You can help save lives
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:
-
40 days of prayer and fasting
-
40 days of peaceful vigil
-
40 days of community outreach
We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Abilene—and throughout America.
Abilene is excited to be a part of the fall 40 Days for Life campaign from September 23 - November 1. After Abilene's first 40 Days for Life phenomenally successful campaign this past spring, Abilene is gearing up for a bigger and better prayer vigil this fall.
This fall 40 Days for Life Abilene will maintain a prayer vigil at the Planned Parenthood location. We are pulling out all the stops to allow God to work through us like never before to end abortion.

Take a stand for life
While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion facilities.
Across the country and world, 40 Days for Life has seen blessings as well:
* More than 1,560 women who have chosen life for children
they intended to abort
* Countless men and women with abortions in their past
finally started to seek healing
* 18 workers in the abortion industry have questioned and
left their jobs
* More than 100,000 Christians have brought their faith to
the streets, and thousands upon thousands of hearts have
been changed.
* 240 cities in 50 states have participated, and 6 other
countries have participated too
* 3 abortion facilities shut down for good

One life saved:
Our Abilene 40daysforlife team has saved its first baby!!! A young woman that went in PP, with the intention of having an abortion, changed her mind because of watching our volunteers praying and sacrificing for her and others. She decided she would keep her baby!!!! Praise God!!! If anyone has another live-saving encounter at the clinic, please contact Paula and let her know. Contact info is at the bottom of this page.
