Affecting a Culture One Person, One Church, One City at a Time


I spent the first part of Monday morning on the sidewalks of the abortion center with our skeletal Cities4Life team. Most of our folks were uptown, preparing for the Roe V Wade Memorial. Since I was one of the speakers, I only had time to speak to the abortion-minded women on the sidewalk for about an hour or so, and then dash off to the memorial service.

One of the moms I have worked with for a couple of years now was also speaking. She was already there when I arrived. I asked how she was doing.
“I was really nervous,” she told me, “But my daughter reminded me that God was with me.”
“Amen,” I said, “The Holy Spirit will empower you to say all you need to say!”
“How are you doing?”she asked me.
Really nervous,” I said.

It  was a beautiful memorial.  You can watch it  in its entirety on Facebook at the Cities4Life Charlotte page. Link: https://www.facebook.com/Cities4LifeCharlotte/videos/1657342454353112/

My speech is HERE.

Lakilra’s speech, the mom who spoke, is HERE.

After both Lakilra and I had finished speaking, we hugged each other with relief. We had made it through. A stranger came up to me and told me she had been on her lunch hour. She stopped to see what was happening at that major intersection in Charlotte,  and heard our speeches. She wanted to know how she could get involved with our organization. How could she help women like Lakilra choose life over abortion? I texted her a volunteer form right then and there. 

One person at a time, one church at a time, one city at a time....

Joshua 24:15 


And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
