FOUR Day Captains away from covering all three vigils | General Pro Life Discussion | Forum

Coordinating a 1200+ person prayer vigil at three simultaneous locations for 12 hours a day for 40 days straight is no easy undertaking. The two-person staff of the Austin Coalition for Life would not be able to accomplish such a goal (in addition to the ones listed above).

Day Captains are the backbone of the campaign – and we are still in need of FOUR more people to step up to the plate and help ensure the coordination of this fall 40 Days for Life.

Each of the three vigil locations needs one Day Captain for each day of the week. In total, there are seven Day Captains needed for each vigil location, and three locations makes twenty-one Day Captains. We are only FIVE people away from filling every position needed.

Day Captain duties are:

• Contacting volunteers who sign up for your day within 24 hours of them signing up (Day Captains have anywhere from 24-50 volunteers sign up for prayer times on their day)

• Meet your daily volunteers at the pre-campaign Volunteer Training on September 24

• Call and email your daily volunteers weekly for encouragement and as a reminder for their scheduled hour when 40 Days for Life begins

• Fill hours with substitutes in the event that your daily volunteers cannot find substitutes on their own

• Attend three monthly meetings with other Day Captains and campaign leaders (from July-September)

The first monthly meeting is the Day Captain training next Tuesday at 6pm. Call the Austin Coalition for Life today (512-296-2071) and let us know of your desire to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to save lives and build your leadership skills through pro-life work. You will experience a unique view of how grassroots movements operate and the relationships you build will be invaluable.

If the Lord is calling you to give of your time and talent to serve him through pro-life work, the opportunity to become a Day Captain has come at the perfect moment! Call today!

Without you…our prayer vigil this fall will not happen. Will you answer the call?
