from John Pisciotta, Director
Pro-Life Waco
The kickoff event for the 2019 40 Days for Life spring campaign was the successful January 10 breakfast event for pastors organized by Pro-Life Waco and CareNet Pregnancy Center of Central Texas. These two ministries will co-sponsor 40 Days for Life which starts on March 6. Care Net and PLW also work together on sidewalk counseling and much more. The high-spirited event was at the Baylor Club in the Baylor University football stadium. Over 100 attended representing 45 churches in the Central Texas areas. The event will provide a boost for life defender outreach in Central Texas for 2019 and beyond.
The speakers at the event included:
- Shawn Carney president of 40 Days for Life
- Haywood Robinson, former abortionist and board member of 40 days for life
- Aine Fitzgerald, co-director of Waco 40 Days for Life.
- Deborah McGregor, CEO of CareNet Pregnancy Center of Central Texas, high-light their deployment of “Birtha”, the sonogram/clinic bus and the bricks and mortar clinic that Care Net has purchased directly across Sanger Avenue from Planned Parenthood.
- Rev. Ronnie Holmes, lead pastor of Church of the Open Door in Waco
- Rev. Ramiro Peña, lead pastor of Christ the King Baptist Church in Waco
I will turn to photos (see below) to give you a feel for the event. As the longtime director of Pro-Life Waco, I was elated with the outcome of our first annual pastors pro-life breakfast. WE NEED OUR PASTORS.
What stands out most in my mind about the breakfast is COLLABORATION. Three organizations--international 40 Days for Life, CareNet Pregnancy Center of Central Texas, and Pro-Life Waco pulled together for this event and will continue to reap an abundant harvest from their synergy.
