Gen Z is more pro-life than any previous generation at the same age...and you can see it on the sidewalks!

Behind the scenes, we've been working to bring more young people into this movement. And now they're following us online, listening to the podcast, and--most importantly--standing in prayer outside abortion facilities!

Newport News, Virginia

It’s not just Gen Z showing up on the sidewalk this fall. Gen Alpha is here too!

The Newport News campaign welcomed its youngest team member out to the vigil. She's five months old!

Elizabeth brought her baby to pray the 7:00 a.m. hour with Carolyn and Sharon. "What a joy and a special blessing it was to see this precious little girl during our prayer time," Carolyn wrote.

The littlest 40 Days for Life participant--undoubtedly a powerful witness to abortion-vulnerable mothers--did so well that she and her mom stayed to pray with the 8:00 a.m. group too!


Walnut Creek, California

Teens from the brand-new Chesterton Academy met with our general counsel, Matt Britton, who helped the students make critical distinctions on contentious questions regarding ectopic pregnancy and medical treatment for pregnant moms.

"He provided both clarity and context to the students so that they can become stronger and smarter in their pro-life convictions," wrote Jodie from the Walnut Creek team.

The first half of the campaign was highly successful, as at least one abortion-bound mom changed her mind.

A young couple entered the abortion facility but re-emerged just minutes later. "We're keeping our baby!" she exclaimed. "We're keeping our baby!"


Buffalo, New York

A young man in his 20s nodded at Vicky as he passed the Buffalo vigil.

Vicky delighted him by handing him a pocket card that lists local pregnancy, adoption, and post-abortion healing resources.

"This is great!" he said. "I'm going to post this on my social media page!” he told her.

"This young man can give hope to more women than I ever could!" Vicky reflected.

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?”

--John 6:9

Lord, you multiplied the meager offering of one boy to feed a hungry crowd. Please do the same with our humble prayers. Multiply the fruits of these 40 days. Use our own resources to glorify your name. Grant us the humility to know our limitations, the wisdom to turn to you in moments of distress, and the grace to carry out your will with trust and courage. Amen.
