LifeFlix
We have a new service called LifeFlix. It’s a way for life teams, chapters, congregations, and others to have access to some of the many excellent pro-life documentaries and movies being produced these days. Our library is small, but we do plan to expand the DVD selection soon.
Lutherans For Life in Latvia
Dr. Lamb received this wonderful note today from Jānis Diekonts of LFL of Latvia. Please keep everyone involved in your prayers.
Dear Jim,
I have a great news. We have helped to organize a training course for crisis pregnancy center in Madona town. It was a great surprise to see so many people there. Social workers, many local Lutheran congregation members, catholic priest and even some nuns are coming to learn how to help women in crisis pregnancy and after abortion. Local television came and took some interviews. I was able to speak. Yesterday this was aired on national television in evening news. Great pro-life message to Latvia. Thanks to God!
Please pray for this event. There is hope that after this course there will be a special shelter house for girls who are in hard situations and pregnant, but some problems still preventing this.
For life,
Jānis Diekonts
