Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Sep 23, 2024
So much is at stake concerning the future of our nation. Will America be free? Will we stand for life? Will the natural family thrive in America? These are all values Faith & Liberty upholds and publicly supports here on Capitol Hill.
As we stand for the lives of the unborn, we look forward to a very special event this week as we co-host a screening of the Unthinkable documentary. Unthinkable — a feature-length documentary that exposes the dirtiest secrets of the abortion industry — was created by Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director, pro-life activist, and the subject of the 2019 film Unplanned.
Members of Congress and congressional staffers have been invited to the screening on September 25 in the U.S. Capitol. Actors and people behind the film will participate in a panel discussion after the showing.
This month at our Ministry Center, Faith & Liberty and Liberty Counsel Action also will team up to co-host a screening of Unthinkable for leaders on Capitol Hill.
This is a wonderful opportunity to effectively shine the light of truth on an industry that has unapologetically promoted the death of helpless children and the demise of the family. Please support us prayerfully and financially as we actively engage our leaders in the cause of life. Ask God to reveal to them the depth of hatred and corruption driving this industry. Pray that the hearts and minds of government leaders will be changed after seeing this film.
