Washington Heights

Today was a special journey for some of the interns. We started to minister to women in a new area of New York, Washington Heights in northern Manhattan. At nine in the morning we went to the neighborhood with our equipment: camera, television, pamphlets, and pregnancy tests in our van. All the women where touched by terrible images that we show on the TV. Many of them didn't know anything about the abortion procedures that take the lives of about 1.5 million unborn children every year in the United States alone.

"You're doing a great labor showing this! The girls need more education about abortion," a woman told me while she was watching the video.

Many girls volunteered to help us distribute information about our pregnancy resource centers. We are very happy to start advertising in this new place. We believe that as we expand our ministry into new areas more women will be educated about the cruelty of the abortion, translating in more babies' lives saved. Even one life would make it worth the effort!

My first week

This is our first week in the United States doing pro-life work. We did not know what to expect at first but we have learned a lot this first week and was amazed at how much good work we were able to do in such a short amount of time. we have done everything from handing out pamphlets on the street to counseling in the centers. we can see right away how we are able to affect the pro-life movement every day.

Just this day we had a turnaround with a girl from the Dominican. At first she was very afraid of the abortion but felt like she had no other choice. She already had a baby of eleven months and her boyfriend was in another country. However, once we started talking to her she immediately broke down in tears and decided to keep the the baby. Liz took her to the chapel and told her that Jesus was her doctor.

I am very excited for the work to come. Pray for us!
