SUMMARY:40 Days For Life is Well Underway
DESCRIPTION:Just one hour of prayer could make a life-changing\, life-saving difference in not one but two lives. \nAs men and women gather to pray outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic or other abortion mill\, the truth of James 5:16 is manifested: the earnest prayers of the righteous followers of God are powerful and effective. And\, while prayer is of the utmost importance\, the value of the physical presence of prayer warriors cannot be overstated. \nOver and over again\, we’ve heard women recount how their hearts were softened and their minds were changed as they witnessed 40 Days for Life participants praying for them and for their unborn babies. Many women have admitted that\, though they had decided to have their babies aborted\, they had also decided that if one person acknowledged them\, smiled at them\, or spoke kindly to them\, they wouldn’t go through with it. \nWill you allow God to use you? \nYour peaceful\, prayerful presence communicates the message that every life is fearfully and wonderfully made and bears the image of his or her Creator\, the Holy God of the Universe. Women facing a crisis pregnancy need to know that the lives they are carrying are precious to our gracious and merciful Lord — and to us. God loves and cares for each mother and her baby. These mothers also need to see that the people of God love and care for them in the midst of their pregnancies and beyond. \nThis year’s 40 Days for Life campaign began on September 24th and runs through Sunday\, November 2nd. In order to cover the approximately 960-hour duration of the campaign\, many prayer warriors are still needed. Families\, Bible study small groups\, Sunday school classes\, choir members\, college students\, co-workers\, and others have traditionally come together for an hour of prayer every week at a nearby Planned Parenthood center. What a blessing it would be if you and your praying family and friends would join with thousands of pro-life supporters as we earnestly pray that unborn life would be valued and preserved\, and abortion would be abolished! \nTake ACTION: Please visit 40daysforlife.com for more information and to sign up for a location and prayer time. Just one hour spent being a silent witness in loving\, prayerful support of two lives can be life-changing. This relatively small commitment could be the most important hour you’ll spend in prayer this year.
