A national pro-life movement called “40 Days for Life” begins tomorrow on September 28. If you have never had the chance to participate in the nation’s largest pro-life mobilization, this may be the opportunity for you!
From their website:
40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion. It draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:
- Prayer and fasting
- Constant vigil
- Community outreach
The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities … and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.
You can visit their website to see how 40 Days for Life will be working in a community near you. If there is no organized campaign near you, there are many ways you can still be involved! Commit yourself and an accountability partner to praying and fasting in particular ways during these 40 days. 40DFL has suggestions, but feel free to discern and design your own commitments. Consider traveling to the location of the rally in your state and take part. Organize a local night of prayer in your community by word of mouth.
There are so many ways you can be involved; leave a comment below to share how you plan on celebrating and defending life for these next 40 days!
