The 40 Days for Life volunteers in Jacksonville were ready for another 40 days of prayer and fasting ? especially since the owner of the abortion center appeared on local TV to say he was there to stay.

But not long after that, he made a surprise announcement ? his business would shut down because of ?unforeseen circumstances.?

So a rally that was planned for the sidewalk outside turned into a victory celebration!
