Tomball-Cypress believers sign-up here to participate: 40 Days for Life sign-up sheet. Please submit a contact form for access.You are invited to participate in "40 Days for Life" with other families in the Tomball-Cypress community as we ask the Lord to save lives from abortion and close the Planned Parenthood in Houston. Planned Parenthood of Houston is currently being remodeled to house the largest abortion clinic in the Western Hemisphere including a partial-birth abortion facility.
Families in the Tomball-Cypress area have been led by the Lord to pull together families from our communities with convictions regarding the state of abortion in our nation and city. To take a moment in our lives and recognize the devastation of abortion on our land and with repentant hearts ask the Lord to bring life where death has been rampant.
40 Days for Life is a nationwide prayer and fasting movement RELYING ON THE LORD to end abortion and close abortion centers in our nation. Please read the testimonies of clinics closing and innocent lives being saved on the "40 Days" website. You will be very encouraged!
We are gathering families (children are welcome at your parental digression) who want to participate on Friday February 27th and/or Monday March 2nd with fasting and prayer at the Planned Parenthood building in Houston. We will be praying in 2-4 hour blocks through out the 7am-5pm open hours of the building. The "40 day" event will be from February 25th- April 5th. We have chosen those days in February/March, but you are more than welcome to participate ANY day of the prayer vigil.
40 Days for Life is a peaceful and prayerful campaign to ask God to intervene. This is not rally or picketing campaign. In fact anyone interested in participating must sign a statement of peace that includes the following:
- I will only pursue peaceful solutions to the violence of abortion when volunteering with the 40 Days of Life campaign
- I will show compassion and reflect Christ’s love to all (abortion facility or Planned Parenthood) employees, volunteers, and customers
- I understand that acting in a violent or harmful manner immediately and completely disassociates me from the 40 Days of Life campaign
- I am in no way associated with Planned Parenthood or its affiliates by way of employment, informant, volunteer, client, or otherwise
While standing in the city right of way in front of (abortion facility or Planned Parenthood location):
- I will not obstruct the driveways or sidewalk while standing in the public right of way
- I will not litter on the public right of way
- I will closely attend to any children I bring to the prayer vigil
- I will not threaten, physically contact, or verbally abuse (abortion facility or Planned Parenthood) employees, volunteers, or customers
- I will not vandalize private property
- I will cooperate with local city authorities
If you are interested or have questions, please use the contact form on this blog.
Please feel free to pass this on to those who you know have a desire to stand for the innocent and who's hearts desire is to show compassion through prayer and fasting, relying on the Lord to move this mountain called abortion.
