Thank you for helping to save lives this year. This Fall, 2009, we begin again!
This fall 2009, from Wednesday, September 23 - Sunday, November 1, 2009 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, our groundbreaking efforts were not in vain and will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in the Twin Cities, and throughout America.
In Texas this 40 Days for Life group is celebrating a baby save! I'ts colder here but your presence on the street at HealthPartners' Regions Hospital can save lives!
Continue to take a stand for life.
Even though 40 Day for Life Twin Cities Winter 2009 has ended, you can continue to pray in front of HealthPartners Regions's Hospital. Many groups and individuals have decided to continue praying and holding informational signs in front of the hospital on a regular schedule.
You can help make a life-saving impact by praying at:
HealthPartners' Regions Hospital is located just north of downtown Saint Paul across I-94 on 640 Jackson Street, Saint Paul MN 55116 You can participate in peaceful vigil on the public sidewalk, in front of the main entrance on Jackson Street.

"I'm interested in going out
to Regions Hospital, what do I do when I get
there?"
The answer is easy: PRAY!
The question usually rests upon an underlying fear may
of us have: "I want to go to pray, but I'm
nervous because I don't know how to counsel women who
are going for an abortion."
Well, if you're nervous the first time that means
you're normal. You need not sidewalk counsel if it
isn't your calling, don't worry about it.
Just go and PRAY! God will take care of the rest.
How do we know that? Because the number of lives saved
from abortion during this 40 Days for Life campaign
now stands at...
...1,483 since beginning 20 months ago!!!
Is 40 Days for Life really over?
To mark the conclusion of this amazing 40 Days for
Life campaign, David Bereit and Shawn Carney just recorded a
special 9-minute audio for you.
