Alex turned around and came down from Planned Parenthood’s door to speak to us in our broken Spanish. He was making an appointment for his girlfriend, but in the end he told us, "Maybe you changed my mind!" He decided to take her to the pregnancy center the next day and never went inside Planned Parenthood! After listening to us, a woman walking to the facility decided to keep walking past it! A woman, who found out she was pregnant right after learning that the man she was seeing was married, turned away from abortion! Despite terrible circumstances, she wants to love and protect her baby! Two different people parked at Planned Parenthood walked to the pregnancy center instead! A grandmother helped her granddaughter choose life for her baby as we prayed for them! A woman leaving the facility said she could not go through with it! She is so scared to have a third baby, but she knows God’s grace is there for her family! Praise the Lord for allowing us to see this fruit! Please pray for all these people!

A mom literally ran down to the sidewalk to take literature as she pointed out our abortion pill reversal sign to her boyfriend! A mother in tears told us, “I was going to have an abortion… They did an ultrasound today and said I miscarried my baby… I will never consider abortion Update on Mom L's twins
again.” We helped a mother who was so on the fence she scheduled appointments at both the Women’s Care Center and Planned Parenthood. Pray for Brian, a father who was forced to leave the facility as he tried to stop his girlfriend from killing their baby. We were able to work with the Women’s Care Center staff to help a new mother who choose life keep her apartment! We spoke to several young people about contraception and abstinence. A pregnant woman driving down the road saw our signs and was able to ask for help! Jamila, with tears in her eyes, took information from our volunteer Marcia to reverse the abortion pill she had just taken. These are just some of the 45 people considering abortion that took literature from us and the 11 mothers we gave reversal information to! With our long general update last sent, we did not get to share these stories from November and December!

A short story that is incredible in another way is about a young man we met walking down the sidewalk where we stand. He was a fallen-away Catholic, who had not been to Mass in 6 months and was considering being baptized Mormon. He went to confession and Mass with us that day, asked for rosary with tears in his eyes, and is now coming out on the sidewalk with us to pray! Praise be Jesus Christ! How the Holy Spirit works! Also, during our street evangelization at OSU we gave out rosaries, ministered to fallen-away Catholics, and got to give a meal to a homeless man named Derik who still has the rosary we gave him a year ago!

We also have the great privilege of conducting two trainings for Right to Life Michiana in Indiana for 18 people and delivering the keynote at Tiffin Right to Life’s annual banquet to 91 people!

Through the end of 2024, we recruited people to lead a total 804 sidewalk counseling efforts (resulting in ten-of-thousands of hours on the sidewalk), led 11 street evangelizations with a pro-life focus, saw 122 new volunteers from 10 new parishes, conducted 11 trainings for 266 participants, were interviewed 4 times, gave 517 people at the local facilities information on help, helped 40 mothers consider abortion pill reversal, had 23 post-abortive parents take information on the Gospel and healing ministry, witnessed 43 mothers turn-away, and know of 35 babies who were indeed spared from abortion (five of whom we were able to give assistance to- one of whom was the top photo)! Two of these mothers came back to the Church and are having their children baptized! Praise God! Without your gracious support, we would not be able to do this work the Lord has called us to and reach these souls!

2024 Support Update: We were $10,324 short for year-end donations of our $84,700 total annual budget (which includes our ministry expenses and two staff incomes). In our last update, we shared how we had just $97 more than we needed from December 2023-November 2024. Unfortunately, in December 2024, sixteen annual donors did not give, and we lost some monthly donors for the new year. We would be grateful for any support, especially monthly donations, that you could offer at this time. Maybe you could pass our apostolate on to another person who know would like to partner with us. We are looking for 17 people to donate an average of $50/month (or $600/year). Whether you are someone that could give $200/month, or $5,000 annually, or $10/month, or $50 annually, we can use your help! We know our heavenly Father provides, and we are beyond grateful for your generous partnership in our work!
