Talent WELL Wasted.....

Hello Readers,

It is with Great excitement that I write to you all! My name is Megan and I am the latest intern with EMC Frontline. I come from the rolling hill and farms of western Kentucky where I grew up as the third of nine awesome children. Needless to say, the very lifestyle of our family radiates a deep respect for life and a passion for putting belief into action. As a 22 year-old with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemistry with an emphasis in medicine, I feel that I have a unique responsibility to reveal the truth about the human person with in the womb and to speak out against medical treatment that is degrading and detrimental to women's holistic health.

My past experiences in the pro-life movement have truly shaped and illuminated God's call for me to commit this part of my life to learning to minister with EMC Frontline. With the help of many dear friends, I was able to start and grow a campus pro-life group at Murray State University. We participated in conferences, set up demonstrations and educated campus with speakers and events that engaged and challenged the apathy that often runs rampant at college.

These first days at EMC Frontline have consisted of sidewalk counseling at Dr. Emily's abortion clinic in the Bronx. I have been blessed to be mentored by my fellow interns and I am confident that with God's help I will become His instrument on the streets... speaking love and hope.

It was on the streets that I was engaged in conversation with a clinic escort. She asked about where I was from and how I ended up in New York. When she found out that I had a B.S. in Chemistry she was appalled that I was not teaching or furthering my education in this field.

"It is such a waste of talent to spend your time here when you could be making a REAL difference...," were her words to me.

Her words did not shake me. I am making a difference in a real and tangible way with EMC Frontline. I am learning how to love and counsel parents in crisis pregnancies. I am growing as a person of prayer and courage. And most of all, I am taking part in God's great work of defending LIFE! Though I am only just days into this experience, I consider my work here with EMC Frontline as... Talent WELL wasted !
