Your video is finally ready!
After a few technological glitches and setbacks, the video case study I’ve been promising is FINALLY ready for you:
The 39-minute video is a comprehensive case study of a very successful 40 Days for Life campaign that was held in Fargo, North Dakota.
Shawn Carney and I flew to Fargo a couple weeks ago to meet with the local 40 Days for Life leaders and film this, and I think you will be richly blessed.
You’ll hear from their entire campaign team — as well as other volunteers and leaders, including a local radio station owner, the North Dakota leader of Concerned Women for America, and Catholic Bishop Samuel Aquila.
During the video, you will learn…
- How to get a local 40 Days for Life started
- Ways to begin creating an impact in your town
- The lifesaving results of a local campaign
- Wise advice to consider before deciding to conduct a 40 Days for Life in your community
- The great blessings you can experience
You’ll also see footage from a live rally that we held a few feet from the front door of the last remaining abortion facility in the entire state of North Dakota.
This is the most important piece of pre-registration training we have yet made available to you, and is highly recommended for anyone who is even thinking about participating in 40 Days for Life.
If you want to save more lives from abortion where you live, then you will want to make the time to watch this powerful video.
If you don’t have a fast Internet connection to watch this, make a point to go to a local library or somewhere else to watch this.
YES, it’s that important!
Yours for Life,
David Bereit
National Campaign Director
40 Days for Life
P.S.- Keep in mind that registrations begin in less than a week — Wednesday, July 16 — and will go until July 28. More than 275 cities are already on the map expressing interest in holding a local campaign, and the numbers keep growing. It’s going to be an exciting fall!

I have been so encouraged by this video, thank you for sending this out. I will be sending it on to everyone I can possibly think of, in order to give them the opportunity to join God in what He is doing to bring an end to abortion in our nation.
May the Holy Spirit fall upon our nation and call workers into the field. The harvest is ready!!!
God bless you,

To the committee,
Wow what a powerful testimony for other cities and states to use for starting a 40 Days for Life. I am so excited about the 40 Days for Life to start. God is working through us to heal this nation that has been devastated by abortion.

Watching and listening to this video is very enlightening. We hope & pray that each and everyone of us will be encourage to prepare for life’s struglle. “The harvest is abundant but laborers are few; so ask the Master of the harvest to send out laborers for the harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38
We are the harvester of saving life. The harvester gathered & pray for those who wanted to get abortion and also the abortionist performing abortion. Jesus calls us to be the harvesters. We have to remember that helping women and reflect God’s goodness, we attract them to God’s kingdom. And that is what laborers for the harvest do.
Let’s say all together: Thank you JESUS, for including all people who pray for ending the ABORTION in our country, USA. May we always be grateful for the dignity you bestow on US. We praise you great GOD almighty, and You alone are God for the saving of our unborn children and the abortionist to return to God’s mighty hand for life is a wonderful gift from God. We have to offer to HIM and say, Lord, help us to believe more deeply that we are important to You, so that we can live more peacefully in Your presence and that ending Abortion in this country will prevail through Your healing hands and Your divine mercy. We always keep in mind and say, “Lord help us to trust in You.”

Proud to have been there for the filming and the rally. Looking forward to celebrating an end to abortion!
July 10th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Thank you, I will pray and offer up. Your emails make my days bright and give me hope for our country and for God’s plans.
Thank you for working for God. My heart and spirit is with you for all of America.
What a great video!!! Thanks.

I grew up in Fargo and participated in some sidewalk counseling there, which really gave me my roots. I am now going into my second year of college, and I founded Students for Life on my campus. This video was so wonderful because I saw many youths that I recognized. The 40 Days for Life campaign is so important if we want students to get involved with the Pro-life movement. I just want to thank the citizens of Fargo for bringing the campaign to my hometown. I am praying for you. Let’s work together to free North Dakota from the slavery of abortion.

