The reports keep flooding in from the 135 cities that
have just concluded the spring 40 Days for Life -- and
there are still more we'll be getting over the next
few days -- but I just had to let you know that the
confirmed number of lives saved from abortion during
this campaign has now reached...
421!!
There are many other things to report to you as well,
just as soon as we finish compiling these reports. But
here are just a few of the comments from some of the
participating cities (along with some amazing photos):
GREENVILLE, SC: "We are truly humbled at the response
and dedication. What we saw during the 40 Days for
Life was God's hand at work."

AUGUSTA, ME: "People have come from all over Maine.
Prayer volunteers have come from a distance of 180
miles."

OCALA, FL: "More than 350 individuals prayed at the
vigil. One couple, between them, totaled 70 hours."

RIVERSIDE, CA: "Clinic security guards said we have
opened their eyes about some things and one is
quitting. She doesn't want to work there any longer."

CHARLOTTE, NC: "During this 40 Days for Life campaign,
there were 41 babies saved from abortion."

LITTLE ROCK, AR: "We plan to offer training and build
a sidewalk counseling team. We also plan to maintain
our public presence at Planned Parenthood."
See photo at: http://40daysforlife.com/blog/?p=232
TOCCOA, GA: "People learned the truth by reading
information, by listening to post-abortive women and
by standing in the gap in silent prayer for the
unborn."

EVERETT, WA: "There is no question of continuing our
involvement in fall 2009 40 Days for Life campaign. We
are motivated!"
See photo at: http://40daysforlife.com/blog/?p=232
ALBUQUERQUE, NM: "We are encouraging our supporters to
continue to work in pro-life ministry throughout the
year. There's plenty of work for everyone."
STERLING HEIGHTS, MI: "This is our second campaign and
we have doubled in size. We have determined,
faith-filled men, women, teens and children who will
not give up."

PROVIDENCE, RI: "One mother stopped, on her way out of
the abortion clinic, to tell us that she had decided
against her scheduled abortion."
ABILENE, TX: "Since the 40 Days of Life campaign
started we have had many more abortion-minded girls
coming to our pregnancy center."
SAN FRANCISCO, CA: "We had a woman and what appeared
to be her boyfriend walk up to the Planned Parenthood,
look at us, and then walk away."
See photo at: http://40daysforlife.com/blog/?p=232
SAN MATEO, CA: "One clinic worker said to a vigil
volunteer: 'Why don't you pray at your homes? You're
making our work here difficult!'"
And that's a perfect note to end on.
It's clear that being present in prayer at abortion
facilities makes a world of difference -- for the
mothers, for the babies, for the abortion workers.
Please look within your heart and pray about this as
we approach Easter Sunday -- how will you continue to
answer Christ's call to stand up for the least of His
brothers and sisters?
Thanks again for all you do to be their voices!
In Christ Who Is Life,
David Bereit
National Director

P.S.- On day 39 of this campaign, Shawn Carney was
traveling across Canada visiting 40 Days for Life
sites, and was able to record a quick audio interview
with George, the local campaign leader in Montreal,
about the impact of 40 Days for Life. We just posted
the recording online for you to listen (including part
in French!) at: http://40daysforlife.com/blog/?p=232
