(Life Site News<\/a>)\u00a040 Days for Life\u2019s current initiative has only been going on for a little over a month, yet the pro-life effort has already saved hundreds of unborn lives from abortion.<\/p>\n

Timed to coincide with Lent, the latest 40 Days campaign began on March 6 in 377 cities across the United States, United Kingdom, and 29 other countries around the world. Volunteers have been stationed outside abortion facilities for 12 hours a day to conduct prayer vigils and offer sidewalk counseling to women considering abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole point of this is to take a positive and upbeat pro-life message to the whole community,\u201d Robert Colquhoun, 40 Days\u2019 Director of International Campaigns, told LifeSiteNews<\/a> last month. \u201cIt is simple, and effective, because it works. Lives are saved, hearts and minds and changed and eternal souls are impacted. Abortion workers leave [their employment] and abortion centers close.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, 40 Days has received 446 confirmed reports of mothers choosing life for their babies, the group revealed Monday<\/a>. The post shared several examples of the fruits of their efforts.<\/p>\n

In Memphis, Tennessee, a man named Marcus who reluctantly accompanied his girlfriend to Planned Parenthood spoke with the sidewalk counselor, who promised help and convinced him to text her to leave the building before going through with the abortion. The couple left \u201csmiling\u201d and eager to go to a pregnancy center instead, and Marcus even participated in the prayer vigil.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Thanks in part to \u2018the little old man from the sidewalk,\u2019 Amy chose life for her baby<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Cincinnati, Ohio, a traffic delay kept a woman from leaving Planned Parenthood\u2019s parking lot long enough for a 40 Days volunteer to offer help, to which she revealed, \u201cI changed my mind. I didn\u2019t do it. It\u2019s a baby!\u201d<\/p>\n

Many other stories can be found on 40 Days\u2019 blog<\/a> and Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not every interaction has been positive. Late last month, an 85-year-old pro-life volunteer was shoved to the ground and repeatedly kicked<\/a>outside a San Francisco Planned Parenthood location. But the overall fruits of 40 Days\u2019 efforts have been encouraging, and 40 Days says it plans a live webcast on April 30 to recap volunteers\u2019 impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cFather, we have done battle with the power of evil, and therefore we can have compassion on those still within its grip,\u201d 40 Days for Life president Shawn Carney wrote. \u201cWe have been freed from the kingdom of darkness, and therefore we can bear witness to your Kingdom of Light. May the witness of all your people through these 40 Days for Life bear abundant fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, 40 Days for Life reported<\/a> that it has saved 14,000 since its campaigns first started in 2007.<\/p>\n
