The Sanctity of Life Ministry is focused on providing opportunities for our church to support the rescue of the unborn. Life is a gift from God, and He created each one of us uniquely and in His image. In Psalm 139, the psalmist praises God for how He "knitted me together in my mother's womb". In Isaiah 1:17 God says to "bring justice to the fatherless". Our church upholds the sanctity of life and uses 4 key areas of opportunity to help the unborn.
AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
Prayer: If God is for us, who can be against us? We pray specifically for this ministry's needs and generally for the national need to value life.
- Pray: Daily, commit to pray at 7:14 a.m. and 7:14 p.m. in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14 which states: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (ORTL, bottom of page)
