Starting in two weeks, Jacksonville begins another 40 Days for Life Campaign!  40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigils to end abortion.

Beginning on September 25 and running through November 3, willing pro-life Christians will have an opportunity to sign up for an hour-long vigil outside the new, proposed Planned Parenthood location on Powers Avenue.  Click HERE to sign up for a time slot.

On Saturday, September 28, Christians throughout the city will participate in a Jericho March around the new, proposed Planned Parenthood location, marching on public sidewalks around the Planned Parenthood building at 5978 Powers Avenue (Click HERE for a map) six times offering prayer and praise to God Almighty, and pleading for an end to abortion in Jacksonville. On the seventh time we will shout with the victory that God is answering our prayers. We will start the March with an 8′ Cross of the Unborn, the Ten Commandments, the American Flag and the Christian Flag. This will be followed by the Pastors and church leaders from all different denominations.

This is always an amazing event! After the first Jericho March 3 ½ years ago, the Planned Parenthood location on Beach Blvd stopped doing abortions. The day of the second Jericho March, 5 babies were saved. Last fall, we held a Jericho March around the empty Planned Parenthood building, and, to this day, it remains UNOCCUPIED!  Also, since the first Jericho March in 2009, abortions have dropped to a 10 year low of 6,547.

If you are able to attend, please RSVP on the Jericho March Event Page on Church of the Messiah’s Facebook Page or by contacting Lizz Looker directly.
