This past Friday, we met a local Pensacola teenager, a high school freshman on fire for life.  She is part of a group of nine high school students from around the country, known as the Teenage Life Club. Their goal is to send over 1 million letters to the White House and Supreme Court.
Please join us in support of this campaign. It is wonderful to see such zeal for life in our youth.

Over 1 million abortions every year in USA alone

Over 1 million letters of opposition will be sent to the government

The Teenage Life Club is hosting The 2012 Pro-Life Letter Campaign, and we need your help, participation, and prayer. We are a small, national group of seven teenage girls in six different states. Our goal is to have 1 million letters sent to the White House and the Supreme Court.

Why are we doing this and why should you participate? Abortion has been in this country long enough, and The Teenage Life Club has decided to help bring it to an end. 1 million letters won’t stop abortion, but it will make an impact in the pro-life movement. As elections approach, we want to remind this nation that abortion is still present. It is deadly, it is wrong, and we still care.

We need pro-life senators and Supreme Court justices, as well as an actively pro-life president. This campaign will remind people to vote for the pro-life candidates. It will also open an opportunity for people with pro-life views to become active and to make an impact.

Addresses:

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW

Washington, DC 20500

Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street N.E.
Washington, DC 20543

What can you write in a letter? You can write anything that is pro-life. Basically, just ask the government to bring abortion to an end. Show them that you care. There is a Form Letter written by the president of The Teenage Life Club that you can find here: www.theteenagelifeclub.blogspot.com.

Who can write a letter? Anyone of any age living anywhere, and also you can send as many letters as you want. Just make sure that you let us know by taking this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3N57QY5.

How can you help beyond just writing letters? Forward this email to all your friends and family. Ask your pastor to encourage his congregation to participate. Pray. Join our Facebook movement. If you’re interested in participating further than contact us at theteenagelifeclub@att.net

I hope you can see the importance and urgency behind this campaign. It is time for abortion to stop, and it is time for every pro-life person to stand up together and fight against this injustice. Thank you and may God bring justice to the United States of America and to the world.

Sincerely,   Ashlyn, Member of the Teenage Life Club

In response to the recent arson committed at the American Family Planning abortion facility, the Emerald Coast Coalition for Life and 40 Days for Life Pensacola ministries feel it is important to make it very clear that the arsonist arrested is not and never has been part of these pro-life ministries.  His actions were completely contrary to the core values enveloped in our manifesto.  Any violence or destruction of property, is never, nor will ever, be tolerated.  In this light, we stand in solidarity with the entire Pensacola community and denounce all acts of violence, including the nearly two thousand children who die from abortion in Pensacola each year.

The 40 Days for Life and Emerald Coast Coalition for Life ministries bring Christ-centered hope, healing, and mercy to the sidewalks in front of Pensacola’s abortion facility.  We pray, fast, and stand in peaceful vigil for the conversion of the abortionist, the abortion facility staff, the mothers, the fathers, children scheduled to die, and for the healing of post abortive mothers and fathers.  We do not protest.  Protesting never creates the opportunity to bring the love of Christ to anyone.  We pray and when we speak, we speak only in love.  We see each person, including the abortionist, as a person that needs the love of God and our goal is to bring His love to a place where God is so desperately needed in our community.

Let us continue to pray, fast, and stand in peaceful vigil, for their lives.

An astounding new video is drawing rave reviews from pro-life advocates around the world for its depiction of the fetal development of an unborn baby.

The new video on YouTube features Alexander Tsiaras, the author of From Conception to Birth: A Life Unfolds, presenting a video he helped develop which shows a visualization of the unborn child’s development from conception to birth. The video already has nearly 80,000 views even though it was only uploaded to YouTube on November 14.

Today as children praised our Lord, two mothers chose life! Prayers answered. How awesome is your name, O Lord, through all the earth!

Psalm 8:1-3a (A psalm of David.)
O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth!
I will sing of your majesty above the heavens with the mouths of babes and infants.

Will you speak up for the least of these?  See you at 5 AM tomorrow morning as children will be killed Friday morning in Pensacola and the child’s mother will be wounded forever. Your peaceful, prayerful presence is necessary.

