JACKSON – According to Terri Herring, from Sept. 24 – Nov. 2, the Jackson area community will be uniting with dozens of other cities across America – and around the world – for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history – the 40 Days for Life campaign.
People of faith are praying that this effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion, Herring said. The 40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign that has generated measurable lifesaving results in more than 130 cities where it has been implemented, she said.
The 40 Days for Life campaign is made up of three key components: Prayer and Fasting: Invite people of faith throughout our city to join together for 40 days of fervent prayer and fasting for an end to abortion. Peaceful Vigil: Stand for life through a 40-day peaceful public witness outside the last abortion clinic in Mississippi at 2903 N. State Street, Jackson. Community Outreach: Take a positive, upbeat pro-life message to every corner of our city through media efforts, church presentations, petition drives, and public visibility.
