After our time at the abortion mills yesterday the three of us met, as usual, at La Rosita where, as usual, we gave out diapers and groceries to four orfive mothers who met us there. I then drove to the west side to make a delivery to a mom there, while Anne and Alicia went [...]

A Detroit mother and her three school-aged children are waiting for the all-clear signal to move in. The upstairs unit if the house will be used, for now, as short-term, crisis housing, as the need may [...]

The Summit counselors reported that they gave out a lot of our material and that the numbers there were not as high as in previous weeks. Over at American Family Planning, our friend Chris, who goes there every day, says [...]

About five clients came that day to the abortuary. One group, an adult man and woman with a teenage girl, came in late and remained in the [...]

Reluctantly she agreed to meet with us one more time; during that meeting we again emphasized that we were going to stick with her through and beyond the pregnancy. Learning [...]
Continue Reading →The sidewalk counselors at Summit have asked us to pray for Janell, whom they met yesterday morning at the abortuary. We also received a call from a woman who received our number while at American Family Planning on Thursday. Even though she is of age, she says her mother will “kill her” if she finds [...]
Continue Reading →Since we have been so busy, I will focus on one story–the one requiring most prayer, I think. She came to the abortion mill last Saturday. Alicia crouched down between the door and the driver’ s seat and talked to her, there in the parking lot, for about a half hour. Later that day we went [...]
