Your help is urgently needed as
an on-site peaceful prayer warrior outside the Tacoma
40 Days for Life prayer vigil location--the sidewalk
outside the downtown Tacoma Planned Parenthood abortion
site (813 Martin Luther King Way):
this Sunday
11/4:
12 noon
- 1pm
*especially
one who's experienced at praying at this location
before.
The prayer vigil is
occurring from 10am - 2pm, 7 days a week. There are
already at least 2 prayer warriors scheduled to be present
during the hours between 10am - 2pm that aren't
listed above. You are most welcome to join in prayer

try to sign up for one or more of the hours listed above

40 Days for Life, please send an email to

Thanks! Those who have prayed outside this location,
including many who have never prayed outside an abortion
site in their lives, are describing
the experience as profoundly spiritually moving!
40 days for Life is a prayer campaign at the site where
some of God's children are destroyed--it is not a protest.
We pray for His children, their mothers, their fathers,
their other relatives, and those who participate in abortions.

PRAISE GOD!
OLYMPIA, WA

After 229 hours of uninterrupted prayer
and witness, the people of 40 Days for Life in Olympia were
blessed with the most wonderful experience pro-lifers can have,
A SAVED LIFE! In this case, the life saved
was that of a pre-born baby.
A young couple came to Planned Parenthood to abort their baby. Dani, the sidewalk counselor at the time, spoke with them and told them the truth about God’s love and that their unborn child was an expression of that love. She was able to tell them about the assistance available to them from many sources, including our state’s programs: medical coupons, low income housing, food stamps, WIC, etc. and also that of some local private organizations such as Pregnancy Aid and Shelter Home for Pregnant Teens. They listened intently, sometimes leaning forward to hear Dani’s words over the loud din of pro-aborts’ car horns which were being used in an attempt to intimidate the pro-lifers gathered. In the end, the prayer warriors won and the pro-death side lost. PRAISE GOD!
For all those who are participating in 40 Days for Life by your
physical presence at Planned Parenthood and/or fasting and praying,
thank you. For those who have not yet experienced this tremendous
joy in the knowledge that you are being instrumental in this
life saving effort, please consider joining us.
