In a little more than two weeks, the 40 Days for Life Campaign will begin. So far there are three Canadian cities where the 40 Days for Life vigils will be held: Ottawa, Toronto and Halifax. The Campaign, as the name suggests, runs 40 days from September 24th to November 2nd, and seeks to end abortion through directed prayer, fasting, vigil, and community outreach. 40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign that over the past three years has generated measurable lifesaving results in every community where it has been experienced. So far, 40 Days for Life campaigns have been conducted in more than 130 communities in the US. More than 500 children have been confirmed as saved from abortion. Some cities have reported as much as a 28% drop in local abortion numbers, numerous post-abortive women (and men) finding healing and forgiveness, and from several hundred to over 1,000 new people getting involved with local lifesaving ministry efforts.
Don't forget to come and make sure you tell everyone you know. The Halifax vigil is within my reach, so I'll do my best to be there at least a couple of times even if the bus schedule allows no more than a 4-hour stay.And another thing: the 40 Days For Life vigil now falls in the middle of an election campaign. So if you happen to attend all-candidate debates in your riding - ask the candidates whether or not they're planning to attend the vigil. Don't forget to ask those who won't attend to explain their decision. Let's see what kind of excuse they'll come up with to justify their decision not to show up at a peaceful vigil in defense of the unborn babies.
