A unique approach to ending abortion This fall from September 23 - November 1, our community will be one of more than 209 cities in 45 American states, five Canadian provinces and Denmark joining together for a coordinated pro-life mobilization -- the 40 Days for Life campaign. 40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of: We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in West Chester -- and throughout America. Learn more about the national 40 Days for Life campaign. 1. Pray and fast Christ told us that some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. The two go hand in hand. Prayer keeps us rooted in the fact that it is our desire to carry out God's will. Fasting is a sacrifice that helps us reach beyond our own limitations with God's help. Fasting is not a Christian diet; it is a form of physical prayer. You can fast from food, TV, alcohol ... anything that separates you from God. 2.
