DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

40 Days For Life: DAY 1: Here we go!

40 Days for Life starts TODAY in 507 cities around the globe.

The abortion industry's internal data reveal that when you visit 40daysforlife.com/location, find the vigil nearest you, sign up, and go out to pray...

...the no-show rate for abortion appointments can go as high as 75%!

40 Days for Life participants in Maryland are fired up and ready to pray for an end to abortion.

More than 1,000 pro-lifers joined the Maryland March for Life Monday night.

Local vigil leaders from across the state signed up new volunteers to pray at their vigils while 40 Days for Life Board Chairman and General Counsel Matt Britton spoke to the massive crowd.

Proposed legislation targeting unborn children in Maryland helped bolster turnout--and provided one more indicator that this year will mark a turning point in the struggle to end abortion.

Make sure 2020 doesn't become ANOTHER Year of Infanticide!

Sign up TODAY to pray at the 40 Days for Life vigil closest to you:

Windsor, Ontario

Nearly a year after its theatrical release, Windsor campaign leader Laurie is still using the Unplanned film to recruit new volunteers!

She's hosted two screenings--and still has two more to go. Attendance has been high so far with more than 150 people coming out to see the movie. Most attendees were new to the campaign.

Laurie said the film's success in the Windsor area over the last year has opened new doors at new churches. At one of those churches, a "Signup Sunday" outreach led to more than 100 people signing up to pray.

"I am overwhelmed! This is just a complete miracle!" she said.

Novi Sad, Serbia

Nikoleta in Novi Sad, Serbia reported that her city's first campaign is off to a great start.

She and her team launched the vigil with an event featuring pro-life giveaways, catering, fellowship, speeches, and a question-and-answer session.

"We were so happy!" Nikoleta said.

Blow the trumpet in Zion! Proclaim a fast, call an assembly. Gather the people, notify the congregation. Assemble the elders; gather the children and the infants at the breast … Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, "Spare, O Lord, your people."

—Joel 2:15-17

Lord, we ask for the strength, courage, wisdom, determination and stamina to carry out this mission according to Your will. Guide us, we pray, as we go forth and proclaim Your truth.
