Community Prayer Service
As we approach the end of the year, we're getting closer to a monumental moment in history. The prolife movement was offered a glimmer of hope on May 17th when the Supreme Court took up the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. This case should ultimately make the Supreme Court have to either overturn Roe or uphold Roe and reject the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban. For the past 29 years, we have waited for another opportunity to shake the Abortion Industry and the moment is finally here! So we're going to pray! Join us for a Community Prayer Service on Tuesday, November 30th at 7 pm. We are meeting at Grace Christian Center, 683 Maiden Lane, St. Joseph, MI. Share this with your church, invite a friend, and join us! We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Our Guest Speaker on May 11, 2021: Gianna Jessen
Gianna Jessen was intended to die before she was born, just another one of the nearly 1 million abortions each year in the United States. Gianna was bathed in a burning saline solution, but she overcame to enter the world. Two months premature and weighing just 2.5 lbs., she spent her first couple of months in a hospital. The failed abortion had also provided her the "gift" of cerebral palsy, as she calls it: "It allows me to really depend on Jesus for everything." Gianna was labeled a hopeless case and doctors predicted she would never even lift her head. She showed them! She began walking at age three and has grown into a woman who has run marathons. Her goal is to live the impossible since nothing is impossible for God.
