Today (Feb. 25) is the first day of the first ever 40 Days For Life here in St. Louis marking the beginning of the end of abortion here in our community. Please join with hundreds of other people who have already committed their time, talent, and treasure towards preparing for this historic event. You can make a difference in some ones life.
Please pray and fast for an end to abortion, commit a few hours each week to stand at the peaceful vigil, and participate in the upcoming community outreach.
This campaign started with just my wife and I, and it grew to a team of sixteen (16) core leadership members, twenty-eight (28) local churches or organizations, and hundreds of people committing to pray and fast for an end to abortion in our community. This all happened, not because we are extraordinary people, but because we are ordinary people, doing God’s extraordinary work. “For with God all things are possible.”
I’ll see you at the vigil!
Blessings,

Come Join Us In Prayer
Thank you for having accepted God’s invitation to participate in this life-saving campaign. You truly are blessed to have received this opportunity to grow deeper in communion with God by allowing Him to work through you to heal our world from the tragedy of abortion.
In the gospel accounts of Jesus’ healing miracles, Jesus was moved to heal them not just because of His great love for them, BUT because of their faith in Him. May we approach Him with this same humble confidence as we begin our 40 Days for Life campaign.
Prayer’s primary purpose is to increase our union with God. It is God’s greatest desire to be an intimate part of our lives, for us to fully rely on Him. Prayer lifts us into the presence of God, where He empowers us to do more than we could ever imagine. With our total reliance on Him, He can accomplish more through us than an infinite amount of men working without God’s grace.
During these 40-days, we must approach God with humility but complete confidence in His desire to triumph over the darkness that rules our world in the form of abortion. Having faith not only in His infinite mercy but also trust in His timeliness.
Fasting can help create in us this humble and confident posture. It is often called physical prayer or the soul of prayer. It directs us to eat of the ‘true food’ which is to do the Father’s will (John 4:34). Fasting is a self-sacrificing action or inaction, which is offered to God to show our respect, love and reliance on Him.
Fasting strengthens us by removing earthly distractions. It can help us to see how great our need is for God, and it can make us more grateful for all the blessings he has already given us. By fasting, we allow GOD to provide for and satisfy our needs. It helps us become dependent and trusting servants attuned to God’s will within our lives.
In preparation for this journey from February 25th to April 5th, I encourage you to seek God’s guidance on your prayer and fasting commitments. Let Him lead you on how He wishes to deepen His union with you and what He sees as obstacles within your life. This prayerful discernment will be the basis for a more loving and grace filled experience.
But no matter how you chose to pray or what your fast consists of, know that your desire to follow God’s will and the condition of your heart is what pleases God most. I thank you again, for your openness and willingness to be part of this effort.
I also thank God for this opportunity that He has set before us. Through this journey it is my hope that we will be led to a deeper communion with God. That we may seek Him in complete faith to remove this injustice, and heal our land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

God, I think you’ve got the wrong number
40 Days for Life wishes to thank all of you who have committed your time and prayers for this life-saving campaign. We truly appreciate your sacrifice for this powerful effort.
For those of you still determining your roles, we continue to pray for you and your discernment of how God could effectively use you to change the hearts and minds in our local community. To hopefully encourage you in this process, below are some words from Dianne Adam, Prayer Coordinator for the St. Louis 40 Days for Life leadership team.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God, I think you’ve got the wrong number.
When I stumbled across the national 40 Days for Life website last October – 20 days into the fall campaign, I was overwhelmed with the power of the campaign. I truly felt the hand of God upon this effort and I knew instantly that He wanted me to be involved with it. I confess that I was not overjoyed.
I don’t need this obligation. I don’t have the time or energy. It’s too overwhelming. Excuses and more excuses came to my mind and rolled off my tongue. I could not imagine what God could do with me, or how I could do anything to help this effort. So I said, “Pick someone else God, I think you got the wrong number.”
But I could not get away from the belief that God had placed His hand upon this campaign and was beckoning me to be part of it. He patiently continued to work on softening my heart and encouraging me that He could do anything – if I simply trusted.
So I answered the call and said, “Lead me Lord, Lead me!” And oh, did He ever.
He connected me with others who also believed in this campaign’s power to change hearts and minds about the tragedy of abortion. He empowered me with energy and strength. He calmed my fears and released my anxiety. He continues to give me faith each day to trust in His power and love.
I admit some days it isn’t easy, some days it’s darnn hard. Too many things to do, too little time to do it. But even on those days, I know that had I refused His invitation to join 40 Days for Life it would have meant missing out on witnessing His presence and the work He is doing among us.
40 Days for Life to me is hope. Hope that someday no more babies will die. Hope that no more mothers or fathers will live a life of regret and despair. Hope that our community, our society, our world will no longer look at life as expendable, but valuable and a beautiful gift from God.
And on that day when abortion ends, I believe God with the millions of aborted souls surrounding Him will smile and say, “Thank you my faithful servant, you may now rest.”
I encourage you to become involved in this life-saving campaign in whatever capacity God places on your heart. I encourage you to trust because He has the right number, and He’s waiting for you to answer.
Peace and Joy,
Dianne Adam

