WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- This January, a coalition of pro-life and pro-family organizations will hold "The New Hampshire Awakening: Building a Culture of Life at the New Hampshire Presidential Primary."

The New Hampshire Awakening will take place from January 5 through January 8, 2008.  The project will include rallies featuring nationally known speakers and musicians, worship gatherings, a life chain and prayer vigil in downtown Manchester, public pro-life witness and activism surrounding the Primary and a prayer vigil in front of Planned Parenthood.

National and local organizers feel it is imperative that voice of the innocent children that have been brutalized through abortion, be heard loud and clear at the start of the Presidential Primary season.

Shannon McGinley, a New Hampshire pro-life/pro-family leader and event organizer comments, "The eyes of the nation and the world will be on New Hampshire when the nation's first Presidential Primary is held January 8, 2008.  In light of that, it is critical for the Christian community to seize this historic opportunity and publicly share the pro-life and faith message.  The New Hampshire Awakening will ensure the voice of the children will be heard during the primary season."