Beautiful song by Caitlin Jane titled Unborn.

What is sidewalk counseling?
Sidewalk counseling is exactly what the name implies—standing on the sidewalk outside an abortion clinic, counseling women and couples on their way inside. It is a last attempt to turn their hearts away from abortion and offer real help. (adapted from http://prolifeaction.org/sidewalk/ )

If you feel called to become a sidewalk counselor then, mark your calendars!
There will be a sidewalk counseling training session at St. Paul’s Catholic Church located at 3131 Hyde Park Road in Pensacola. The session will be held at 6:30 PM on Thursday, October 27th in the Giri Room.
All are welcome to attend. We have a wonderful couple that will teach us proven techniques they were taught by Chris Slattery and Msgr. Reilly in New York City.

After the sidewalk counseling session on Thursday evening the skills taught will be put into practice the next morning at 5 AM as women are arriving for abortions in Pensacola.

You do not want to miss this opportunity!

Thank you to everyone that helped out at the 40 Days for Life outreach table this past weekend. We were able to witness to hundreds of people. The festival grounds were filled with pro-life messages as children carried around pro-life balloons! We spoke with several people interested in 40 Days for Life. The most significant interactions were with mothers or family members who have personally experienced abortion. It is reaching these souls that makes the long weekend the most rewarding. For these mothers and family members who have felt the pain of abortion finally found an outlet. They finally found someone that cares for them and they were so grateful for all the information about silent no more and Rachel’s Vineyard and the love they received from everyone at the table. This is the reason why we do this outreach year after year. Thank you God for allowing us to be your servants!
Along with witnessing to those needing healing after abortion, we had a beautiful interaction with one man. He came to our table and took some Rachel’s Vineyard information as well as other materials. He then came back 30 minutes later. He shook my wife’s hand and said, “Thank you for being here. It really means a lot to me what you are doing.” He then began to tear up and continued to say, “You see I am adopted, and I wanted to let you know that your work matters. Keep it up!” He then walked away as quickly as he appeared. We were left in awe, saying Praise the Lord!
Thank you God for allowing us to be a witness for you O Lord! All Glory and Honor goes to you O Lord! Amen!

This past Friday morning, women and men seeking abortion were met by 19 smiling and singing children bright and early in the morning. One mother chose life and brought her ultrasound photo to show the group. After seeing the image of her baby she just knew she could not take the life of her child. Please keep this mom along with all of the mothers facing an unplanned pregnancy during this 40 Days for Life. May we be there for them in their joy as well as their sorrow.

Here are some photos capturing the moments of 40 Days for Life and the 40 Days for Life outreach this weekend.

On Respect Life Sunday we had a fantastic turnout.  Well over fifty people attended the afternoon prayer vigil hosted by Florida Teens for Life. Fr. Paul led us in prayer and we had teens and young adults lead us in praise and worship. What a wonderful afternoon it was as we stood together in prayer. We prayed for the unborn, their mothers and fathers, for the conversion of the abortionist, as well as the abortion facility staff.
As we stood there we had one woman come over to us and ask us to just go read books to children. She wanted us to go away. As we explained to her what we are about she began to change. She was especially moved when she was able to meet our friend who chose life 18 months ago, and hold her 1 year old child (baby D) who was schedule to die at AMS of Pensacola. She kept saying, “What a sweet baby,” as she held baby D in her arms. She began to see we that our presence in front of the abortion facility does matter. Please pray for this woman as she has a lot of hurt. In the end this woman was able to see that we are about bringing the mercy of Christ to the street in front of Pensacola’s last remaining abortion facility.
We need you to keep coming out to pray in front of Pensacola’s last remaining abortion facility. If you have come out once, come out again and bring someone with you. If you haven’t come out, take an opportunity to come out and pray today. Hearts and minds are being changed when we stand in front of our abortion facility to peacefully pray to end abortion. Remember children lose their lives Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings in Pensacola. God has work for us to do. How do we respond?
Below are some images from Sunday, including pictures of baby D. God Bless you all!
