From 7 am to 7 pm we will pray for 40 consecutive days becoming a visible sign to protect life.
We hope to be a sign of hope that a mother or father will see before entering the abortion facility and save their future child. We may also be a sign of mercy for an abortion worker who is seeking help to get out of a circle of destruction.
