Dr. Matt showed me the ultrasound machine in the ICU Mobile van.

During the NIFLA conference, a pregnancy help van from ICU Mobile was on the premises, and I said a prayer for strength and protection on the people who staff it.

I spoke at the conference on a panel regarding activating the Church for the prolife cause.

The panel on the Church included a number of pregnancy center directors from around the country.

The Rachel’s Vineyard team of Richmond, VA and I led a prayer service for healing on the first night of the conference. Rachel’s Vineyard is a ministry of Priests for Life and is the largest ministry in the world for healing after abortion.
