John,

You can't beat Mondays during a 40 Days for Life campaign!

Every Monday we'll update the number of confirmed babies saved from abortion as the answer to YOUR prayers.

After just five days of peaceful vigil, we already know of 15 babies saved!

The Phoenix, Arizona vigil has united the Christian community--including the football team at a nearby Catholic high school.

"Players and their coach committed to pray twice a week at Family Planning Associates," wrote Ellen, the campaign co-leader. "They are covering 6-7 AM before school."

The prayers are making a difference.

"We saved a baby!" said Cindy in Phoenix. The boyfriend of an abortion-bound mom approached 40 Days for Life vigil participants to talk. When the conversation concluded, the man called his girlfriend.

Moments later, the expectant mother came out of the abortion facility!

"Keep them in your prayers," Cindy requested.

Sarasota, Florida

A pregnant woman came to Sarasota's Planned Parenthood mega-facility--but received crisis pregnancy resource information from vigil participants.

Shortly thereafter, a pregnancy help center 15 miles away called a Sarasota 40 Days for Life team member to report the mom had come in for help.

"We have a long-distance save to celebrate," the team wrote. "Praise God!"

Lisbon, Portugal

While the pandemic has at-risk volunteers praying remotely from home, others are praying in-person at the vigil site.

From wherever 40 Days for Life participants prayed, God was listening.

"A pregnant girl was helped at the door of the vigil," reported the Lisbon team.

The mom chose life for her baby!

Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

—Ecclesiastes 12:6-7

O God, we too often try to live in ways that ignore our coming death. We forget that our days are numbered by You, that at the end of our days your judgment awaits, that You are the Lord of our destiny. Help us to repent daily, and then to live each day in joyful obedience. Lead us to live in the light and promise of eternity. Prepare us to live fully and sacrificially.
