A unique approach to ending abortion

From Fall Sept. 23 to Nov. 1, 2009, our community will be one of more than 170 cities in 45 states joining together for the 40 Days for Life campaign.   

In Salem, Oregon the timing is from Monday through Saturday 
8 am to 8 pm, and the abortions are done on Wednesdays and Fridays 9 am to 5 pm.

40 days for life is an intensive effort designed to raise awareness, save lives, bring healing, and lead our nation to repentance for the sin of abortion through three components:

  • 40 days of prayer and fasting
  • 40 days of peaceful vigil
  • 40 days of community outreach

Learn more about the national 40 Days for Life campaign.

or go to the local website and log on and go to vigil pulldown menu and 
register for one hour of prayer or one hour a week for the 6 weeks.

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.

Each day between now and the end of the campaign, please commit to pray and fast for the nationwide effort, and for the efforts here in our city.
