1:06
everyone else for joining. Um and if you have any questions uh yeah please for
1:13
Alvita put them in the Q&A and then we'll bring them up when Alvida yeah or
1:18
uh has a time for some questions. Um, but Avita, since you can't see the chats
1:24
or the uh um reactions, um just know that there's uh 18 19 people in the room
1:32
and they're excited to hear your story. And do we want to start in prayer, Jacob?
1:38
Yes. Um yeah, let's let's start in prayer. Um God, thank you so much for
1:44
this this time um for this, you know, for Avida to be here and to share her
1:50
her vision and her her her story and reactions and thoughts. And uh Lord, I
1:56
pray that it will be a blessing to those who are here. I pray that this will be an encouragement that is rich for us to
2:04
experience and for us to share with others. And I pray that we will um yeah
2:10
be able to be fully present and let distractions um bounce off during this time. And I pray this in your name,
2:16
Jesus. Amen. All right, Avita, the floor is yours.
2:22
Amen. May I request let's can we do this conversationally rather than me just
2:27
talking a monologue. So if you'll give me a couple of questions that I can get
2:32
a perspective and bring it back to you. Can we do it that way? Sure, you bet.
2:38
Um, so, so Avita, what would you like to share with Princy Clinic directors? What
2:45
would be something that comes to mind that you think would be helpful to those
2:50
working um, as leaders in the pregnancy clinic space?
2:56
The pregnancy care center space is so unique and and so wonderful. I'm 75
3:03
years old and I've been in this particular phase of uh the go sharing
3:10
the gospel and human dignity of advocacy since 1983 when I became a born again
3:17
Christian. At that time abortion was legal in America completely from uh
3:23
conception all the way through until the day of delivery and sometimes during
3:28
delivery. Of course, we know a lot of that legally was ended when Ro v. Wayade came
3:37
down. I was not one who thought Ro was here forever. I always thought it would
3:42
go. And so about
3:48
2010 or so, I began to join the community that would say, "Hey, let's
3:55
get ready because one day Roby Way won't be here and people are going to keep their babies and there has to be someone
4:01
who will care and who will help." Of course, that movement grew. And before
4:06
Roie Wayade went away, there were more pregnancy care centers in America than
4:12
abortion meals. It used to be the opposite before that. And so today's
4:17
time we are finding parents, fathers and mothers, grandparents,
4:24
communities who don't know what to do with all these babies. I want to be very
4:29
transparent even with myself lately. When I travel, I'm on airplanes and
4:35
everything all the time. There are car seats, parents with strollers, babies
4:40
yelling on the planes and I know I would find myself becoming a little agitated
4:47
and I would say or think, why don't they make those babies be quiet and God says,
4:53
don't you dare. They kept those babies and you pray that the babies be calm and
4:59
happy. So I said, okay, God, I can do that.
5:04
Praise the Lord. So the job of the pregnancy care directors and centers now
5:10
your biggest challenge still is to raise money and many of you don't want to take
5:16
government assistance or help in the government communities right now
5:23
uh there's a lot of work with DEI which funded transgender surgeries on minors
5:30
which was helping with abortions and all that that's not happening anymore And I
5:36
am and this is nonofficial statement. I am the senior advisor to the United
5:41
States Department of Agriculture faith center. And so, but I can tell you that
5:48
we are encouraging people of faith in every department of the United States government to our health community to
5:56
support holy matrimony to support life from the womb to the tomb beyond to
6:02
support people who have questions about sexuality without cutting off baby body
6:08
parts and things. So there is some opportunity for the faith community to
6:14
help uh pregnancy care centers in a way that was not there before. So your
6:19
challenge of course is uh the laxis basical attitude. Oh wellie
6:26
weight is gone. Our job is over. Forget about it. Let me go live my life. No you have that. You need to raise money. You
6:33
still need to have the faith community participate with you. But it's not
6:39
impossible. It's what is called an uphill climb. That's good. Um,
6:46
Alvita, which which Bible passage or which Bible story speaks most clearly to
6:52
this work that you have poured into when it comes to saving lives and speaking up for the unborn.
7:00
The scripture always out of Deuteronomy 2's life so that you and your
7:06
generations may live. It depends on which translation. So, uh, and then you
7:12
know, speak out for those who can't speak for themselves certainly is one. There are several. And, uh, I like life
7:19
from the womb to the tomb and beyond. There's one blood, one human race. No
7:25
separate races. Uh, human dignity matters. Act 17:26, one blood. So, there
7:30
are many, many scriptures, not just one for me. Oh, that's really good. Thank Thank you.
