40 DAYS FOR LIFE, ALBUQUERQUE FEBRUARY 22 - APRIL 1

Please join us at our:

Kickoff Rally and Spring Campaign
Where: Project Defending Life
625 San Mateo Blvd. NE
Albuquerque, NM

Kickoff Rally Tuesday, February 21, 2012 starting with Mass at 6pm and Prayer and speakers at 7pm.

Spring 2012 campaign starting February 22, 2012 and running thru April 1, 2012.
Schedule a time from 7 am thru 7 pm or you are welcome to come out anytime.

Come out and show everyone that Albuquerque is a wonderful place to LIVE, and we support LIFE from conception. Many women are not aware their baby is already alive and developing. Spend an hour and possibly save a life -- several women change their mind every campaign because they saw somebody praying that did care about LIFE.

Thank-you for all your time and prayers.

The Spring Campaign will be starting February 22, 2012, but you are welcome to come and pray anytime in front of Planned Parenthood to help save children.

YOU can help save lives!

Our community will be one of more then 300 cities in America, Canada, Australia, Northern Ireland and Denmark who will conduct simultaneous 40 Days for Life campaigns.

The 40 Days for Life campaign is an effort to bring people of faith together in prayer to end the loss of pre-born human life and to pray for the healing of those affected by abortion. It is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:

40 days of prayer and fasting
40 days of peaceful vigil
40 days of public witness

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Albuquerque -- and throughout America.

Take a stand for life

“Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds” -Proverbs 24:11-12

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion facility. The vigil is peaceful; participants agree to a "Code of Conduct" with a pledge that they will conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner. All people are welcome!

You can help make a life-saving impact by signing up for at least one one-hour block of time to join our local vigil at:

Planned Parenthood
701 San Mateo Blvd. NE
Albuquerque, NM
Any time daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Spring Campaign starting February 22, 2012

Every week lives are saved and hearts are changed because people like you stay involved in pro-life outreach. You've made a difference in the lives of many these past 40 days, don't let it stop there. Help us maintain a constant prayerful and peaceful presence at all 3 of Albuquerque's abortion clinics. Including the late term clinic that is drawing women from all over the country and another clinic that is training University of New Mexico medical students to be abortionists. Another opportunity is to volunteer at pregnancy centers doing ultrasounds, pregnancy tests and helping mom's become responsible; mom's who have taken the first step and chosen life. To learn more you can contact Bud and Tara Shaver at bud@defendinglife.org or (505) 319-7825 or call Project Defending Life at (505) 266-4100.

Would you like to be part of the Spring 2012 40 Days for Life Please

Again, we sincerely thank you for standing with us for these babies who are created in God's image and worthy of our time! We are encouraged by your faithfulness!

February Newsletter 2012: We hit the ground running in 2012!

“Doing everything for the glory of God”

Sanctity of Life Awareness and Unity Day (SOLAUD) 2012

Every year in the month of January Pro-Life groups host events all throughout the country. Here in New Mexico, Christians from all across the state come together to promote the sanctity of human life. This year Bud and I had the privilege of organizing a morning rally featuring praise and worship, speakers and testimonies of post abortive men and women. One of our dear friends Pastor Lamb shared his heart as one of our keynote speakers.

His message was centered around the simple injustice of abortion and the urgency to get involved to end abortion in America. After the morning rally an estimated 2500 people marched to the Santa Fe Capitol to meet Governor Martinez and other Legislators. We were very encouraged and hope that in the coming year more people will get involved and stay involved!

Here is Pastor Eric Lamb's Passionate Keynote address!


One Down...Three Left To Go!

Last month we uncovered that Bruce Ferguson was retiring at the end of December. He had been doing abortions for over 30years and his clinic was one of four Albuquerque abortion clinics. Well this month, we confirmed that he did in fact retire and shut down!

Opportunities to Share...

This month we were so blessed to have several opportunities to speak to different groups. We started the month off by speaking at the PDL Parenting Class on a Wednesday night. Then Tara was able to be on the radio to promote the Sanctity of Life event and to share about last years accomplishments. We also spoke to two separate church groups . These opportunities are so vital in getting the word out and educating the public. It is true that most people have no idea what is happening in their own backyards. Tara went up to Santa Fe with a coalition of pregnancy center volunteers to speak with legislators about the ministries of pregnancy centers as well as the parental notification bill we hope to see put into law here in NM. She also shared with legislators our latest press release. (You can read it here!)

Our Prayer Requests:

~For an end to abortion in New Mexico.
~For the conversion of every abortion doctor and clinic worker.
~For softened hearts of the women we speak to each day at abortion clinics.
~For the moms who have already chosen life and for the means to continue to serve them.
~For a continued grace filled and Christ centered ministry focus.
~For more opportunities to share the truth about abortion and it’s effects with the Christian community.
~For the Christian community to rise up out of apathy and a spiritual awakening.
~For more workers for this ripe harvest.
~For our safety in this spiritual battle.
