It has been an honour to meet face-to-face with so many dedicated champions for LIFE across our very big country! Over the past few weeks, I have connected with donors, supporters, prayer warriors, founders and faithful workers—all helping LIFE flourish in Canada.
We began in Calgary, meeting with pastors who share our concern: how do we SPEAK LIFE to this generation? In Lethbridge, we joined one of this community’s two LifeChains—a reflection of how active they are! Just outside the city, we visited a monument remembering children lost to abortion. It is a beautiful place for mothers and fathers to remember their babies and find healing. They will not be forgotten.
At Taber Prolife, we learned about their outreach through film nights, trailer signs, youth events and at the annual Corn Fest. We also enjoyed deepening our relationships with donors in Taber, Drumheller and Edmonton.
In Edmonton, we shared ways to encourage long-serving LIFE champions and invigorate their outreach. Our host was ALIES’s (Alberta Life Issues Educational Society) The Back Door, a ministry helping women choose LIFE. Its strong relationship with Edmonton Prolife shows how much more we can accomplish together! In Drayton Valley we met with more active Canadians working and open for more!
I could write so much more about these uplifting conversations. Seeds are being planted in rich ground, with the promise of good things to grow for LIFE.
My greatest takeaway? We are MORE. Your small group or church community may feel stretched, but you are part of something much bigger. As we’ve heard along the way, “We are more than we think we are.” We need to act as though we believe it!
A crowning experience was the Called Conference: Anchored and Unafraid in Guelph. More than 100 women serving in ministries around the world gathered to encourage and pray for one another. What a privilege to meet these warriors for LIFE, each bringing LIFE and hope to children, families and communities.
We ARE more than we think we are. Together, we can reach those who need someone to say: there is another way to live—a way that brings LIFE and JOY to you, your family and your community.
