40 Days for Life Opening Rally - September 24th!
We pray outside the Planned Parenthood at 2140 Babcock
Prayer and Fasting
Christ told us some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. The two go hand in hand. Prayer keeps us rooted in the fact that it is our desire to carry out God's will. Fasting is a sacrifice that helps us reach beyond our own limitations with God's help.Ā
Fasting is not a Christian diet; it is a form of physical prayer. You can fast from food, TV, alcohol ... anything that separates you from God.
Peaceful Vigil
The most visible component of 40 Days for Life is a constant prayer vigil outside a place where children are aborted. It is the hope that the vigil can be maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Here in San Antonio we do 12 hours per day, six days a week.
It is a prayerful witness to the clinic's patients and employees, and to the entire community, that evil is in our midst and that, with God's help, it will be defeated.
Community Outreach
During 40 Days for Life, the pro-life message is proactively taken to the community through focused, grassroots educational efforts. People are given the opportunity to visibly show their support for 40 Days for Life.
A door-to-door petition and education drive reaches out. Informational flyers can raise awareness about abortion. Church involvement, media contact and campus outreach also contribute.
The SACFL team can also make a presentation about 40 Days for Life to your church group or school at no charge.
