“I shall deliver you from this people and from the Gentiles to whom I send you, to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may obtain forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been consecrated by faith in me.” Acts 26: 17-18 These were some of Jesus’ words to St. Paul as he was traveling to Damascus that brought him to complete conversion. These same words echo with us today as we pray on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood – “…open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light…”

40 Days for Life – Madison starts Wednesday, Sept. 28 and ends on Sunday, Nov. 6th. We are in need of the following to keep our campaign alive!
Vigil Captains – Ideally, we need 14 so each Vigil Captain will only need to fill 12 hours every week.
Job Description: Watch the vigil calendar throughout the week leading up to your chosen one day of the week to ensure that each hour is covered. By the night before the start of your day, the hours must be filled. If they are not, you must call volunteers that might be able to fill the hours. If you cannot fill the hours, despite making numerous phone calls during the appropriate phone hours, you can call
someone on the emergency prayer warrior list. If you still cannot fill the hour, you must contact the vigil coordinator who will be watching the schedule as your backup.
Volunteer Callers – We’d like calls to start the week of July 25th.
Job Description: You will personally invite past participants to join 40 Days for Life again this fall by calling them on the phone to encourage and to remind them to sign up.
Events Team
Job Description: You will plan the kick-off, mid-point and closing events with the 40 Days for Life campaign coordinator. While the vigil itself is the bread and butter of 40 Days for Life, events are
important opportunities for bringing in new people and building up vigil participants.
Outreach Team
Job Description: The outreach team will promote 40 Days for Life outside of the current participants and current churches involved. This would include reaching out to pro-life or Christian organizations
for participation.

volunteers. To volunteer – please respond via e-mail to

Lord Jesus, You are the Conquerer of sin and death; the Savior of the World; the Way, the Truth and the Light and the only Prince of Peace.
Please forgive us for the times that we have failed to be a light in the darkness and to witness to your Gospel of Life.
We praise and thank you for calling us to witness for life on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood in Madison.
We pray that you will use our witness “to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light” for the greater glory of God.
We ask this in your Holy Name – Jesus.
Amen.
