Welcome to 40 Days for Life - Ottawa!

40 Days for Life is an international campaign of prayer and peaceful witness outside of the world's abortion mills to highlight and defeat the scourge of abortion in our time. There have now been six coordinated 40 Days for Life campaigns in Ottawa, beginning in the Autumn of  2008 until now.  These efforts have mobilized people of faith and conscience in 314 cities across North America and the world, including seven Canadian provinces, plus locations in Europe, Africa, and Australia. Tens of thousands of lives have been saved!  After so many years of legalized abortion, many people of faith are experiencing a renewed sense of HOPE!

This 40 Day campaign begins September 26 and lasts until November 4. Be part of the greatest civil rights movement of all time!

The visible component of the 40 Days for Life Campaign is the prayer vigil outside abortion mills. In Ottawa, the vigils take place across from 65 Bank Street, 7:00 am - 7:00 pm daily. To see which days are taken see Vigil Calendar.  To sign up for a one-hour at the vigil site, click on Vigil Registration.
 
A unique aspect of the Ottawa Campaign is the Proclamation of the Word.  Each day parts of the bible are proclaimed. This initiative which started in fall 2011 resulted in powerful spiritual blessings, and undoubtedly contributed to a very successful campaign. To register for one of the ½ hour segments of scriptural proclamation, click here.

 
Proclamation of the Word
The proclamation of the Word will take place during the hours of 11:00AM until 1:00PM each day during the Campaign across the street from, and just a little to the north of, the abortuary.  We will have a podium, microphone and speaker set-up.  You will need your own bible, an umbrella in case it rains and perhaps and bottle of water. Proclamation of the Word is in support of the prayer warriors and street counsellors, therefore, it will not be so loud as to disrupt their work.

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, as it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
