40 Days for Life Campaign

12:00 AM - 11:50 PM

40 Days for Life is a peaceful, highly-focused, non-denominational initiative that focuses on 40 days of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil at abortion facilities, and grassroots educational outreach. The 40-day time frame is drawn from examples throughout Biblical history. The campaign will feature a peaceful 40-day, 24/7 prayer vigil in the public right-of-way outside the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 3706 Orin Road Madison, WI 53704. Prayer vigil participants are asked to sign a statement of peace, pledging to conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner at all times. Two volunteers are scheduled each hour to peacefully witness and pray for an end to abortion. Sign-up for your vigil hour! Visit 40daysforlife.com/madison and/or vigilforlife.org/calendar for more information. Contact Gwen Finnegan at 608-393-8545 or info@vigilforlife.org to sign-up or ask questions.
