The NH pro-life community witnessed against
abortion on demand on January 15 as the anniversary of the woeful Roe v. Wade decision
approached. Some 250 people participated in the church services,
the rally
at the NH State House, a march past the local abortion clinic, the
fellowship luncheon, or a message of pro-life education, inspiration, and
encouragement from our keynote speaker, Kathy Sparks. It was a
beautiful sunny day despite the icy rain the day before and the snow the
day after.
A BIG THANK YOU to those who attended, volunteered, prayed, promoted, or
donated food or funding on behalf of this event. (So many
were gracious with food, some leftovers were brought to area food
kitchens!) We dearly hope the tools, synergy, and
inspiration helped increase everyone's resolve to never never never give
up opposing the horrors of abortion and the reasons for it.
So far to our knowledge, only the NH Sunday News / Union Leader covered
the story, but if you see additional coverage or letters relevant, please
send them along to us.

Kathy
Sparks
Keynote Speaker
for the 2005 March for Life
in Concord, NH, Sat. Jan 15 |
"Called Out of Darkness"
Kathy Sparks presented
"Called Out of Darkness and into His Marvelous Light". She
once worked as a medical assistant in an abortion clinic, and is now
serving the Lord Jesus Christ as the Executive Director of the New
Beginnings Pregnancy Centers in Granite City, Fairview Heights, and
Edwardsville, Illinois. Kathy's testimony has appeared in Christian
Herald Magazine and in several videos including "Meet the Abortion
Providers" produced and distributed by the Pro-Life Action League of
Chicago and more recently, "The Testimony of Kathy Sparks", produced and
distributed nationwide by Mission City Television of San Antonio, Texas.
Her compelling story of crisis, healing, and renewal during the 2005 March
for Life events was really inspirational, heartwarming, motivating, and a
blessing to all.
