Something is desperately wrong in America...
In a nation that was founded on an unalienable right to life, endowed by our Creator, more than 1,200,000 innocent children are killed by abortion each year. Millions of women have been wounded by abortion – some physically, and many more emotionally and spiritually. Fathers who have lost children to abortion have been shoved to the sidelines, abandoned to lives of regret. Numerous Christian churches have fallen silent about abortion, and many followers of Jesus Christ have become apathetic or indifferent, failing to “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Now, a grassroots movement of Christians is mobilizing to change this abortion minded culture through 40 days of prayer and fasting, but why 40 days you may ask?
God has used the period of 40 days throughout history to bring about transformation...
• Noah experienced transformation during 40 days of rain
• Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai
• David was transformed by Goliath’s 40 day challenge
• Elijah was transformed when God gave him 40 days of strength from one meal
• Nineveh was transformed when God gave the city 40 days to remain faithful
• Jesus was transformed and empowered by 40 days in the desert
• The disciples were transformed after spending 40 days with Jesus following His resurrection
Just think of the transformation God could accomplish if individuals and communities across America unite together this fall for 40 days of prayer and fasting, pulling out all the stops to end the violence of abortion...
