4 DIOCESAN & OTHER NEWS

SAVE THE DATE!— Arkansas Pregnancy Resource Center is excited to announce the Legacy of Life 2021 featured Speaker is Shawn

Carney! Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 28, 2021. So- cial Hour begins at 6:00 p.m. followed by Dinner & Presentation, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. You may join us in two ways! In-person at Em- bassy Suites in Little Rock or Virtually on YouTube. Shawn Carney began in the pro-life movement in college as a volunteer and after college was asked to be the Executive Director of the organization he volunteered for, the Coalition for Life which was made up of over 60 churches. Shawn’s passion for local pro-life ministry developed when he orchestrated the purchase and remodeling of a new office next door to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility to offer free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, and lov- ing support to women. In 2004, Shawn helped to lead the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in College Station, Texas. This breakthrough initiative – made up of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, the round-the-clock peaceful vigil outside a local abortion center, and grassroots door-to-door outreach – dropped local abortion numbers by 28%. Beginning in 2007, Shawn helped to expand 40 Days for Life as a national and then international movement. Today, 40 Days for Life has been done in 956 cities in all 50 states and 64 countries. His efforts have helped mobilize more than 1,000,000 pro-life volunteers. 40 Days for Life has confirmed reports of nearly 18,795 mothers choosing life and 221 abortion center workers who have has conversions and left their jobs, including former Planned Parenthood director, Abby Johnson who walked into Shawn’s office just next door to her abortion facility. Shawn and his wife are portrayed in the 2019 major motion picture, Unplanned, which tells the beautiful story of Abby Johnson’s conversion. From Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman, the writers/co- producers of God’s Not Dead, Unplanned brings an eye-opening but hopeful look inside the abortion industry. Shawn is a regular media spokesperson and his work has been featured on hundreds of media outlets including Fox News, The New York Times, The Laura Ingraham Show, BBC, The Glenn Beck Show, The Guardian, and USA Today, and Christian media, including The Christian Post, National Catholic Register, Salem Radio, Relevant Radio, EWTN Radio, and Focus on the Family. Shawn has also produced and hosted award-winning pro-life documentaries that have aired in 128 million homes via the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). Shawn loves helping pro-life groups receive they funding they need. He knows and understands firsthand the joys and challenges of running a local pro-life organization and of putting on a local fundraising banquet. As a speaker, consultant, and leader Shawn has helped pro-life and non-profit organizations raise over $78 MILLION for their missions. As an activist who is also an author, Shawn writes prolifically. He is the co-author of the Amazon Top Rated Christian book, 40 Days for Life (2013), and the host of the popular pro-life podcast, 40 Days for Life. Shawn's national bestseller, The Beginning of the End of Abortion (2018), was en- dorsed by Gov. Mike Huckabee, Bishop Thomas Olmsted, and Ruth Graham. To the Heart of the Matter: The 40 Day Companion to Live a Culture of Life (2020) became a national bestseller.
