will be truly pro-life in every area of our lives. See today's full devotional

From 40 Days For Life: DAY 4: Late-term abortion facility QUITS!

 

A late-term abortion facility has quit providing abortions, citing... ...the presence outside! As she prepared for this fall's 40 Days for Life campaign, Renée in Champaign, Illinois noticed that the local late-term abortion center no longer listed "abortion services" on its website. She also noticed the center's logo had changed. Renée called the location and was informed that the facility no longer provides abortions!

"I was really emotional when I found this out," she said. "We certainly hoped that this would happen, but didn't think it would happen so soon." What did happen? Renée had the opportunity to speak with a staff member for the former abortion facility who told her that the decision to stop performing abortions was made due to "picketers"--specifically the 40 Days for Life presence there from 2017-18. Renée summed up the victory perfectly: "Peaceful, public prayer and presence does work." The Champaign campaign team has moved its vigil to Planned Parenthood--the city's last remaining abortion facility.

Bournemouth, England As prayer warriors in Bournemouth launched their 40 Days for Life vigil, they were greeted by an abortion facility bin for disposing of "unwanted leaflets." Presumably, those leaflets are materials handed out by 40 Days for Life pavement counselors, letting them know about abortion alternatives. For a business that so frequently touts freedom of "choice," abortion providers aren't happy when vigil participants offer their customers a choice that isn't abortion. Whether it's unwanted leaflets or "unwanted" children, the abortion industry's response is the same: throw them away!

Dallas, Texas I spoke in Dallas, where last campaign they saved 13 babies--including a set of twins! Thank you to Dr. Tony Evans, who hosted the 40 Days for Life kickoff once again at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church. Susan, the Dallas leader, said they have more vigil hours filled than ever before. They host their vigil at the largest Planned Parenthood in North Texas.

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” — Luke 1:30-33 Heavenly Father, you have made the womb of each woman a very special place. Help us to hold fast to the sanctity of this first home of humanity, remembering the wonderful mystery, that God inhabited the womb of a young woman and came forth as the savior and deliverer of the world.

Can't get out to the vigil during the week? Why not go this weekend! There are 415 sites around the world.