Thank you for the wonderful video. It is very encouraging to see and hear from ordinary people like ourselves doing extraordinary things for God. It renews my Hope in the Gospel of Life.
I hope everyone will take the time to view the video and then make a commitment do all they can to end abortion through prayer, fasting and community outreach.
I can’t wait for the Fall Campaign to begin!
July 10th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Wow! Thank you David and Shawn for a wonderful “40 Days for Life” presentation of the leadership from clergy, religious, prolife people, students and those on the fence in North Dakota who stepped out in faith to pray, fast and witness at the abortion mill!
The fall “40 Days for Life” will be critical for the fall election as our nation decides on what type of President the people will want to lead our land. We pray that the consciences of all peoples will be formed for the good and the protection of life from conception to natural death. “Choose Life America” for God to heal our land!
You will receive power when the Holy Spirit falls on you (World Youth Day scripture verse from Pope Benedict XVI) and you’ll be my witnesses for the TRUTH to be upheld throughout the land where every Planned Parenthood every abortion mill and every abortion hospital will close due to the 5th commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill!” God’s law is written on the human heart.
“BE NOT AFRAID” to proclaim the truth from the rooftops and out at the Planned Parenthood’s that supply women with chemical abortions – The Pill KILLS and at all the Abortion Mills/Hospitals!
God bless you.

WOW!!!!
What a great video! We will begin our 2nd campaign this fall, in the Twin Cities. The saying, ” a picture is worth a thousand words” holds true here.
I encourage everyone to link this to their home page, send an email blast, spread the word and get the body of Christ out on the street in peaceful vigil.
As a post-abortive black male I plead with African-American pastors to have their congregations join 40 Days as well. We had an interracial/bi-lingual half way rally that has energized us to reach out even more to save lives.

Thank you so much for sending this video out. I will do my best to continue to spread the word about praying to end abortion and gathering the troops to join the 40 Days for Life team. This video has moved me once again to renew my committment to speak up for those that cannot speak for themselves.
If in below 30 degree weather a town can do this what great hope we may have here in the valley of the sun. Let’s roll!

Thanks be to God for the inspiration He has provided for people to be involved in this work. This video is an excellent tool, not only to encourage new people to jump in, but to reinspire tired pro-life workers to jump in with more vigor! This is not the time to bury our heads in the sand – we must do everything within our power to end abortion. God is with us – who can be against us?
Thank you David & Shawn for your tireless work – please keep it up! You are both a great blessing to us all! And thank you to all of the people who continue to labor in the Lord’s vineyard – please God, may the harvest of this Fall’s 40 Days for Life be abundant!
Gratefully In Christ,

I’m so proud of my daughter, Mary Piorkowski, who informed me of the 40 Day for Life. My e-mail server continually puts Dave’s messages’ into the Spam Box, therefore I depend on word from Mary.
I’m not so active physically anymore but my prayers are daily for the success of this wonderful program.
I commend all of the workers in North Dakota and pray for their continued success.

It still brings tears.

Keep up the great work North Dakota!! We in New Hampshire will be praying not only for an end to abortion in our state, but yours as well. This is a spiritual battle, and we know that in the end we win, the Bible tells us so. Let us all pray that we will see it accomplished in our own lifetime.
God bless,

This video was very encouraging to all of us to continue to stand w/ you and all our states and for this nation to come to repentence and to the end of this holocust. This was declared 7/07/07 at an intercessory prayer gathering I was a part of and we will continue to stand, believe and do warfare for truth and righteousness and justice for all (including the unborn, elderly and handicapped). Thank you North Dakota for your obedience and boldness……..keep up the good work.

