To Advocate for Life

For Christian leaders: Equipping pastors, ministry directors, elders, lay leaders who faithfully disciple and lead their churches in praying and working together for life.

Encouraging the church to advocate for life: Chicagoland alone has nearly 30,000 abortions a year. We are surrounded by women and men in our churches, neighborhoods and communities who have been affected by abortion. They need to hear the hope that is in Jesus Christ and to see Christians serving them with practical deeds of love when they feel they have nowhere to turn.

The Need for Discipleship: A Lifeway research study found that more than four in ten women who have had an abortion were churchgoers when they ended a pregnancy and seven out of ten (70%) women who have had an abortion indicate their religious preference is Christian. This is consistent with the women Caring Network sees.

Peaceful Prayer for Changed Hearts

Saturday, February 4, 1-2 p.m. Join the Sanctity of Human Life Task Force at 40 Days for Life’s year-round peaceful prayer vigil. Meet on Waterleaf pregnancy resource center’s property across from the driveway of Planned Parenthood Aurora.