7:36
Would you share more about that that phrase that I hear you say which is from
7:41
the womb to the tomb? Where did that come from and can you explain in detail what you what that what that means to
7:46
you? Dr. Johnny Hunter from an organization
7:52
called life I forget it's L E A R N learn and Dr. Hunter was always safe
8:00
from the womb to the tomb and then from Elizabeth Doyle when she leaves America
8:05
I added a wound to the tomb and beyond. So life is important and I always would
8:12
say I was with piece of life about I think 19 years or so. Um,
8:17
and I would always say you you you've got to look at all the communities, all
8:23
the ethnicities. You've got to help people not need to or think they need to have an abortion. So,
8:30
what happens after the baby is here? So the womb of course and
8:36
you know you know all the other controversial aspects of that having the
8:41
babies now and they're conceived not with one man married to one woman
8:48
and they have the sexual intimacy and they get pregnant and have a baby. You've got other situations where we
8:54
have babies now. And so all of that has to be considered as well. And I believe
9:01
that womb to the tomb and beyond where will you spend eternity uh needs to be
9:06
asked and to see all the babies as human beings members of the human race
9:12
and God wants to have human dignity for everyone. I have a question.
9:20
I have a question. So, do you think that there's still um issues with
9:25
inequalities um with access to health care and socioeconomic barriers?
9:31
And if so, how do pregnancy sitters like relate to those and help um bridge that
9:38
gap? Absolutely. There are socioeconomic barriers. There always have been. There
9:46
always will be. And that's where compassion comes in. And so we have to have people care about each other. I uh
9:54
went to the post office today and it was so funny. Well, it wasn't. It wasn't.
9:59
So, I saw this card and I decided to buy all the ones in that little part of the
10:04
rack and the card said, "To get this card for you, I had to leave the house
10:11
and interact with other humans. You're one of the few people who's worth all
10:16
that." And so, will we leave our homes or our safety or our security, our sanctuaries,
10:25
and go out and help others? That's always going to be a question. And so, the people in the post office were
10:30
laughing at me because I first said, "Who did that? I have to get that one. I'm thinking about that." And then I
10:36
said, "I need another one." And then I said, "Let me just get all of them." And the people were laughing. And so, one
10:42
man said, "That's what the world has come to, isn't it?" And so it uh it was
10:48
a moment and so I think I did a John 3:16 for God so loved the world in a
10:54
different kind of a way and conveyed that same message. So there's always opportunity to serve and to help people
11:02
care again, you know. Well, that's good. Um, so, so Alvida,
11:09
with with Charlie Kirk being assassinated and that impacting so many people, how
11:17
has that impacted you? And, you know, what are your thoughts today on on
11:22
what's happened since Charlie Kirk being shot? You know, I put some things out on
11:29
social media. I guess I am an instructor of sort. I know I am, as a matter of fact. And I put some things out cuz like
11:37
the lady called me yesterday and she says, "You have been so good at defending Charlie Kurt. Can you help me
11:44
because people in my church are angry because we did a tribute to Charlie." I said, "I I don't think I've defended
11:50
Charlie. I uphold the gospel of Jesus Christ." Charlie loved Jesus, not afraid
11:56
to call on Jesus in the public square and therefore has inspired the rest of
12:02
us to do that. I said, "So, I would not necessarily think that's me defended
12:08
Charlie, but then he should be remembered in that." But somebody else said about Charlie, they said,
12:13
"Charlie's not in heaven because he defended Jesus. Charlie's in heaven
12:18
because Jesus died for him and rose again for him." And I said, you know, that's a beautiful way to say that. So,
12:25
Charlie, uh, I love Charlie dearly. Actually did know Charlie and his wife
12:30
Erica. And uh so I did speak from that position, but I thought it was fabulous
12:37
when Erica forgave the man who shot her husband. I thought that was amazing. I
12:42
remember when my grandma was shot playing the organ at Eene the Baptist Church and this gunman comes in and
12:48
shoots her and kills her and at least two other people. My granddaddy went to the jail and said, "Son, I forgive you.
