40 Days of Life--several important updates

One week from today -- Tuesday, August 7, at 9 PM Eastern (8 PM Central, 7
PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific) -- the doors open for your community to register
for the September 26 - November 4 nationwide 40 Days for Life campaign.

We have NO IDEA how many communities will join this history-making effort...


...But we're sure excited to see what God has in store for America this
fall!

To get a sense of the interest, take a second to look at the picture posted
at:

That's a picture of a map showing the communities that have requested
information about this fall's 40 Days for Life campaign.

We're completely in awe!

Things are happening at a very rapid pace now, so this e-mail covers a
number of updates (and also we want to thank you in advance for your
patience with the flurry of important information that we'll be sending you
over the next few days! :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.) EWTN SHOW ABOUT 40 DAYS FOR LIFE NOW ONLINE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On June 24, the EWTN Global Television Network aired a world premiere
30-minute documentary -- filmed by an Emmy-award winning producer -- about
40 Days for Life. The show earned rave reviews, and the network has just
announced that the next air date will be September 3, at 3:00 a.m. and
6:30 p.m. Eastern time.

To ensure that people could also see the show before registrations begin,
the entire video has now been posted online at:

Enjoy, and share this video with others!

2.) ADDITIONAL 40 DAYS FOR LIFE MEDIA COVERAGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

40 Days for Life is continuing to get quite a bit of media attention. Here
are a couple of articles from the last few days:

WorldNetDaily.com -- http://snipurl.com/1ox0b

3.) ANOTHER GREAT CASE STUDY: CHARLOTTE, NC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two courageous post-abortive women, Andrea Hines (Catholic) and Katherine
Hearn (Evangelical) -- regional coordinators for the Silent No More
Awareness campaign -- launched 40 Days for Life in Charlotte, North
Carolina, after only a few weeks of planning.

Their case study has just been posted online at:

http://www.40daysforlife.com/case_studies.cfm

In this interview, Andrea and Katherine discuss reaching out to different
churches, how they customized the vigil to fit their needs, the lives saved
in their city, and the healing experienced by other post-abortive women.

Also, all of the posted case studies now have written transcripts available
for you as well!

4.) LOCATIONS TOOL IN FINAL TESTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To help you connect with other people in your area who have expressed
interest in 40 Days for Life, we are about to release the new "location"
section of the 40daysforlife.com website.

To ensure that this tool works efficiently and effectively, our web
developers are running some final tests before making this resource
available to you -- hopefully as early as tomorrow!

5.) AUGUST 6: DAY OF PRAYER & FASTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To say that we've been overwhelmed by the enormous interest in the national
40 Day for Life campaign would be an understatement.

God is working in a mighty way!

Realizing that the success of this effort is 100% dependent upon our
Heavenly Father, the national coordinators of 40 Days for Life have decided
to dedicate Monday, August 6, as a day of focused prayer and fasting --
asking that God's will be done through this campaign.

We invite you to join this day of prayer and fasting, especially if you are
feeling called to participate in 40 Days for Life in any capacity.

Keep in mind that fasting could simply entail abstaining from television,
coffee, or email -- not only fasting from food!

Let's entrust this entire effort to God, and ask for His help in the coming
days.

In Christ,

David Bereit
