Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Sep 30, 2024
We were truly grateful for the opportunity this past week to shine a light on the devastating impact of the abortion industry in America. Abby Johnson’s film Unthinkable is not easy to watch, but it exposes the industry for what it is, so we were pleased to host two screenings in the Capitol and at our Ministry Center. Some great discussion ensued, and no doubt, what we saw will stick with us. Please continue to pray for the impact of this important documentary.
On a lighter note, Faith & Liberty and She Leads America were able to help honor several women with the Christian Women of Distinction Award. These women stand out and shine their light for Christ in their respective roles, including in the national media. We are thankful for their example!
Peggy Nienaber, senior vice president of Faith & Liberty, also was presented with an award for her work with our Ministry Center. She received the She Leads America Medal of Honor. Great work, Peggy!
