40 Days for Life
40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:

  * Prayer and fasting
  * Constant vigil
  * Community outreach

40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion in America. The following are links to the 40 days for life locations in Oregon.  Each of these links has contact information for the site coordinator:
