I Lived on Parker Avenue just launched an "Indiegogo" crowdfunding campaign to raise $100,000 in the next 45 days to fund the promotion of the film once it's released in March. The film was created on a shoestring budget, and funds are needed to get the inspirational pro-life message out to the world!

College Students Train in Sidewalk Advocacy
Students for Life groups from the UNO, Nicholls and Holy Cross participated in "Sidewalk Advocacy" training recently.
New Orleans Projects Directer Shanon Snyder led the training for 10 students.
Sidewalk Advocacy is a type of hands-on pro-life activism where advocates go to an abortion facility and effectively advise abortion-minded women. It is a great opportunity to save lives in real time and be an advocate for the unborn.
Nicholls students put their training to the test recently at the Women's Health Center abortion facility in New Orleans. Other area university students are also planning trips there.

Share Message of Life: Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is Coming Soon!
|
Louisiana Churches:
Participate in Sanctity
of Human Life Sunday!
Date:
Jan. 21, 2018
What is It? On Jan. 22, 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated the third Sunday of January as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Churches around our country still use this day to raise awareness about core life issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, embryonic stem cell research, infanticide and more. Pastors can take this opportunity to teach what the Bible says about the sanctity of human life and what the church can do to minister to the vulnerable in our society.
The
third Sunday of January was chosen because it falls in close proximity to the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, handed down on Jan. 22, 1973, and legalizing abortion in all 50 states, in all nine months of pregnancy, and for virtually any reason (or no reason at all).
We encourage your church to participate in Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. We have online resources at ProLifeLouisiana.org/Sunday to make your observance of SOHLS even more special. You can order free Sanctity of Human Life Sunday bulletin inserts to distribute and download our Sanctity of Human Life Pastor's Handbook, which includes information to help pastors discuss the Sanctity of Human Life more effectively with their congregations. Please take advantage of these materials. Traditionally, Southern Baptist churches observe Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, but our materials are open to all Christian churches.
