“40 DAYS FOR LIFE: TREASURE COAST”
A community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through: Prayer & fasting, Constant vigil and Community outreach-here in the Treasure Coast!
40 Days for Life is a peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their neighborhoods, friends and families. A desire to cooperate with God in carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion in America. The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection. It’s clear that God sees the transformative value of His people in meeting a 40-day challenge. 40 Days uses a 3-pronged effort.
*Prayer and fasting: Christ told us that 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. 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.
*Constant vigil: The most visible component of 40 Days for Life is a constant prayer vigil outside A Woman’s World Abortion Clinic-the Treasure Coast’s only committer of abortions! It is a peaceful, prayerful, safe witness to the clinic’s patients and staff, and to the entire community, that evil is in our midst and with God’s help, it will be defeated. We need people to sign up for a 2hour/week time slot.
*Community outreach: During 40 Days for Life, the pro-life message is proactively taken to the community through a focused, grassroots educational effort. This year, we are going to focusing on a petition to the City of Ft. Pierce that “An abortion clinic should not be allowed to do business across the street from a public elementary/middle school”. We will accomplish this mainly through the churches, home school and community groups. We will need captains from each church and organization to supervise the petition drive. We obtained 4,000 petitions against the School’s sex ed program and we can collect more for this cause.
