40 Days for Life is a uniquely effective pro-life ministry.  It began in College Station (credit where due to the Aggies...gig 'em) in 2007 and since gone global.  Among its accomplishments:

Over 579 cities in all 50 states and have conducted a 40 day prayer vigil at the local abortion facility

At least 30 different countries have conducted a 40 day prayer vigil including: England, Northern Ireland, Brazil, Peru, Canada, Australia, Denmark, and Spain

Over 10,330 women haven chosen life for children they were going to abort – because of the peaceful presence of people in front of the abortion facilities

at least 118 workers in abortion facilities have had conversions and quit their jobs

at least 60 abortion facilities have closed their doors and shut down for good

Thousands upon thousands of men and women with abortions in their past have finally found healing

They've also seen miracles locally:
