Your prayers have saved more than 25,000 babies from abortion. But we also know that the majority of the time you spend praying with your local 40 Days for Life campaign, you don't witness immediate results. Is it still worth standing vigil when you don't see God answering your prayers? As we head into the home stretch of the largest Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign ever, it's a good time for a dose of encouragement. Check out this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast for 5 important things to remember on the days when you don't save any babies: To watch or listen, click the image or visit: 40daysforlife.com/hope-not-lost Tune in, get fired up, and sprint toward the finish line! There are only ten days left, so don't wait. Find your local vigil and sign up to pray TODAY: 40daysforlife.com/locations Vác, Hungary Bishop Zsolt Marton of the Catholic Diocese of Vác admitted he was skeptical of 40 Days for Life when it came to town. But he nevertheless welcomed the campaign with open arms. His support has helped bear tremendous fruit, as the number of abortions at the local hospital has dropped by a third since the 40 Days for Life vigil began March 5. Even the hospital has been supportive of the vigil! So much so that on a rainy day, vigil participants were allowed to pray for an end to abortion from INSIDE the hospital--and were joined by one of the doctors! Charleston, South Carolina 40 Days for Life outreach director and former Planned Parenthood manager Ramona Trevino shared her conversion testimony with campaign volunteers in Charleston. The message inspired attendees to remember that a lack of visible results doesn't mean God isn't answering prayers. "You remind all of us that God mostly works a step at a time rather than a single dramatic event," wrote Susan, the local campaign leader. "You also remind us that God will keep working on our hearts if we give him permission." Burlington, Vermont The Green Mountain State's abortion statutes--signed into law by a Republican governor--are as lax as you'll find in America. John, who leads the 40 Days for Life vigil in Burlington, is not discouraged. "We are few, but we are mighty," he said of pro-lifers in one of the nation's most abortion-friendly states. John recently held a Defund Planned Parenthood rally at his vigil site, drawing dozens of participants and coverage from two local television network affiliates! Jesus told him, "Have sight; your faith has saved you."  —Luke 18:42  Dear Lord, give us the courage to pray for miraculous healings of body and soul. Extend your mercy to mothers and fathers who have experienced miscarriage. Grant them the peace of your son, and help them to rest in the assurance that they will one day be reunited with their precious children. Amen. For life, Shawn Carney President & CEO, 40 Days for Life

Nobody ever regrets choosing life.

Sometimes it takes a while before God shows us the fruits of our prayers. But it was worth the wait for Tammy in Orange, California, who recently received a message from a woman she had encountered while praying at her local 40 Days for Life vigil years ago. "I will always have a special place in my heart for you," the note said. "I thank God constantly for meeting you and having that interaction [which] helped tremendously [in] keeping my baby." The woman shared how much Tammy's support and listening ear meant to her back when she was considering abortion--and how much it still means to her and to her little boy today. "It's been the best decision ever," she said. "He is loved, and I'm sooo grateful for him. ... Thank you, Tammy!" Ealing, England The Ealing 40 Days for Life vigil is held 500 meters away from the local abortion facility thanks to a buffer zone law that bans pro-life speech near abortion centers. "By the grace of God, we are still able to reach women coming for abortions from here as well as speak to other members of the public," wrote the local campaign team. Two of those members of the public were a man and woman who approached prayer warriors to share how nearly a decade ago they had come for an abortion. But before they went through with it, they spoke to a 40 Days for Life participant who showed them information on fetal development, which helped them decide not to abort. The couple proudly showed the vigil volunteers a photo of the boy saved by their prayers--and of that boy's little brother! Yuba City, California A woman in Yuba City received a pin depicting an unborn baby's feet from the local 40 Days for Life campaign. She also got an invitation to join the vigil. "40 Days for Life saved my grandson!" the woman exclaimed in response. Her daughter had attended a Christian concert back in the fall of 2017 at which a 40 Days for Life announcement was made. Because of that announcement, the expectant mom decided that night not to go through with the abortion. Montclair, New Jersey A motorist pulled up to the Montclair vigil and gestured for participants to approach. "I want to thank you for being here," she told them. "Over nine years ago, I came here, and because of ladies like you, I have my son. He turns [nine] today." The proud mama showed off a photo of her son, thanked pro-lifers again, and drove away. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. … See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” --Matthew 18:5, 10 Lord, keep every child free from harm. Especially in moments of despair, help them to sense the presence of your angels watching over them. Provide a loving home for every child in need, and strengthen and sustain adoptive and foster parents to imitate your fatherly care. Amen. For life, Shawn Carney President & CEO, 40 Days for Life
