Share this updated version of our latest video with your friends to spread the word about the coming 40 Days for Life campaign! This would be a great video to show your church on a Sunday morning to help the congregation catch the vision for 40 Days for Life.
The current 40 Days for Life campaign has officially ended, but the families of babies who were saved during 40 Days for Life remain in need of help. So on Wednesday, April 28, a combined baby shower will be held to help four of these babies and their families.
Two of the babies are expected to be girls and two of the babies are expected to be boys, so baby items of either gender would be appreciated. You do not need to feel obligated to bring more than one present to the shower, as a drawing will be used to distribute baby gifts among the families present at the shower.

On the final day of the Spring 2010 40 Days for Life campaign, hundreds of people gathered to pray outside Bakersfield’s abortion center and to celebrate what God had accomplished during the past 40 days.
The evening began with a delicious barbecue meal hosted by Tomis Solis and the OLPH Knights of Columbus. Music was provided throughout the evening by Lamar Hagan and the Saulo de Tarzo group, along with others. Inspiring words were provided by pastors and other speakers.

The Spring 2010 campaign of 40 Days for Life is now history, but the impact of the campaign continues. Women who suffered from botched abortions during this campaign have recently contacted us in addition to an employee of the abortion chamber who quit after seeing the broken body of a 16 week aborted baby. These situations have already resulted in the lives of several more babies being saved in the past few weeks.
Here are some additional testimonies from the 40 Days for Life Spring 2010 journal:
During last fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign, a young woman’s abortion plans changed when she encountered Christians who minister outside the Bakersfield abortion center. Later, she discovered that she was carrying identical twin baby girls.
Last Saturday, a group of women from McKee Road Baptist Church hosted a baby shower for the twin girls, who are due to be born in June. During the shower, the young woman’s mother expressed appreciation to the Christians for intervening to save the lives of her granddaughters.
This morning, another set of twins was saved! As Joel Torczon prayed along the sidewalks during his usual vigil time, he noticed two women becoming emotional in the abortion center’s parking lot. “I pretended not to notice,” Joel later explained, “but then they called to me.” Torczon lives with a hearing loss which makes it impossible for him to understand someone unless he is looking at them, so he didn’t know what the women were telling him, but he noticed that the first woman held up two fingers. “I looked away,” Joel said, “thinking they were mocking me or something.” Read the rest of this entry »
Our 40 Days for Life Closing Celebration will begin on Sunday March 28 at 4 pm at 25th and H Streets. It has become a tradition for us to close our 40 Days for Life campaigns by sharing a huge meal together along with music and fun activities for children (including a bounce house). At 8 pm we will surround the abortion chamber in prayer during a candlelight vigil. Please spread the word to your friends (even if they have not participated in 40 Days for Life). If your church has video capabilities, please see if they will use our promotional video at Sunday’s services!
If you were with us during our previous 40 Days for Life campaigns, you already know what to expect. Read the rest of this entry »
The impact of this 40 Days for Life campaign will continue for many years to come, as this campaign becomes part of the life story of the families of the children who are being saved. During this campaign, several people have already stopped by to thank those participating in 40 Days for Life for their children who were saved, according to recent entries in the journal at the vigil site.
While the focal point of the Bakersfield 40 Days for Life campaign is the local abortion center (at 25th and H streets in downtown Bakersfield), this campaign seeks to encourage people in every neighborhood to “pray to end abortion.”
Hundreds of yard signs have already been distributed, so hopefully you have already begun to see the “Pray to End Abortion” message around town. You can expect to see more signs soon, thanks to Rick Garland, who is once again heading up the local 40 Days for Life community outreach campaign.
Rick is hitting the streets on Wednesday mornings, determined to “help this generation catch the vision for life!” Read the rest of this entry »
