This Wednesday, the next 40 Days for Life campaign begins in 163 cities from coast-to-coast and across Canada, Australia, and Northern Ireland.

Faithful people will join together in prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and grassroots outreach from February 17 to March 28, imploring God to bring an end to the injustice of abortion.

Want to see — with your own eyes — tangible proof that 40 Days for Life works?

Then watch the inspiring two-part video below, of former Planned Parenthood “employee of the year” Abby Johnson speaking at the Walk for Life West Coast.

On part 1, just past the 4-minute mark, you’ll hear Abby tell the 40,000 people assembled in the rain: “I’m here to tell you that 40 Days for Life does work — because I’m standing here.”

If you don’t know her story yet, Abby was the former director of the Planned Parenthood abortion center in Bryan/College Station, Texas — the facility that was site of the first-ever 40 Days for Life back in 2004.

Abby watched six 40 Days for Life campaigns occur outside of her abortion center before experiencing a profound spiritual conversion during last fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign — after witnessing an abortion via ultrasound for the first time.

She not only resigned her job, but has devoted herself to speaking out for life every chance she gets — and Abby now regularly prays outside of her former workplace.

Only by the grace of God!

Now, can you imagine what it will be like when the director — or another worker — at the abortion center nearest to you experiences a conversion and joins the pro-life movement?

It really can happen.

We never expected it to happen when 40 Days for Life first began … but God’s plans are bigger — and much more amazing — than ours.

Expecting GREAT Things,

David Bereit
National Campaign Director
