COVID-19 NOTICE: 40 Days for Life vigils throughout the world have been cancelled due to the Corona Virus outbreak. We invite you to continue praying for an end to abortion by praying at home. In New Zealand, abortion sits under the umbrella of “health care” and is regarded as an essential service. In this crisis, your prayers for pregnant mothers, fathers, babies and abortion workers are needed more than ever!
Today, somewhere in your city, a woman is taking a pregnancy test which will show two pink lines, confirming that yes, she is pregnant.
For this woman, the circumstances of her life in this very moment mean she despairs and immediately contemplates abortion. Some time in the next week or two, she is going to turn up at the local abortion centre to have an abortion.
Will you be there to offer her hope? Will you be there to be a sign of love and joy and mercy in the one place she least expects it?
Join us in Lent 2020 for New Zealand’s sixth 40 Days for Life vigil and be that sign of hope and help save lives!
