Allow me to highlight two organizations for the good work they are doing for LIFE.
Here in Atlantic Canada, we have been blessed to work with Inspire.FM, a radio station with a wonderful gift for connecting people. Tomorrow, on October 20 in Moncton, NB, they are hosting the first Ministry Excellence Awards Banquet, celebrating LIFE-affirming ministries making a difference in our region. (Tickets are still available if you have time!)
We are honoured that LifeCanada/PEI LIFE is being recognized in two areas! Our Minute4LIFE radio spots are nominated in the Originals category, and our Resources4LIFE – You Are Worth It! is a top contender for the $25,000 Jeff Lutes Memorial Award. Check out all the great nominees.
Whether we receive an award or not, I love what this event displays: LIFE-affirming organizations coming together, encouraging one another and discovering the good work happening right here in Atlantic Canada. We are building each other up! We get to know them, and they get to know us! This is how it should be!
There is another excellent resource I encourage you to watch. Faytene Grasseschi of 4 My Canada Association has produced Just The Facts | Did Canada Commit Suicide by Abortion? Birth Rate Dips Below Extinction Rate. It examines abortion in relation to Canada’s declining birth rate and considers its long-term demographic, social and economic consequences.
Our conversations matter. YOUR conversations matter. Abortion affects more than the child whose LIFE is lost. Its effects touch women, men, relationships, families and ultimately, every facet of society. Babies actually matter! Consequently, because of this overt disregard for LIFE, we also see profound questions about human dignity arising at the other end of LIFE through euthanasia and MAiD.
That is why events like the Ministry Excellence Awards are crucial. Against messages of despair, we bear witness to something different: hope, dignity, community and LIFE.
So SPEAK LIFE, my friends. Be courageous in reminding others that every generation benefits when we welcome, protect and honour every human LIFE.
Choose LIFE—today and for the generations to come.
Please continue to support our work for LIFE so that everyone can benefit from the good we are all doing!
