There is always something that can be done to save mothers and their children from the horror of abortion.  Without a doubt, though, the first step is prayer.  Abortion is a mountain that needs to get up and go throw itself into the sea.  Prayer can put it there.   You don't have to be a prayer giant to be effective, either.  Commitment and humility will work just fine.

In my opinion the next most important thing to be done is to speak up.  The idea that Christians are supposed to be the silent majority is absolute nonsense.  Your light isn't shining if it's in the "off" position.  We are to expose these evils  We are to speak the truth.   The church has done a great disservice by ignoring this issue.  Don't you go along with it.  Speak with your pastor or deacons about covering abortion.  Realize that one of the reasons abortion continues is because many do not see killing the children as a sin.   How can they if they are never told the truth about it?

Pass out fliers.  This can be as simple as copying the poem “Little Innocents” and sending it to churches in your area or whomever else you feel needs to read it.  All I ask is that you leave my byline.  Many copies have been distributed, mostly in Kansas, leaving a wake of changed hearts, opened eyes, and live children.  If you so desire there are several good pre-printed brochures available as well.  Simply search "prolife literature" and you'll find a variety of options.

Volunteer.  Birthline, Crisis Pregnancy Centers, etc. all run on volunteer muscle.  If someone isn't available to help mothers when they're looking for help, the result could be disasterous.  Giving up a few days a month, could literally make the difference between live children or dead ones.

Witnessing onsite, while worthwhile and effective, is not for everyone.  However, most can offer prayer support; sing hymns/worship the Lord; or hold a picture/artwork/sign.  All of these have the potential to affect a choice for life.  Even standing silently near the entrance to a mill makes the statement that you are concerned for the children's welfare.  I've always thought that the stronger the onsite attendance the stronger the statement for life.  However, it is important to note that a peaceful gathering must be our goal.   An unruly mob tends to frighten mothers rather than encourage them to consider their options.

It should be noted that training can be beneficial in witnessing one-on-one to abortion-minded mothers, but it is not necessary if you are certain you work in the Spirit.  He led me.  I am certain He will lead you as well.  For encouragement and ideas I suggest you read “Standing in the Gap” and “Benefits of Witnessing”.  In fact this site is designed to help those who desire to help the children.  So, have a look around.  Be sure to let me know if there is something particular you would like to know by emailing me via the "Contact" button.

The worst thing you can do is to pretend like abortion is an issue that doesn't affect you.  These are not some alien children that were not meant to benefit our world.  These are our children.  If we can't stand up for them, who could possibly be worth standing up for?