12:55
You took away the most precious gift I have on this earth. I forgive you." and he went on to minister the gospel of
13:01
Jesus to that man. So forgiveness is a very important part. And now that
13:08
Charlie is gone, it caused everybody to reflect. And if you really caught me on
13:13
social media, I acknowledge that his love for Christ, his witness. And I did
13:20
not think that Charlie would be mad at me if I asked the question. And that question was, "Where will you feel
13:27
eternity? what will you spend I'm sorry what will you spend eternity and so that
13:33
is how I've been talking about that I thought that was just absolutely horrible having had a dad who was
13:38
assassinated a grandmother and uncle having survived an assassination
13:44
attempted to myself I think is just horrible
13:50
wow thank you for sharing on that so we have a question um from Fred Hagen he
13:56
his question is with the abortion pill. There are more abortions now than before
14:02
the proliferation of the abortion pill. Yet, I don't see a corresponding
14:08
increase in client coming through the door of our pregnancy resource center.
14:13
Have you seen andor heard about this occurring?
14:18
Well, my friends and associates, I have a friend out uh in California talking
14:24
the other day. up to get my board of directors because he has he's the director of the center and there are
14:32
are opportunities more and more people are coming through their doors and I think he said they had to open another
14:38
center as well. So it just I guess it depends on where you are if the community is still engaged and if
14:46
the community still care and that's really going to always be the issue and
14:51
if if the pregnancy care center in the urban or rural areas are are not
14:58
spending as much time, energy, and maybe even money letting people know you are
15:03
there. Come on in. We will help you. Then maybe that is some of what you're seeing. I'm not sure.
15:11
Yeah. I I think it's because perhaps maybe partially because people are doing it do it yourself. Like they're ordering
15:17
the pill from their house. They're taking the pill at their house and if there's a complication, they're going to
15:23
the hospital. I think that's part of it. And then when they get to the hospital,
15:29
it's not written up as an abortion. And I think and a lot of people we spent a
15:34
lot of when I say we in the pro-life community with the pregnancy care centers and those who still protest at
15:41
the center abortion meals. We are really doing more and more informing people of
15:47
the terrible harm of misappropri and all of those things and what they do. You
15:52
have that abortion at home by yourself. It is very traumatic.
15:58
And then the baby you know, I don't even want to describe
16:04
it too much, but uh the mother is having to
16:10
bury her baby in water in the toilet. So, I think it's it's it's traumatic.
16:15
It's terrible and it is still our responsibility to make sure that people know about the
16:22
harm and be there to help. And also I imagine you at the pregnancy after women
16:28
have had abortion sometimes they'll come in and and they need some trauma
16:34
assistance and help and all of that. The ones who come in and they still abort
16:39
the baby then they don't know what to do and come back. All of that there's a lot involved.
16:45
That's good. I also think Jacob that um going back to that question too is that because they
16:52
are so ingrained that these pills are just like aspirin, you know, get rid of a
16:58
problem that they're not, you know, like before they would come in for um you
17:03
know, pregnancy testing or ultrasounds or something like that and they're not they're just taking the pill because
17:09
they don't think it's a big deal to take the pill. So I think we're seeing less of them in in that respect as well is
17:16
that they they they're not looking to go get help. They're looking just take a pill to make everything go away.
17:24
It used to be called a morning after pill and then it became what it is now. So we still have an obligation and a
17:31
responsibility to inform, educate and activate the community.
17:36
Yes. report it and also report these schools who are giving out those pills in the in
17:42
the uh in the dispensary in the health area and let parents somebody needs to
17:48
let the parents know you need to be checking for the girls who are uh in high school, middle and high school.
17:55
I was going to say we had another um question but we don't. I do have another question here along those lines where you talked about you know education and
18:01
so forth like that. Um you know based on your experience counseling women and families what like what programs or
18:09
initiatives or ways to reach these women with life affirming um to help them make
18:14
life affirming um choices um and then and then providing um support. What what
18:20
do you think are the best like v venues or or ways to get the word out to be
18:27
able to help these women to reach these women? what we are finding uh with the rem
18:35
removal of some of the DEI initiatives and funding and replacing them and
18:40
bringing them back to uh just having these schools and and you know the
18:48
various opportunities for young people have these brochures and things in these
18:53
in these areas where they can see visibly and get those brochures. encourage the younger women, the girls
19:01
to go home and take them and talk to their parents about it, but make them available in the college areas as well,
19:07
across the college campuses and everywhere
19:13
also online. But you know the thing about I have been shadowbanned. I've been actually when
19:19
Twitter was Twitter kicked off, I got back on because I had over a million followers then very low numbers that are
19:26
coming back now. So I don't depend on social media but I neither do I fear AI.
