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!

40 Days for Life works! It offers hope and saves lives!
In New Zealand Family Life International NZ sponsors 40 Days for Life vigils in Auckland and Wellington during Lent as part of our ongoing mission to end abortion and build a culture of life and love through prayer, education and service. The vigils are peaceful and prayerful.
Other individuals and groups, independent of FLI, may also facilitate a 40 Days for Life vigil in different locations in New Zealand. These vigils will be advertised on this page alongside the FLI sponsored vigils when they occur.
