40 Days for Life Campaign begins
TORONTO, Feb. 25 2009 - 40 Days for Life is a period of prayer, fasting and constant vigil organized by Campaign Life Coalition with the goal of ending abortion. The campaign began in Texas in 2004 and the first Canadian ventures took place last fall in Ottawa and Halifax. Here in Toronto this year, it consists of 40 days from February 25 to April 5, 24/7, 960 hours on-site prayer vigil at 960 Lawrence Avenue West, outside and across from one of Toronto's abortuaries.
Many people are not aware that the medical facility located at suite 501, 960 Lawrence Avenue West is also an abortuary in operation since 1996. At this location many innocent human beings, who are peacefully growing and developing in their mother's wombs are violently killed by abortion. The slaughter has to stop!
We believe our most powerful weapon is prayer and fasting. People dedicate one-hour time periods at the site to witness and plead to heaven for the tiny lost lives. We also remember the moms and dads whose lives are never the same after their abortion experience.
Coordinator for the Toronto's 40 Days for Life campaign is Nicole Campbell.
