Granite City, IL
HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

YOU can help save lives!

From September 23-November 1, the metroeast/Southern Illinois communities will be one of many areas from coast to coast joining together for the most dynamic coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- 40 Days for Life.  This is grass roots.  It is meant to be advertised by word of mouth.  Encourage your friends, Sunday School class, youth group, pastor, anyone you know to get involved and encourage them to tell others.

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 Granite City -- and throughout America.

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 silent, peaceful, prayer vigil outside The Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City. This abortion mill is the Midwest's largest, late-term abortion mill where no parental consent in necessary. Therefore, there is a higher volume coming from surrounding states.

Does standing outside abortion mills do any good? Just ask the thousands of babies saved due to a peaceful, prayerful witness.

YOU can help make a difference in the life of a child and its mother today! Let's put feet to our prayers at:
