• Women have been spared from the effects of abortion, including a lifetime of regrets
• 53 abortion workers have quit their jobs and walked away from the abortion industry
• 14 abortion facilities completely shut down following local 40 Days for Life campaigns

Since applications for the next 40 Days for Life campaign closed last week, things have been crazy.

We still do not know the final number of locations yet for the September 28-November 6 campaign — because of the overwhelming number of applications we received!

We do know one thing. We had 247 cities for the first campaign of 2011, and …

… THIS CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN THAT!

We hope to have the total number ready some time next week. That’s when we’ll have the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

In the meantime … in case you missed the video we sent out last week, we’d really like you to take a look!

Have you ever seen a baby that was scheduled to be aborted … but was saved at the last moment … during a 40 Days for Life campaign?

If not, then watch this report from La Puente, California:

It is not every day that a baby girl saved from abortion is able to attend the celebration that marks the closing of the facility where she was scheduled to be aborted. AMAZING!

Following the closing of this abortion facility — a place where FIVE 40 Days for Life campaigns were conducted — 40 Days for Life has gotten lots of media attention.

Dr. Jerry Newcombe’s recent article called 40 Days for Life the “secret weapon against abortion.”

“40 Days for Life may well be helping to change the landscape in America when it comes to abortion, one prayer at a time,” he wrote.

Dr. Newcombe is an author as well as senior producer and host of the TV program “Truths that Transform with Dr. D. James Kennedy.”

This week, please pray for all of those who have stepped forward to lead campaigns this fall — they have a big job ahead of them and your prayers DO make a difference.

For Life,
