SUMMARY:40 Days for Life national leaders bring message of 'the beginning of the end of abortion' to Fairview Heights\, IL
DESCRIPTION:Diaper drive for A Beacon of Light Pregnancy Help Center in Maryville also part of event\nApril Wood of the peaceful\, prayerful\, effective 40 Days for Life project\, will tell the story of this groundbreaking effort in Fairview Heights on Wednesday\, March 26\, Wood will speak at the Fairview Heights Midpoint Rally which is set for 4 p.m. at 331 Salem Place. \n“People in Fairview Heights have made extraordinary sacrifices to expose the abortion industry and to protect pre-born children and their mothers from abortion\,” Wood said. “We are honored to be able to join these folks in prayer. Their efforts illustrate why we’re seeing historic changes – more mothers choosing life\, more abortion workers experiencing conversions and leaving the abortion industry\, and more abortion centers closing their doors for good.” \n“We are tremendously pleased that April will be here to support our 40 Days for Life effort\,” said Molly King\, spokesperson for the local 40 Days for Life campaign in Fairview Heights. “She is an enthusiastic speaker\, and we know she will inspire.” Additionally\, we will hear from one of our local campaign leaders\, Kristi Hofferber\, who is the CEO of a local pregnancy resource center and a National Advocate and Pro-life Speaker. She will share her inspiring personal story of the value of EVERY life\, and the vital work or pregnancy resource centers. \nFairview Heights is one of 660 communities around the world conducting simultaneous 40 Days for Life campaigns from March 5\, 2025 to April 13\, 2025. \n40 Days for Life is an intensive campaign that focuses on 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion\, peaceful vigil at abortion facilities\, and grassroots educational outreach. Since 40 Days for Life began\, over 25\,000 mothers have chosen life for their children; over 260 abortion workers have quit their jobs; and over 150 abortion centers where 40 Days for Life vigils have been held have gone out of business.\nWood serves as Director of Litigation for the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law & Justice. She has practiced law for more than two decades\, including as an elected prosecutor in multiple locations\, a city attorney\, and a certified mediator. She has also run her own private practice. She has worked with grand juries and tried dozens of jury trials as well as countless other trials.  \n\nTo learn more about 40 Days for Life\, visit: www.40daysforlife.com.
