When Ruth Robert signed up to lead the first 40 Days for Life vigil in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she was warned she'd be persecuted.

"What are they going to do?" Ruth asked. "Kill me?"

The question wasn't rhetorical. Ruth grew up in Saudi Arabia, risking her life to practice her Christian faith. The prospect of social ostracization wasn't going to keep her from standing up for unborn children. 

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney and Ruth Robert discuss:

The fortitude required to live out the Christian faith amidst the threat of violent persecution

How she experienced culture shock of returning to the West where Christians can live out their faith...but choose not to

How God led Ruth to take on a 40 Days for Life campaign in a thoroughly secular city--and succeeded!
