People in Broward and across the world will be praying for an end to abortion during a special 40-day campaign of prayer, fasting, and community outreach, February 14 to March 25. It’s called 40 Days for Life, a peaceful, highly-focused, non-denominational initiative during which participants enlist God’s aid to end abortion.
Nearly 14,000 Lives Saved “40 Days for Life has generated proven life-saving results since its beginning in 2004 in Bryan/College Station, Texas,” said Shawn Carney, president of 40 Days for Life. “During 21 previous coordinated campaigns, 741 communities have participated in this effort.And we know of at least 13,998 unborn children whose lives were spared from abortion during 40 Days for Life campaigns.” Over 90 abortion centers have closed down in the face of 40 Days for Life campaigns. Vigils in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood The local expressions of 40 Days for Life will feature prayer vigils in the public right-of-way outside Fort Lauderdale Women’s Center, 2001 West Oakland Park Blvd., and A Woman's Center of Hollywood, 3829 Hollywood Boulevard. The Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood vigils will run 12 hours per day, seven days a week. Participants can sign up for one hour or for many. All prayer vigil participants are asked to sign a statement of peace, pledging to conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner at all times. Faithful believers are praying that these efforts will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Broward and the nation. |
