40 Days for Life Update: “Double your life-saving impact!”

November 19, 2011 | 40 Days for Life

(Shawn Carney) - On Monday night’s Breakthrough webcast, we announced the results of this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign:

* Over 135,000 participants from 4,000+ churches

* 301 cities across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Germany, England and Spain

* 8 abortion workers quit their jobs

* 300+ news stories (including Fred Barnes’ excellent front page story in last week’s “Weekly Standard,” see: http://goo.gl/Jf4Bj )

* And 732 babies were spared from abortion during this fall’s campaign, bringing the cumulative total of lives saved to more than 5,000 since 40 Days for Life began four years ago (5,045 to be precise!)

As much as your prayers and efforts have accomplished, there is still much more work to be done … and today, you can DOUBLE the impact of this work!

A few generous donors (who wish to remain anonymous) put forward a matching challenge that will DOUBLE any gifts given to 40 Days for Life before midnight next Tuesday, November 22 — up to $101,200!!

40 Days for Life only ask for funds twice a year so we can focus on this work and not fundraising. So we don’t want you to miss this opportunity to double your gift.

We’re more than halfway through the week-long matching period, and thus far, we’ve received one-time gifts and monthly pledges amounting to $58,600 — a great start, but only a bit more than half.

We certainly don’t want to miss out on the amazing generosity of the donors who put forward this challenge by not hitting the match!

REMEMBER: Every gift given to 40 Days for Life between now and midnight next Tuesday, November 22 — up to the $101,200 amount — will be instantly DOUBLED!

The annualized amount of every monthly pledge (multiply the monthly amount by 12) made between now and midnight next Tuesday, November 22 will also be DOUBLED!

Make a tax-deductible MONTHLY PLEDGE now: http://40daysforlife.com/donate.cfm?selected=monthly

And if you itemize on your taxes, 40 Days for Life is a 501c3 non-profit, and your contribution DOES qualify for a deduction.

Please help TODAY, if at all possible — and thank you to everyone who has given already.

The best is yet to come!

For Life,
