Bound4LIFE is a grassroots pro-life organization originating in the United States. The non-profit organization was founded in 2004 by Lou Engle and Brian Kim when both men and a group of mostly young people gathered for silent prayer in front of the United States Supreme Court in Washington, DC. The key identifying element of the movement is a piece of red tape with the word "LIFE" handwritten on it that is worn over the mouth during prayer gatherings. "Taping their mouths shut" is a voluntary way of promoting prayer as opposed to vocal protest. In this context, prayer is described as an appeal to God as the Judge of heaven and earth. A major goal of the organization is to train and multiply the number of Christians that pray regularly for the ending of abortion.