Be not afraid, David and national team, to be supporting and leading so many people. Remember that I said so if times get hard.
North Dakota, I love you guys!
I pray that the Holy Spirit gives us so many gifts this year,
that He gives us strength and gentleness,
that He keeps us under the banner of God,
that He aids our fasting.
Mary Mother of God, please obtain for us from Jesus protection from temptation and strength to be near to Almighty God always and repent if we fall at times.
I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

40 days is growing in Las Vegas!I went from just me, to about 10 people now. i am really starting to beleive we can do this.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Thank you for the video, I was touched by it. I am so proud of the volunteers and leaders in the video and all those who are doing this around our nation. It is awesome and I know Jesus is pleased with His people. God bless you all.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
David & Shawn, Awesome! What a fantastic Video explaining all about 40 Days for Life. All the testimonies and the Leaders there in N.D. did a great job reaching out to the Bishop, Media, Phone calls, etc. It really encourages me for our 2nd 40 Days for Life here in West Chester in the Fall. We will be having our second meeting at Chester County Pro-Life Coalition next thursday on the 17th of July. I want very much for our Pastor to see this video and hopefully get our people to come alive and participate. There were three babies saved at the West Chester Abortion Mill last Fall. I believe an employee actually left her job, as well. They have also been having trouble keeping a CEO on board. Even keeping Abortionist on a regular basis. They actually didn’t do abortions for two weeks, because they had no Abortionist able to come. I can’t tell you how inspired I am right now to get our 40 Days for Life off the ground. Keep up the good work! We will be praying for your continued success in rallying up more states and cities participating in this great Plan for Life and hopefully finally bring an End To Abortion in our Land. Yes, I agree with the Bishop and all the people; the power of Prayer and Fasting is what is going to End this Holocaust. Please keep us in your prayers! God Bless you all!

David,
Powerful video!!!!!
Thanks for sending this video out. God bless you and everyone in our nation and around the world working to end “Abortion”. To all women,
“BE NOT AFRAID” choose life. Children are a blessing from God, and your son or daughter will bring great joy to your life. Your son or daughter will make you proud that you choose the protection of life. God as great plans for his children from the time of conception to natural death. The power of Prayers, Fasting and Faith in our loving God makes all things possible. Please keep my son and I in your prayers! God bless you all and keep up the great work your doing.

Does anyone know if there is a way to download and put the Fargo case study on DVD. If I could get a download of it somewhere I could probably figure out how to get it on DVD.
July 25th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
WOW, what a great video from the leadership of 40DFL and many others! We, at Orlando, are confronting a bit of setbacks and obstacles after a successful spring campaign at the diocese; monetary budget cutbacks seem to be altering our path to this wonderful campaign; the diocese of Orlando apparently is not able to get on the bandwagon this time. So that we are still trying..hopefully, God will change this trend.
Keep us in your prayers.

The only thing to Fear is FEAR. “Be not afraid I go before you always, come follow me and I will give you rest” & strength to perservere. My every thought, pray and action for the next 40+ days will be offered up for the success of this critical time.
May God touch the hearts of all mothers and save all unborn babies’ lives.
September 23rd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I LOVED this video and the whole program of 40 Days for Life! I thank God that he is blessing us in so many ways. I also love the song “Be Not Afraid” and that is my encouragement daily. I have three children myself and sometimes wonder how we are going to make it through; financially, lack of sleep at times, sicknesses and worry but I keep trying to remember that song and pray every day and it’s amazing how God gets us through and helps us!!!
May God bless you all in your efforts both behind the scenes (prayer and fasting) and on the front lines (at the abortion clinics, protests and in all public places) and help you continue even when it is difficult!
I will also be offering my time this year to pray at a clinic near our house. This will be my first time too and I know the devil will try to tempt me not to go and he may even shout through non believers for me to stop but I know I will have to remain strong and keep singing that very powerful song and God will get me through it, as he has for all of you.
Thank you and God Bless you!

Thank you for all you do in the cause of life for the little unborn children. They need our protection. Let us pray that growing numbers of persons will show compassion and protection for these wonderful innocent individuals. May we come to increase our prayers and also our material support for expectant mothers.
May God guide you and bless you in your work for pro life causes.
