All glory to God! We rejoice to share that two young mothers from Texas chose life outside a New Mexico abortion facility this week—our 11th and 12th confirmed saves of 2026.
What a powerful reminder that God is still moving, still speaking, and still rescuing lives in the most difficult moments. Your prayers and faithful support are making a real and eternal difference. We are especially grateful for our consistent, faithful sidewalk team who shows up week after week with compassion, courage, and unwavering trust in the Lord. Their dedication is a beautiful testimony, and we thank God for each and every one of them. If you have ever felt a nudge to step out in faith and be part of this life-saving work, we warmly invite you to join our team—there is a place for you here, and your presence can make an eternal difference.
A young couple arrived feeling conflicted. As the woman approached the entrance, she turned back in tears. Our team prayed and spoke with them. She believed in God but feared rejection; he was concerned about finances. They shared Scripture (Matthew 6:33; 2 Corinthians 5:7), encouraged them to trust in God's provision, and prayed together. In that moment of uncertainty, God met them with peace. They left smiling, committed to return to Texas, speak with their families, and choose life. What began in fear ended in hope.
Soon after, another young mother—14 weeks pregnant from Lubbock—walked out and said, "I was supposed to have the procedure today, but I decided not to do it." With her parents present, our team prayed with them and provided helpful resources. You could see the relief on their faces as fear gave way to courage. They left encouraged and hopeful, stepping into a future filled with possibility.
We remain in contact with both mothers, offering ongoing supportand connecting them to trusted pregnancy centers in Texas. These relationships matter, and we are committed to walking alongside them every step of the way. Please continue to lift these families up in prayer as they move forward.
This is why we stand on the sidewalks. This is why we pray. This is why we trust God to do what only He can do. Thank you for standing with us—your prayers, your encouragement, and your partnership are saving lives and changing hearts. And to our faithful sidewalk team, thank you for your steadfast presence and love—you are truly making an eternal impact.
For His Glory,
