40 Days of Prayer and Fasting - 40 Days of Constant Vigil - 40 Days of Community Outreach

EXCITING NEWS!!!!
40 DAYS FOR LIFE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR TO VISIT SEATTLE VIGIL SITE!!!!

David Bereit, the National Campaign Director of 40 Days for Life, will be speaking and praying at the Seattle Vigil Site this Wednesday, 10/1 at 8PM.  I know it’s last minute, but don’t miss out!  David is an excellent speaker, a motivated follower of Christ, the founder of 40 Days for Life, and a family man.  He and his family will join us in unity and love and witness at our vigil site, at the Planned Parenthood on 45th and 9th, for a memorable evening from 8 to 9PM.  I’ve attached his biography at bottom, but I know from personal experience that no bio could ever adequately describe this man.  I was attending Texas A&M in Fall 2004 when David led the first 40 Days for Life, and I also personally knew him and his family from our church.  And all I have to say is that he is convicted, his desire is intense, and his love is always present.  He is my brother in Christ and I’ll never let him forget how instrumental he has been in helping me experience the great need in our culture for a sincere and devout love of life.  His family will be joining him so it should be a blast!  He is also the person writing the daily devotional emails - if you don’t receive those and would like to then note that you can sign up for them on the national 40 Days website or read them on the national website’s blog.

Peace in Christ,

Chris Haag

DAVID BEREIT - BIOGRAPHY
40 Days for Life National Campaign Director
David became an outspoken pro-life advocate after Planned Parenthood announced plans to build an abortion clinic in his Texas town in 1998. He helped to start and build a local grassroots coalition that rallied 60 churches and thousands of people together and dramatically reduced abortions in the region. Planned Parenthood recognized the effectiveness of David’s efforts when it labeled his town “the most anti-choice place in the nation.” David led the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in College Station, Texas.

David moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 2005 where he served as executive director of American Life League and national director of Stop Planned Parenthood until being asked to lead the national 40 Days for Life campaign. His pro-life work has been featured in the media hundreds of times, including coverage on Fox News, HBO, ABC, NBC and CBS television stations, numerous radio programs, and in over 100 newspapers across the country including USA Today, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times.
