40 Days for Life Austin Spring 2012 Campaign

Join the forum discussion on this post

40 Days for Life is a volunteer based prayer campaign that draws attention to the injustice of abortion through three simple avenues:

  • Prayer and fasting
  • Community outreach
  • Constant vigil

Over 300 people gathered to launch the fall 2010 40 Days for Life

40 Days for Life began in Bryan/College Station in 2004. The first nationally coordinated 40 Days for Life was in 2007. Since then, this simple and highly effective campaign has been the channel of great miracles:

  • Over 400 cities in all 50 states and have conducted a 40 day prayer vigil at the local abortion clinic
  • Ten different countries have conducted a 40 day prayer vigil including: England, Northern Ireland, Brazil, Peru, Canada, Australia, Denmark, and Spain
  • Over 5,045 women haven chosen life for children they were going to abort – because of the peaceful presence of people in front of the abortion clinics
  • 61 workers in abortion clinics have had conversions and quit their jobs
  • 21 abortion clinics have closed their doors and shut down
  • Thousands upon thousands of men and women with abortions in their past have finally found healing

40 Days for Life has been a campaign of the Austin Coalition for Life since the spring of 2009. Locally, the miracles have been nothing short of amazing:

  • 117 women have chosen life for 119 babies that were going to be aborted (two women were pregnant with twins)
  • Over 900 people have brought prayer to the streets of Austin in front of these clinics
  • People from more than SEVENTY churches have united arm-in-arm at the Austin 40 Days for Life prayer vigil
  • Dozens of women have been redirected to local pregnancy resource centers for help through their pregnancy and beyond
  • Many men and women with abortions in their past have found healing
  • Local newspapers, radio stations and magazines have featured the Austin 40 Days for Life helping to spread awareness about the injustice we stand against

Pro-Lifers from all over Austin lined the sidewalks during the spring 2010 40 Days for Life

 

Prayer volunteers commit to pray for one or more hours each week during the 40 day vigil in front of one of FOUR abortion clinics in Austin. The north location is Whole Woman’s Health off of N I 35 and 183/Rundberg. The south location is Austin Women’s Health Center, off of S I35 and Woodland/Oltorf. The northwest Austin location is International Healthcare Solutions off of Anderson Mill and 183. The southwest Austin location is Planned Parenthood off of Ben White.

The Spring 2012 vigil begins Wednesday, February 22nd. If you are interested in participating in this life-saving campaign or in helping to coordinate the campaign, email info@austincoalitionforlife.com or call the Austin Coalition for Life office at 512.296.2071.

 

The ONLY way a 4-location simultaneous 40 day prayer vigil can happen is if 1200+ faithful Christians commit to man the prayer vigil.
