It's Here

It’s here.

The beginning of the 40 Days for Life-Dallas campaign has arrived.

As we embark on the next 40 days beginning tomorrow, September 23, I can’t hide the fact that I am so excited to see what God has in store for us here in Dallas.

Tonight, Tuesday September 22, we have our Kickoff Rally planned. It’ll start at 6:00 p.m. in the parking lot of Birth Choice, the new pregnancy center located across the street from Robinson’s abortion center. The address is 1902 Record Crossing, Dallas. I know that the Holy Spirit has something special planned, as two dynamic speakers take to the microphone to encourage us and bless us as we begin our campaign.

Father Paul Weinberger, one of our guest speakers, is the pastor of St. William Catholic Church in Greenville. Father Weinberger is a faithful sidewalk counselor outside Routh Street abortion center, and regularly celebrates Mass at the White Rose Chapel where he presides over Thursday Adoration.

Our other guest speaker is Reverend Stephen Broden, Pastor of Fair Park Bible Fellowship in Dallas. Pastor Broden is a member of the national pro-life organization L.E.A.R.N., and one of the key black pastors fighting on the national level to defund Planned Parenthood of taxpayer money. He is featured in the documentary film Ma'afa 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America, a whistle-blowing exposé on Planned Parenthood’s eugenics roots.

The time to begin praying and fasting for an end to abortion is at hand. To help maintain focus on the Lord and stay in tune with His guidance for this peaceful outreach, the national team has prepared a series of daily devotionals to guide you through each day of this fall's 40 Days for Life.

The daily devotionals are posted online ... plus you can receive them every day by e-mail by signing up here. You'll also receive important updates about how you can get involved in the prayerful 40 Days for Life campaign this fall.

Most of us devote 40 hours or more to our job. I know I do. But how many of can say that we have saved a life at our work in any one of those 40 hours? I’m going to put out a challenge to you. I am going to ask you to devote 40 hours; one hour a day, over the next 40 days to praying at the peaceful vigil outside of Robinson’s abortion center. And because I have seen many people do this in previous campaigns, I can say without reservation, that your life will be changed at the end of this. And your prayers and peaceful presence will have contributed to saving lives. Not just saving babies from death, but saving mothers, fathers and grandparents from a lifetime of regret. Will you take me up on the challenge? Will you pray with us each day of this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign? Our Lord tells us, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

Our vigil is held 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at Robinson’s abortion center, 1929 Record Crossing, Dallas. Right now, our most urgent hours are for the first days of the campaign, Wednesday, September 23, and also Thursday, September 24. There must be at least two prayer volunteers per hour. Additionally, we ask that if you are signing up for the hours of 12:00 a.m.-7:00 a.m., or 7:00 p.m.-11:59 p.m., that at least one of the two prayer volunteers be a man. It is also permissible to pray in your vehicle if you feel safer that way. The following hours have no prayer volunteers scheduled:
