About 40 Days for Life
Worldwide, the 40 Days for Life campaign is saving lives and ending abortion. Through prayer, fasting and peaceful vigil in locations across the world, we seek to change hearts and encourage a culture of life.
​
Abortion happens in our community and in communities across the world; 40 Days for Life recognizes that we need to respond as a community through prayer and outreach.
​
Though all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil.
