I pray this message finds you and your family doing well.
I had the incredible privilege of attending the 40 Days for Life Leadership Symposium in Phoenix, Arizona, and I returned home with a heart overflowing with hope.
Leaders from across the United States—and even from Hawaii, Canada, and beyond—gathered together with one common purpose: to pray, encourage one another, and continue building a culture where every mother, father, and child is loved and supported.
As I listened to story after story, I was reminded that God is moving in extraordinary ways. Lives are being saved. Families are being restored. Hearts are being softened. Across the country, faithful people are standing together—not with anger or division—but with prayer, compassion, and hope.
One message echoed throughout the entire symposium: Prayer changes things.
When God's people come together in unity, incredible things happen.
That is why I want to personally invite you to join us for our upcoming Community Prayer Rally for Life.
📅 Saturday, July 25
🕣 8:30–10:30 AM
📍 4425 E. Lohman Blvd.
Las Cruces, New Mexico
This is not a protest.
It is a peaceful gathering of people from throughout our community who believe in the power of prayer. Together, we will pray for women facing unexpected pregnancies, for families, for healthcare professionals, for our elected leaders, and for every precious life.
Recently, we learned that some groups are planning to organize a counter-demonstration during our prayer rally. While that may seem surprising given the peaceful nature of our gathering, it serves as a powerful reminder that prayer matters.
Throughout Scripture, we see that unity in prayer has always been powerful. It changes hearts, strengthens communities, and brings hope into difficult places. Rather than discouraging us, this news only strengthens our resolve to gather peacefully and faithfully before the Lord.
Now, more than ever, our community needs people willing to stand together in love, grace, and prayer.
Whether you can stay for ten minutes or the entire morning, your presence matters.
Bring your spouse.
Bring your children and grandchildren.
Invite a friend.
Together, we will pray for our city, for our state, and for every family searching for hope.
Thank you for your faithful prayers, your generosity, and your unwavering commitment to building a culture where every life is welcomed, loved, and supported. None of this would be possible without you.
I hope to see you on July 25.
For Life,
Jessica Sifuentes
