Because of supporters like you, in 2023 Love Life was able to be present at 44 abortion centers across the nation with over 1000 partnering Churches and 306 House of Refuge Churches poised and equipped to help the moms that chose life. A watershed moment occurred in 2023 when we saw the 5,000th baby saved from abortion. Let that number sink in. 5,000 babies who were scheduled to die with the permission of their own
“I was overwhelmed and then my pastor spoke about abortion…and I knew God was speaking to me.” Alexis* had received our Love Life Hope is Here pamphlet when she came to Charlotte to abort. She left, choosing life, but initially told no one. She knew she needed help, so she called the number on the back of the brochure and was connected to a Love Life volunteer. As she shared her story with the volunteer,
“You could be arrested for speaking from the pulpit about help for women choosing life rather than abortion?” I asked. “Yes, it is possible,” Pastor Jeff Thompson replied, “But it doesn’t matter. We will do it anyway.” Pastor Jeff Thompson is an Assistant Pastor at Riverside Calvary Chapel in Langley, Canada. They were the first Love Life House of Refuge Church in Canada. Mobilizing his congregation to help women prevent or heal from abortion is
Because of your investment in Love Life, we were able to send our National Sidewalk Training director, Vicky Kaseorg, for a full week to encourage and equip several Southern California sidewalk outreach teams. Vicky visited 5 different abortion centers and worked with about 9 different sidewalk outreach teams. The week culminated in a 3 ½ hour classroom session, with all the teams gathered together to role-play common scenarios they will face on the sidewalk. During
Helping churches effectively address abortion in a redemptive manner contributes significantly to creating a culture of Love and Life. Sadly, the destruction of abortion has reached so deep into our world that many women and men, even in the church, have been ravaged by it. Many have yet to receive healing. But you’re helping raise up warriors like Stephanie Reinhart who leads Restored Life, our abortion recovery ministry. Stephanie not only connects women and men with
You’ve likely heard these common phrases. “Love them both”, “Pro-Woman, Pro-Life”, “Abortion Hurts Women”, these are typical statements that you’ll hear at most pro-life events. These statements aren’t wrong, but something is glaringly absent from these common pro-life slogans. What is missing? Have we forgotten someone? For every child, there is a mother AND a father. Whether the father has taken responsibility for his child or not, he is still an important part of the
“D” was facing an unplanned pregnancy, and her boyfriend was threatening to kick her out if she didn’t abort. Thankfully, the appeals from our Sidewalk Outreach team reached her ears, and she chose life. But this is just the beginning of her story. Without a job or a vehicle to get to work, on top of no longer having a place to live, “D” needed significant help. She was immediately connected with a mentor from
The abortion crisis is a behemoth, an evil so large and so pervasive in our culture that we can feel like grasshoppers facing a giant. It’s tempting to be discouraged and wonder, “What can one person like me do to affect change?” Austin Dockrey, a high school senior, faced that question head-on after attending an apologetics class on abortion led by our Love Life Northeast Regional Director, Bo Linam. Like many, Austin always claimed to
Albuquerque is a new Love Life City, with a new city director, Ethel Maharg, ready and eager to bring a culture of love and life to her city. Love Life Albuquerque officially launched in September of this year. New Mexico has a reputation of being an abortion destination with no restrictions on abortion. It is a hard ground to plow for those seeking to sow seeds and influence women to choose life. Bud and Tara
“And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer tokeep them securely. Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastenedtheir feet in the stocks. But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and theprisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations ofthe prison were shaken; and immediately all the
Angel Velarde, Love Life Boise Sidewalk Director, and his wife Qiana have a huge heart for helping those who are marginalized and struggling. When he learned about Love Life and the work they were doing to mobilize and unite the church in addressing the orphan and abortion crisis, he knew he was being called to serve with them. He had always desired to be the tangible hands and feet of Jesus to help vulnerable people
Some days are worse than others. Saturdays are always a bit of a circus. There are usually 10 to 20 people supporting abortion. They’re loud, they are aggressive, and they do their best to distract and discourage us. They lie about us to the women coming into the Abortion Center. It is rare to know whether there was a saved baby on a Saturday or not. It is hard not to focus on how awful they
