The spring 40 Days for Life vigil will begin in less than a week.

40 Days for Life in Little Rock is launching the prayer campaign with a free showing of the movie Unplanned at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church in Little Rock.

The movie depicts the beginning of 40 Days for Life in Bryan, Texas and the true story of the abortion clinic next door.

This movie is not for young children due to the intense subject matter of abortion.

Father Paul Worm of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church and Pastor Dave Hughey of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church will be praying at this event.

Social distancing and mask wearing will be practiced.

The event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP by emailing 40daysforlifelittlerock@gmail.com.

40 Days for Life is not a rally or protest. It’s a peaceful assembly for prayer and reflection — and it works.

Every year we hear stories from other states of abortion clinics shut down and abortion workers coming to Christ in the wake of a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign. We want Arkansas to be next.

In the past, 40 Days for Life has said that the “no-show” rate for abortion appointments can go to as high as 75% when someone prays in front of an abortion facility.

Something as simple as praying outside an abortion facility can make a huge difference.
