Thank you for keeping our supply chain running! Your generosity continues to sustain our heart-changing, life-saving ministry. Together we reach hundreds of thousands with the joy and the hope of the sanctity of every human life. Your fellowship and support encourage us and those whom we serve to receive our neighbors as gifts and treat them as privileges. In an increasingly conflicted culture, you make our Gospel-motivated voices For Life stand out.
You deserve to rejoice with us over this year. Can you see how your years of faithfulness are turning the national tide? Many churches are speaking God’s truth more courageously. Communities are showing Christ’s love more compassionately. Even legislative assemblies are more consistently resisting abortion and physician-assisted suicide. That’s why, as we applaud one effective year and prepare for another, your financial partnership has never been more important. Our Heavenly Father has not failed yet to provide for this work, and He provides precisely through your unselfishness. In 2021 alone you made these successes (among numerous others!) possible:
- Lutherans For Life’s first-ever (annual!) “Life Week,” seven days of education, activities, and resources leading up to Sanctity of Human Life Sunday
- The launch of the (free!) LFL smartphone app
- From a Word of Hope caller: “Recently I gave the hotline number [888-217-8679] to a family member who was considering abortion. Since then, she has decided to keep the baby! She struggles with mental health, and this pregnancy scared her into crisis. She is married. They had their first child at 16, and the second also came as a surprise. We are praising God that [she] has chosen to preserve the life of the child!”
We look forward to you joining with us in 2022! Please join me in praying for our Lord’s grace and guidance as we equip Lutherans and their neighbors to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life!
