Eureka rally to kick off 40 days of life is part of the largest international pro-life coordinated effort

 “We truly pray that this 40 Days for Life campaign will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Humboldt County and beyond,” said Stephanie Goodwin, who coordinates the local effort.

“We will start our campaign with a rally at the corner of Walford Avenue and Wilson Street on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 6:30 p.m.”

Eureka is one of 559 cities in 27 nations across the globe coming together to make 40 Days for Life the largest internationally coordinated pro-life mobilization in history.

Through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and peaceful prayer vigil, God has used 40 Days for Life to spare 9,699 babies
from abortion, bring 107 abortion workers to Christ, and close 59 abortion centers. Join 40 Days for Life in Eureka from February 18 – March 29 to pray for the end of abortion. “We start this effort by drawing
members of the community together to share the vision of 40 Days for Life and to pray for God’s blessings on this effort. It is time to focus attention on the harm abortion has done to our city,” said
Allen Rode, previous Coordinator.

“This will mark the start of 40 days of prayer and fasting, with special attention to prayer in the public right-of-way near Planned Parenthood: 3225 Timber Fall Court, Suite B, in Eureka, California, as well
as various types of community outreach. We believe that every life is precious and look forward to seeing what kind of transformation God will bring about in our city,” said Lucinda Jackson, Public
Relations Coordinator.

All prayer vigil participants are asked to sign a statement of peace, pledging to conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner at all times.

40 Days for Life is a peaceful, intensive campaign that focuses on 40 days of prayer and fasting, 40 days of peaceful vigil at abortion facilities, and 40 days of grassroots educational outreach. The 40-day time
frame is drawn from examples throughout Biblical history where God brought about world-changing transformation in 40-day periods.
