Now … here’s the incredible news!
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Faithful, determined people in Las Cruces, New Mexico have started praying early … and those prayers are having a major impact!
A new abortion center was scheduled to open in Las Cruces, New Mexico on Monday of last week. But after much effort … a newly-organized 40 Days for Life team responded … and the abortion business did not open!
When Texas laws forced abortion businesses to close, a chain that ran a facility in El Paso thought they could outsmart the strict new safety regulations by setting up shop in adjacent New Mexico.
As word started to spread, Christians in Las Cruces quickly contacted 40 Days for Life leaders in El Paso … and the 40 Days for Life headquarters team. Their message was simple:
“We must hold a 40 Days for Life vigil in Las Cruces!”
When they learned the abortion business would open on September 15, they knew they couldn’t wait until September 24 to start praying. They held a rally the night before the planned opening … and started a vigil the next day.

“The kickoff on Sunday evening had a turnout of well over 200 people, many of whom had just learned about both 40 Days for Life as well as the proposed abortion facility that morning at their church services,” said Mark in Las Cruces. “We have had an excellent response from people signing up for the prayer vigil, overwhelmingly positive response from the community, and multiple favorable media stories.”
The next morning, volunteers were there to pray that Las Cruces would remain abortion-free.
And the abortion center’s “grand opening”?
Not so grand. It never happened!!!
“They have delayed their opening without comment due to sudden ‘logistical issues,'” Mark said. “We are still there praying every day from 6 am to 10 pm that their ‘logistical issues’ are permanent.”
Las Cruces will be joined in prayer by volunteers in 296 other cities around the world for 40 Days for Life … from Wednesday, September 24 to Sunday, November 2.

There’s a sense of urgency in Las Cruces that we all need … as the abortion industry’s presence in far too many local communities results in the deaths of countless numbers of innocent human beings.
Lives are at risk today. Pray for courage … and pray with urgency. Your prayerful presence outside the abortion center is needed … because the need for Christ’s love and mercy is urgent.
If the news from Las Cruces is any indication of what’s to come … I can’t wait for this campaign to start!
