How did you come to the Lord and to care so deeply about the issue of abortion? I was raised in a Christian home in Newport News, VA. My parents are lovely people who love the Lord and raised my sister and me to follow Jesus. My faith became my own when I was a Junior at Meredith College. I began to attend the college group at Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC. My faith grew
Abby Rock City Director Roanoke Virginia Abby is the brand new City Director for Roanoke, just getting started and learning with the help of Jena Woomer, who is leaving the role with the upcoming birth of her first baby. Love Life is greatly indebted to Jena for her amazing work in Roanoke, and looking forward to Abby’s leadership.

An amazing story of the Love Life network working together to save a baby’s life transpired last week. Our team was faithfully serving on the sidewalk when a Hispanic couple who was very conflicted agreed to go on the mobile ultrasound unit parked in front of the abortion center. This unit is sent by HELP Pregnancy Center, who partners with Love Life. The woman spoke no English. Praise God, a friend of the ministry happened
“Around this time last year, I thought my story would be so different. My name is Jennifer, and I have 3 children, ages 13, 10, and 8 months. In December, I celebrated 3 years clean from drugs and alcohol. However, in July of 2021, after attempting to fill the God-sized hole in my life with a man, it led to an unplanned pregnancy. When I saw those 2 pink lines, I felt the Lord speak
“Thanks to God and u for helping me open my eyes. I think God was telling me not to go in there. I felt like a voice inside of me (through you) was telling me that abortion was not the best choice.” This was quoted from a letter I recently received from a mom who is due in a few weeks. She has a very large family and had come to the abortion center when
A woman called me, just as we were about to sit down and eat dinner. I signaled to my husband who knows the drill as soon as I said, “tell me what’s going on?” He knew this was an abortion determined woman, and she was calling asking for help. He put our dinners under a cover. She told me she had left the abortion center and she is a mess. She said she just could
One of the men on our Wednesday sidewalk team was all alone on the sidewalk when a woman was about to pull into the abortion center. The women outreach members were all caught in traffic and had not yet arrived. Scott was there alone. “Hey,” he called out to the woman, “You do not have to do this. We are here offering hope and help.” That was all it took for the woman to pull
This morning at the abortion center a car pulled over for our sidewalk outreach team. I thought it was a mother who had possibly chosen life, but she said, no, she worked at the clinic. She told me she just quit. My teammate and I erupted with joy and asked her to pull to the curb so we could talk with her and offer her help. Her story poured out of her. She had been
A woman who chose life three years ago in Charlotte contacted me. She was in tears. She rarely asked Love Life for anything, but she was desperate. She was struggling to get by, doing her best to work, provide for herself and her now 3-year-old child, and remain obedient to God. She currently lives in one of the poorest areas in the nation. Nonetheless, she was working and (barely) making ends meet. When we met
Recently, Charlotte was able to add a Monday afternoon sidewalk outreach team. Tom and his wife Mitch have already seen saved babies as a result of being there in the afternoon. Mitch was going through a rather hard time this past Monday, as she has a friend who has been diagnosed with a very serious cancer. The friend called Mitch while she was on the sidewalk. Mitch tells the story below of what happened as
Sometimes we are hesitant to do what God has called us to do because of the intensity of the opposition. I know of pastors who will not speak against abortion from the pulpit because they fear the backlash of those in their congregation who have experienced abortion in their past. I understand the desire to speak the gospel without calling out specific sin. However, part of the mission of Love Life is to encourage and
We have so much to be thankful for as we look back on 2022. Love Life began in 2016, and each year, our outreach expands. More cities are becoming equipped to deal with the abortion holocaust, more churches are arising as Houses of Refuge, more Christians are praying and becoming volunteers as sidewalk outreach teams, mentors, foster parents, donors, and prayer supporters. More pastors are speaking from the pulpit about the truth of the sin
