Ministry Outreach Agenda: New Billboards (ABORTION HURTS) and More

from John Pisciotta, Director
Pro-Life Waco

1. This is abortion week in Waco.

This is one of those difficult and devastating weeks. I don’t know what adjectives to use. Babies in the womb are being killed as I type. For today andFriday, I encourage you to go out to Planned Parenthood at 700 W Hwy. 6 to offer your public witness and your prayers for the lives of the babies, for moms to embrace continued love for their babies, and for conversion of those who work in and support the abortion industry.

2. Second Sunday Luncheon Meeting: No, for May. Yes, for June.

May 13, the second Sunday of May, is Mother’s Day. For that reason, there will be no second Sunday Ecumenical Pro-Life Gathering in May. However, we will be back on June 10th with an outstanding meeting, a delicious meal, and a speaker you will never forget. More later. Happy Mother’s Day to all our wonderful moms.

3. Life Chain this Sunday May 6. 

We hold G-rated signs at the intersection of Valley Mills Drive and Waco Drive. Life Chain Sunday from 2-3 PM is such an enjoyable gathering. The weather should be nice. I'm hoping that we will have at least 20 pro-life foot-soldiers on site. Just come out and look for "Carolyn” the billboard truck parked near Pei Wei restaurant.

4. JP letter printed in the Waco Tribune-Herald

 

The Waco Tribune-Herald printed my letter to the editor relating to Cecile Richards new memoir and her stepping down from Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

If you like writing, I encourage you to send life-defender letters to the Waco Tribune-Herald at letters@wacotrib.com
The daily news stories distributed by LifeNews and LifeSiteNews provide ample food for thought for letters to the editor. If you write a letter and want advice on it, I will be happy to help.

5. ABORTION HURTS: Eight New Junior Billboards

To supplement our big billboard on HWY 6 near Providence Hospital, Pro-Life Waco has displayed eight junior billboards throughout the city.

Let us pray that these billboards will turn moms, dads, and grandparents from the HURT of abortion to the love and challenges of family life.

Here are the locations of the billboards. Pray that they will have a mighty impact.

6. Reports on dynamic events of the last week of April.

For the last week of April, we ended with upbeat outreach at Planned Parenthood. On April 26, 70-80 life-defenders from around Central Texas came together for a protest of an Open House event for their rather new abortion center. This was a secret event, but we found out from a tip four days in advance. Wow! You showed up in a very powerful way. Then on April 26, we delivered the long-awaited Jericho March. A throng of over 70 marched around Planned Parenthood seven times with father Robert Verrill leading and blowing the Shofar horn. With a strong sense of comradery, bother events were very enjoyable I hope you attended at least one.

In the next update, I will include photos of the April 28 Jericho March. Let us remain strong, cohesive, and prayerful in our defense of the little ones Jesus love so dearly.
