Recently, I spoke with John Fusto, our very capable international network manager, who brought me up to date on our work in the mission field. We are truly blessed not only to collaborate with such great champions of life, but to have the prayers and financial support of you, our faithful and generous donors; especially in these challenging financial times, and in the face of a newly energized anti-life opposition. While it can be disheartening at times to hear so many of our affiliates report that our opposition is clearly receiving new and increased funding, we are encouraged to see the passionate and ever more creative efforts of our affiliates in their mission to save lives. Here are just a few examples of the wonderful work being done with your generous support: Ecuador Eastern Europe In recent weeks, Dr. Antun Lisec has worked not only in Croatia, but he has also made missionary trips to Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Russia. He recorded a 42-minute pro-life lecture that he sent to Catholic catechists of all the nursing schools in Croatia and to many radio stations. One Serbian orthodox priest replied that he will broadcast the lecture from his radio station , and that it will be offered to all radio stations of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Highlights of Antun's trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina included a live TV broadcast and radio program in the town of Mostar, as well as a 60-minute pro-life lecture for students at the University of Mostar, where Antun distributed more than 100 CDs to the students afterwards. A journalist from Radio Medjugorje recorded the lecture and promised to broadcast it. Like so many of our fellow pro-life organizations, we are being hit hard by the downturn in the economy. Yet, our pro-life missionaries continue to do the hard but rewarding work of saving lives. By doing this they are honoring the sacrifices of you, our supporters; we know how hard it is to continue to give generously as we all struggle through these difficult times. Please give a donation to support our missionary work in these and other nations around the world. Just click on the bright orange "Donate Now" button below to contribute to our mission now. The need is dire, but our pro-life warriors remain committed to defending life in so many countries around the world. And with your continued help, we will keep fighting for life. Thank you.

Every person who honestly considers the abortion issue knows that abortion does grave harm to women. What many people don't necessarily know, however, is the harm that abortion does to the partners of those women who have abortions. Raymond DeSouza discusses this phenomenon in this latest episode of LifeLines. See the video here... |
