Heavenly Father,
We come together with other believers in this nation, exalting the Name of Jesus, our High Priest in heaven. We pray for each lost soul who has been deceived by the ways of this world, asking that You place people in their paths who will share the Word of Truth with them. Fill them with Your unconditional love for their child. Help us to continue in prayer and in active involvement until every precious baby is received with joy and is cherished as Your blessed creation. In the mighty and awesome Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Just two days into the largest 40 Days for Life campaign
ever and we’ve seen record crowds at kickoff events
across the United States — and beyond!
A posting in the 40 Days for Life blog by Nancy really
says it all: “Prayers are the best weapon we have to
fight the evil of abortion.”
Amen!!!
I just got back from a GREAT 40 Days for Life kickoff
rally in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
They held their event in front of the Planned Parenthood
facility, which is getting ready to expand its abortion
capabilities. Please keep the Virginia Beach volunteers
in your prayers!
While I was there, the local ABC affiliate came out to
interview Marcia, the local coordinator.
To see a couple of pictures from Virginia Beach — a
photo of me and some of the local team members and a

David Bereit, the national director of 40 Days for Life,
helped get the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in
Silver Spring, Maryland off to a great start. It was an
exciting night for this Washington, DC suburb.
For a look at the Silver Spring kickoff — there’s a
photo of David speaking to the group and another one
of volunteers signing up for the vigil — please go to:

The 40 Days for Life team in Lafayette, Indiana also
had a great turnout for their opening.
This campaign also marks the first 40 Days for Life
effort in Lafayette. As is the case in Virginia Beach
and Silver Spring, their vigil is also being held
outside a Planned Parenthood facility.
Members of the clergy from various local churches took
part in the kickoff event, which featured a prayer
gathering followed by a procession to the vigil site.
To see photos of Lafayette’s prayer volunteers
marching to Planned Parenthood, and then praying
peacefully outside that location, please go to:

As this 40 Days for Life campaign is just getting
started, there’s still plenty of time for you to join

Another blog comment reminds me that the Lord will
respond to your willingness to stand up for the
innocent.
