We are a little over halfway through 2025, and what a year it has been. This year marks our tenth year of ministry, and we wanted to take a moment to celebrate what God has done since we first began in 2016, reflect on what has already happened in 2025, and look ahead at what is still to come.
When our founder Justin Reeder first stood outside the abortion center on Latrobe Drive in Charlotte, God burdened his heart with a simple but powerful vision. He believed the Church must be united and mobilized to create a culture of LOVE and LIFE. What started with just a small group praying has now grown into a nationwide movement.
One of the very first miracles we witnessed was the connection between Nicole and Shelly. We met Nicole in her time of crisis at the abortion center and connected her with Shelly, a mentor from a local church, right away. That simple act of obedience sparked a ripple effect. Today, hundreds of families have been connected to mentors in local churches because of your prayers and partnership.
Since 2016, we have seen:
- More than 1,500 churches and ministries join us through adoption weeks
- Nearly 250,000 believers gather in cities across the nation to stand for life at a Love Life prayer walk
- 94 abortion workers leave the industry through prayer and outreach
- More than 1,100 men and women respond to the Gospel and pray to confess Jesus as Lord
- And more than 6,700 families choose life for their babies
God has done so much since 2016, and He is not slowing down. Here is what we have seen in the first half of 2025.
- More than 13,000 believers have attended a prayer walk across the nation
- 486 babies have been saved from abortion
- 13 abortion workers have left the industry
- 127 people have made professions of faith in Jesus
- And countless stories continue to unfold as pastors are mobilized and lives are impacted by the Church being the Church
Looking ahead, we plan to launch at least three new Love Life cities before the end of the year. San Diego, Seattle, and Washington DC are all being prepared as new mission fields where we believe God will move powerfully through His Church.
In light of all this, we covet your prayers and support.
As we continue expanding into new territory, we also look forward to two powerful moments of national unity. On September 13, students and families will gather for Youth For Life prayer walks across the nation, where young people will unite in worship and intercession for families to choose life. Then on November 8, we will celebrate ten years of ministry with our Celebrate Life prayer walk, inviting all partnering churches to stand together once more.

We truly believe that the best is yet to come, and we are honored that you are on this journey with us. None of this would be possible without the Lord moving on the hearts of His people to give of their time, talent, and treasure.
