“We’re not big names, we’re ordinary people, and if God could help us face difficult decisions and give us strength to get through them, then He could definitely do the same for you,” David Sanchez, director of Ethics and Justice at the Christian Life Commission (CLC), said as he gave his testimony during the 2021 Celebration of Life Worship Service. The service was hosted by the CLC on Jan. 23 at Meadowridge Baptist Church in Fort Worth, where it was also streamed live on Facebook and YouTube. The service was held as a way to affirm those who choose life when the choice is not easy, accept those who are grieving
over past choices and applaud those involved in foster care and adoption. This holistic point of view focused not just on preventing abortion, but healing those who have experienced it and promoting adoption and foster care.
Affirming those who choose life Katie Frugé, associate CLC director and director of Hunger and Care Ministries, shared her testimony with her daughter, Eve. Frugé spoke about the complications that came with her pregnancy with Eve, sharing that the doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy since it was considered very high-risk for both her and Eve. Ultimately, Frugé decided to continue the pregnancy, trusting in the Lord to provide no matter what happened.
