This Fall, from September 23 - November 1, our community will be one of over 200 cities across the nation joining together for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- 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 Kalamazoo -- and throughout America.

Our Fall Campaign will be September 23 through November 1, 2009.  The Leadership team is forming NOW!  If you'd like to help - please let us know - email us at 40dayskalamazoo@gmail.com or call (269) 553-0489.

 "In working to save the unborn, let's not worry about what will happen to us if we act; let's worry about what will happen to the unborn if we don't."
