Pro-life group plans ‘40 Days’ kickoff rally
Published September 21, 2009
LAKE JACKSON — 40 Days for Life is an intensive pro-life initiative that focuses on 40 days of prayer and fasting, 40 days of peaceful vigil at abortion facilities, and 40 days of grassroots educational outreach. The 40-day time frame is drawn from examples throughout biblical history where God brought about world-changing transformation in 40-day periods.
“On Sept. 23, Lake Jackson area pro-life advocates will join together with people of faith and conscience from many other communities from coast to coast to kick off the area’s own version of the groundbreaking 40 Days for Life campaign,” said Paul Cranley, spokesman for the Lake Jackson 40 Days for Life campaign.
“As people here in Lake Jackson join with others from across the country to pray and fast and take courageous action for 40 days to end the tragic violence of abortion, we look forward to seeing what kind of transformation God will bring about in our city and our hearts,” Cranely said. “Since we, thankfully, do not have an abortion facility in Lake Jackson, we will pray in front of Lake Jackson Intermediate School (Oak Drive and Oyster Creek) that all our children would be protected in the future from the violence of abortion.”
“40 Days for Life has already generated proven lifesaving results,” said David Bereit, national director for 40 Days for Life. “During four national coordinated campaigns, more than 240 communities have joined together to work for an end to abortion in their cities.”
“With such a strong track record of results, we are excited to see what God has in store for this fall,” Bereit said.
“We are expecting great things for our local 40 Days for Life campaign,” Cranley said. “It is exciting for our city to be a part of something that can have such lifesaving impact, and we can’t wait to begin.”
The kickoff rally will be from 6:15 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at St. Michael’s Church Family Life Center. The public welcome. To learn more, visit www.40daysforlife.com or call Cranley at 979-297-3364.
