40 Days For Life

Hi Everyone! I hope you had an awesome Fat Tuesday yesterday with many many treats! haha!
Now today is not only Ash Wednesday, the first day of lent, but it is also the kick off of the first 40 Days for Life campaign of 2015. 40 Days for Life is the largest internationally coordinated pro-life mobilization in history, helping people in local communities end the injustice of abortion through prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and community outreach. 40 Days first started in 2007 and has since grown quite considerably... there are 650,000 volunteers; 559 cities; 27 nations; 3,336 local campaigns that take part in 40 Days for Life worldwide.
We have been participating in 40Days for a long time, I don't know if we started all the way back in 2007 but probably pretty close to it.  We try our best to pray outside of one of the abortion clinics in our area as often as possible within the 40 days. It is going to be extra hard this year because the weather is unbearable but we just have to bundle up tight, offer our numb fingers and toes up to God, and remember what we are doing it for. It's a wonderful feeling to know that you are helping to save the lives of people that can't fight for themselves; babies who many people don't think even exist. 3,699 unborn children have been saved in some way by this Campaign, and those are only the ones that are proven. I believe that there are probably many other women who have been on their way to get an abortion and drove past the clinic or gave their decision a second thought because someone was outside praying and nobody would've known. And not only are babies being rescued but clinic workers and doctors are starting to see the horrible wrongs that they have been taking part in. I think 40 Days for Life is an amazing campaign and it is really easy to find campaigns close to you and there are many different ways to help, I hope you go check it out:)
