Our mission is to call to action pro-life individuals
for prayer and peaceful vigils
to end abortion.
We realize that many dedicated people from different churches hold vigils at several abortion facilities in the Chicagoland area. Our goal is to be the uniting umbrella beneath which we can organize our efforts at the clinics. We welcome people of all faiths in the Northwest suburbs (and beyond!) to work together to give women a real choice and babies a real chance.
We hold a peaceful prayer vigil every Friday in front of Advantage Health in Wood Dale or American Women's abortion clinic in Des Plaines.
We provide outreach and education to abortion bound women and men about pregnancy resource centers nearby so that women can make informed, healthy choices. The pregnancy Resource centers provide a safe place for us to bring women to receive real help with their pregnancy.
Avenue Women's Center, is 1 block west of Advantage in Wood Dale (132 E Irving Park Rd, Wood Dale, IL 60191)
The Women's Center is 8 min. south of American Women's in Des Plaines (2720 S River Rd # 234, Des Plaines, IL 60018)
Option Line is another great resource we point women to so that they can connect with the resources they need close to where they live. 800-712-4357 www.optionline.org
You can be a part of this meaningful endeavor in many ways:
1. Come stand witness on the sidewalk in front of Advantage or American Women's Abortion Clinic any Friday, or Saturday between 8:30 am and 11:00 am. We are especially in need of experienced sidewalk counselors for the early hours and prayer warriors for all hours. See below for what to expect at a prayer vigil at a clinic.
2. If you can’t make it out on a Friday, or Saturday join other area vigils. Please click here for a list or contact us. Remember the Lord says, “Be not afraid…for I am with you.” Jeremiah 42:11
3. Go to www.spiritualadoption.org and commit to praying daily for 9 months for a baby in a crisis pregnancy.
4. Spread the word! Encourage others to join us in prayer vigils. Get an announcement in your church bulletin. Invite us to talk at your youth group, Bible Study, Respect Life group, or other meeting.
5. JOIN NorthWest Families for Life by requesting to be on our email list and receive monthly updates filled with inspiration, news of babies saved at the clinic, and upcoming pro-life events.

What can I expect at a vigil?
- Someone there to greet you with a smile!
- Life affirming signs. We do not use graphic signs during our prayer vigils.
- A vigil kit filled with prayer materials, umbrellas, blankets, and more.
- Time to spend in quiet prayer alongside others with a shared purpose.
- You will NOT be expected to counsel or interact with abortion-bound women. However, if you are interested in becoming a sidewalk counselor, training is available.
- You will NOT be expected to march or chant slogans. But if you’d like to sing songs, God loves a joyful noise!
