Pro Mom Pro Baby

I wonder why the Pro-Life movement believes we know more about what appeals to people than Jesus. Why do we think that offers of bottles, blankets, buggies, free ultrasounds and brochures listing numerous nonprofits would change the mind of an abortion tempted mom? What Jesus offered was a message and method that connected them to the life they longed for. It changed hearts. It changed minds.

If you're supporting a clinic that can't connect moms with a local, long-term body of believers in an effective way, as good as their intentions might be, you're enabling a strategy that falls short of the gospel Jesus proclaimed.

You may say, "It's better than nothing." Is it? Jesus could've said, "a law driven, works-based, pharisaical, religiosity that appears holy on the outside but is a rotting co**se on the inside is better than nothing" but He didn't. Instead, He modeled a sacrificial, laying down of self, void of comfort and security, that proclaimed a message and method that led the world to a new life in a new kingdom...the church.

What's the church? It's far from what we're able to experience on Sunday mornings. It's a community where we can regularly confess our shortcomings and yet receive grace, truth, love, acceptance, encouragement and accountability. It restores. Stop short of this if you will but you do so at your own peril. You, your family and a lost world cries out for it.

Watch our strategy video. This is what Jesus would do to change the culture on abortion and for that matter, divorce, greed, loneliness, poverty, anxiety, etc. We can help you start this kind of community. Don't delay. Reach out to us at [email protected].

We're Pro Mom, Pro Baby, Pro Abundant Life We're Pro Mom, Pro Baby, Pro Abundant Life for all involved. That's what Jesus wants from us for you. Let us show you how.

An open letter to Pro-Life minded churches:

Dear Pro-Life minded Church,

My name is Greg Clemens. I’ve spent over 30 years in ministry, much of it in leadership with the world’s largest mission organization. About eight years ago, I felt an undeniable call to engage in the pro-life movement. The first couple of years, I simply listened and learned, asking a critical question:

Why hasn’t the church, historically known for transforming cultures, been able to change it on abortion?

Last year, even after the Dobbs decision, we saw the largest increase in abortions in the past decade. What are we missing?

We need to understand women choose abortion for many reasons—fear, shame, poverty, pressure, etc. If we can’t address those issues head on in a tangible way, we have no hope of changing anyone’s mind.

THE MISSING PIECE IN THE PRO-LIFE STRATEGY

Jesus spoke of and modeled for us the only way to do this. We must make them a legitimate offer of a new life in a new kingdom: the gospel. Not just the message we often preach, but the full reality of what His new kingdom would be. It was to be a kingdom where we’d experience grace, truth, purpose, justice, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love—the very things every human heart longs for.

God designed the local church, your church, to be the place where people experience that Kingdom, and yet, this is where we often fall short. Our reputation is and our practices prove we can’t or won’t intentionally and effectively connect these moms to the one entity God created to usher in the abundant life. Until this changes we can’t expect to change the culture on abortion.

WHAT WOMEN NEED: MORE THAN A NINE MONTH COMMITMENT.

The numbers prove that most abortion-vulnerable women never step inside our Pro-Life Clinics (PRCs). Why? They see free ultrasounds, baby supplies, and nonprofit resources—but not a pathway to a transformed life in a new Kingdom.

If we want to change the minds of moms, we must change our message and pursuit.

A CHURCH THAT PURSUES LIKE JESUS

Changing the culture on abortion will require more than financial partnerships and an open invitation to attend a Sunday morning service. What these moms need is a church that pursues them—relentlessly, just as Jesus described in Luke 15 with the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. He told those three parables back-to-back-to-back to make one thing abundantly clear: God is a God who pursues, and we must do the same.

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW

We’ve developed a proven strategy to help bridge this gap. Would you

 watch this short video explaining how PRCs and churches can work together to offer these women a legitimate, lifelong invitation into God’s Kingdom? https://promomprobaby.org/our-strategy/
 If that resonates with you, would you then reach out to your local PRC, show them the video and ask them to partner with you in this way?
 Then, Register Your Church on Our Map https://promomprobaby.org/register/ and
Access the free "Completing the Circle of Care" Guide for small groups. https://promomprobaby.org/resources/topic/the-completing-the-pro-abundant-life-circle-of-care-guide-2/ This guide will help you and your people form the kind of communities that transforms moms’ lives.

Your church may be our last hope for changing the culture on abortion. Let’s not stop short of what God wants from us for these moms stuck in cyclical patterns of destruction. We pray you’ll join us in this mission.

Until His Kingdom comes in full,

Greg
