HELP SAVE LIVES IN GREENVILLE!
- 40 Days for Life
Every child’s life that is lost through abortion is nothing short of an affront to God, and if that does not spur us to action, then what will? The most effective way we can work to end this genocide is through prayer. People stand and pray daily to end this blight, and you are being called to join them. Starting September 23rd, please join our 40 Days for Life campaign. Despite laws to protect our children, abortions continue here in Greenville, and last year thousands of children lost their live sin our state as a result. We must continue to pray and to be a visible presence to draw attention to this human tragedy until all life is protected from conception to natural death.
40 Days for Life is a campaign of prayer, fasting, and public vigils at abortion facilities. There are two major campaigns each year, although Greenville keeps vigil every day. Scripture tells us our responsibility is to “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.” (Proverbs 24:11). Are you?
This ministry’s backbone is prayer, and you are needed as a witness to join us in praying outside the Greenville abortion facility during the Fall campaign, starting September 23rd. Please make this a priority, for the sake of those children who may be sacrificed without your participation. Visit www.40daysforlife.com/greenville to sign up on the vigil calendar or contact Judy (864)506-0964 or Dcn. Bob (828)860-5622. Help spread the word about this important life-saving effort.
40 Days for Life Closing Celebration: Sunday, November 2, from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm, Christ the King Church, 1223 Grove Road, Prayer warriors will share testimonies from the current campaign, and then have a “Celebration of Life” with refreshments and a drawing for door prizes. Bring a chair.
