The idea for 40 Days for Life was born from friends sitting around a table praying about what they could do to stop abortion. The number 40 is very significant for Christians; Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years, Christ went into the desert for 40 days and now in our own country we are entering the 40th year that abortion has been legal. What started in Texas with a group of people praying in front of one abortion clinic has grown into a nationwide event in more than 251 cities in America and Internationally.
The local activities of this peaceful prayer campaign start on Ash Wednesday and run through Palm Sunday.
Will this be the year that you join in this life-saving, life-affirming prayer campaign?

There are amazing examples of the power of the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign:
- Reports document 4,313 lives that have been spared from abortion — and those are just the ones we know about
- 53 abortion workers have quit their jobs and walked away from the abortion industry
- 14 abortion facilities completely shut down following local 40 Days for Life campaigns
- Many people with past abortion experiences have stepped forward to begin post-abortion healing and recovery
The 40 Days for Life site includes beautiful devotional prayers that can be said each day during the campaign. Check out the 40 Days web site for the details on all of the upcoming prayer events.
