This 40 Days for Life campaign is the largest, by far, of any to date! 170+ cities are participating. This campaign is particularly important as it leads up to, and ends just a few days before, our national elections which will have a profound and lasting impact on life issues in our country. Please watch this 39 minute video to see the difference that 40 Days for Life made in Fargo, North Dakota, and the difference that it can make in our state. The time is crucial; and we were made for a time such as this!