Recently I was taking off from Lambert St. Louis Airport on a business trip, and was lucky enough to get a window seat. As I gazed over our great city to see cars on the highways, people walking in and out of stores, and just business as usual, I couldn’t help but wonder how God looks down at us. Are we just going about our daily lives, or are we making a difference in someone else’s life. What does God think about our contribution to help save lives and change hearts?
As I thought about that, and shared small talk with the person next to me in the airplane, I couldn’t help but remember how extraordinary our God is and how ordinary we all are. For this campaign will not be a success because we somehow have all the right answers, but because God has given us the tools to do his work. We just need to but his work into action. “For with God all things are possible.”
Here are just a few of the many recent examples of how God has worked through you and me to bring about change in our community:
40 Days For Life St. Louis was feature on the Archdiocese main webpage:
***http://www.archstl.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=818&Itemid=1
Jennifer Brinker of the St. Louis Review wrote a front page article about 40 Days For Life:

Jason Sibert of the Suburban Journal featured 40 Days For Life in a recent article:
***http://suburbanjournals.stltoday.com/articles/2009/02/14/madison/news/0215gcj-life.txt
Paul Clayton of KFUO 850 AM will be featuring 40 Days For Life this Wednesday
Feb. 18th at 7:45am during his morning radio show:
***http://www.kfuoam.org/
By the grace of God, 40 Days for Life has already helped to save more than 1,128 children from death by abortion, led thirteen clinic workers to walk away from the abortion industry, and contributed to the closure of three abortion centers.
And now YOU have a chance to help shape history as part of this spring's 40 Days for Life!
So I invite you to take the first step and join with many other like minded people at our Kick-Off Rally this Saturday February 21st at 6:30PM following the 5:15PM mass at St. Francis Xavier (College) Church. There will be music, prayer, fun and fellowship. There will also be an opportunity to sign-up for vigil hours.
Here's what to do:
1.) Go to the St. Louis 40 Days for Life website:

Prayer Intentions from our Prayer Coordinator Dianne Adam
******************************************************************
God, we thank you for the abundance you have given us and we ask you to look kindly upon our efforts. We humbly ask you with confidence for the following intentions for the 40 Days for Life St. Louis campaign.
*** Thanksgiving for all those who have committed to participate both visible and hidden, and for those who are discerning their roles
*** For continued perseverance in reaching those God wants to participate
*** For all of our efforts, may we always remember He doesn't ask us to be successful, just be willing to try
*** For the local community, may they see and feel Christ’s love reflected in us as we stand in peace and prayer outside Planned Parenthood. .
*** For the conversion of all abortionists and their supporters, may God touch their hearts and minds to the tragedy of abortion
*** If God so desires, that our vigil participation extends to 24 hours giving witness to His power and glory
*** For all those participating that we may be protected against the forces of evil as we engage in this spiritual warfare
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:14

40 Days For Life Update
I understand that some of you are on the fence about going to the 40 Days for Life Kick-off Rally on Feb. 21st. I need to stress the importance of this cause.
Brian (my husband) and I spent 2 hours praying outside Planned Parenthood today. About 10:00AM a white SUV came through the drive way and stopped at the front of the building. A young lady about 18 years old came down the stairs and got into the passenger side of the car. They circled around the parking lot and then stopped. At this point we could tell the young woman in the passenger seat was very upset and started to cry. The driver, possibly her mother, seemed unmoved and unwilling to console her daughter. Brian and I continued to pray louder and harder. We knew that the choice she made was irreversible and would affect the rest of her life. We watched as this young woman cried for over 3-4 minutes with no hope for the future. Please pray for this woman and for all women who have had abortions and are planning to have abortions.
I do not claim to understand what these women are going through but I know abortion can leave a woman with a lifetime of regret. She may wonder what would have made my child laugh? What would I have named my child? What would my child look like? Abortion kills a child and wounds countless others. Mothers are told it is their body and they have a choice. What about the body of the child? Do they have a say? What if now, at this very moment someone was deciding whether you live or die? This decision is not based on what you have done or will do, but based on the Choice of the one person that should love you the most…your mother.
40 Days for Life is a campaign to end abortion through prayer and education. We are not here to judge but to offer a voice for the voiceless.

you still have plenty of time to pray, and discern your role in this amazing pro-life campaign!
If you haven’t already done so, you can start by emailing, calling, or speaking with your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors about 40 Days for Life. Inform them that this prayer-based campaign has proven results like no other effort in the pro-life movement. Every effort has its place and its own unique rewards, but this is special.
40 Days for Life has the power of God closing down abortion facilities, abortionists and other abortion-industry workers walking away from their jobs, women choosing life for their babies and hope for themselves, vigil participants witnessing miracles every day!
Our local campaign is currently featured on the Catholic Archdiocesan website and will be in the St. Louis Review this Friday. People are noticing this growing effort and recognizing that something big is on the horizon.
Please join us for the first ever 40 Days For Life Kick-Off Rally at St. Francis Xavier (College) Church Ball Room where hundreds of other Pro-Life people from the St. Louis area will join together to prepare to DO SOMETHING about this evil that exist in our city. There will be speakers, prayer, music, and fellowship. Special guests include Amy Martin, a post abortive woman and St. Louis Region coordinator of Silent-No-More. Please bring everyone you know…there will be opportunities to meet new people and talk about how you plan to make a difference here in St. Louis.
