Coalition Life
Coalition Life’s heroic sidewalk counselors, client care specialists, and volunteers have helped over 3,800 women leave abortion facilities with their children alive. Coalition Life St. Louis is now a rapidly growing 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission of Ending Abortion peacefully and prayerfully. Directed by Brian Westbrook, Coalition Life counselors and prayer volunteers have helped save hundreds of children from abortion since 2009 and have impacted thousands of men and women. Beginning in 2011, the Coalition Life staff and volunteers began turning away mothers from certain abortions outside on the streets in front of the last active abortion facility in Missouri. Coalition Life’s efforts then expanded to Southern and Cook County, Illinois. When Roe v. Wade ended, Missouri banned abortion, but other states welcomed it, so the fight to save lives has moved to new fronts. In the fall of 2023, Coalition Life announced its expansion to Kansas City, excited to join hands with that community to save babies’ lives.

Them Before Us
There’s nothing exceptional about the people behind Them Before Us. We aren’t professional writers or pedigreed activists. We are just people who think that children deserve to be the primary consideration when considering what is best for, well, children. We are ordinary people willing to state the cost that children, as well as society, pay when children are deprived of their fundamental needs. Our Mission: Them Before Us is a global movement defending children’s right to their mother and father. Our Vision: Them Before Us strives to put children before adults in every conversation about marriage and family. We seek to prioritize the rights of children in the culture and courtroom, the personal and the public. Our Goals: Educate the public on a child-centric perspective of marriage and family. Represent the rights of children on policy matters. Translate core TBU messages into every language.ld and must be judged by the teaching of Scripture. The NALC has embraced four core values which shape our common life: Christ Centered, Mission Driven, Traditionally Grounded, and Congregationally Focused. We are a church centered on the unique Gospel of Jesus Christ, animated by missions and evangelism, grounded in the 2,000-year tradition of Christian faith, and organized chiefly to serve our congregations. A renewed Lutheran community moving forward in faith, the NALC is focused on living out Christ’s Great Commission to go and make disciples in North America and around the globe.