19:32
I do not fear social media because if you can reach one person who can reach 10 more who can reach 20 and all of that
19:39
on social media. So we have to use everything every generation every decade
19:44
every platform every genre. We have to get this information out. So flyers and
19:51
pamphlets are not as popular anymore, but online you can get that out.
19:57
Barcodes, you know, just have barcodes on um um what do you call those things
20:03
on the side of the road? Uh QR codes. No, no, the you see that
20:12
just like on the placer boards or the billboards. Yeah. And put QR code there. somebody's
20:19
going down the street, they could catch it with their cell phone and get help. You know, there are many things that we
20:25
can do as much as Okay, good points. Thank you.
20:32
Uh Alvida, would you share uh your story and why, you know, why this issue is so
20:37
important to you? I think I posted my mother's testimony.
20:43
Dr. Ruth Barber King passed away 2024 in March. Um she wanted to abort me and my
20:51
grandfather Martin was very pro life all his all of his life. He said we're not
20:57
going to do that. They were going to talk her trying to talk her and her mother to get a DNC so she could finish
21:02
college. She was in college and all women school that did not accept marriage or pregnancy. Okay. And so my
21:11
granddaddy said you can't do that. That's an abortion cuz abortion was a leak of a deities were not.
21:18
And he said, "That's a little girl. She has bright skin and bright red hair and she's going to bless many people." And I
21:24
was born out exactly like that. And he was helping all types of people. And uh
21:30
he just did a lot of marriages, a lot of baby rescues in his whole life. So I
21:35
didn't know that, but I was raised as a Christian girl. And then uh I was a
21:41
virgin when I got married because they taught me and guided me. But then when I
21:46
got divorced, I changed. I you know went away from God and did the way I wanted
21:52
to. But whatever uh before my first marriage, I ended up with an abortion.
21:58
Right after that trying to reconcile, I had another abortion. Abortion became legal in 73. I had a an abortion in the
22:05
doctor's office in 70 73. I had a legal abortion, had a miscarriage because of
22:11
damage done to my body from the abolition. And then I just lived uh very all kinds
22:18
of ways I would say until 1983 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal
22:23
Lord and Savior. Confessed all my sins including the
22:29
voices and some other things and became a voice for life. I have been saying a woman has the right to choose what she
22:36
does on her body. The baby is not her body. Where is going to the baby? How can the baby survive if we murder our
22:43
children? A woman has a right to choose what she does with her body. The baby's not her body. Where's the lawyer for the
22:50
baby? I began to ask these types of questions. And the more I asked them, my
22:56
very successful life as a politician, an actress,
23:02
a millionaire, all this kind of went away because people didn't want me asking those questions. I didn't care. I
23:08
said, "I want Jesus." And so over the next many years, I
23:14
continued with that message. And I still have that same question today. A woman
23:19
really does have the right to she doesn't the baby is not her body. How
23:25
can the dream survive murder our children?
23:30
Wow. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story again, Alvida. Um
23:35
you're welcome. Oh, I was going to say, so speaking of
23:42
like um women who have had abortions and then had, you know, miscarriages and and
23:47
different things like that and the healing process, what would you say is like the most impactful thing for
23:56
healing in that circumstance?
24:01
Hope healing and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Get to know Jesus. get to find
24:07
people who will love Jesus, love you, who support you and just, you know, it
24:14
helps our lives when we get to leave that and understand. And even for those who say, and I've got women really, hey,
24:22
what's the best thing I ever had? I'm happy with my life. Uh, one what an
24:28
opportunity for that one, though. Sometimes we can feel that way. Many years later, there was a lady, I forget
24:35
how old she was in the nurs. And she was there. She was in a fetal
24:42
position and nothing could help her. Nothing could reach her. And a nurse
24:48
whispered in her ear one day, "Dear, have you ever had an abortion?" And the
24:53
lady begin to tremble and shake and begin to see uncontrollably. And all of this
25:00
began to comfort her and read scriptures to her and tell her how much Jesus loves
25:07
her. The woman came out of the seat of position. You begin to be able to communicate and
25:13
she lived a while longer uh with a very peaceful life where she
25:18
passed away. So, you know, however we feel about our life
25:25
experiences, compassion is the best thing. The love of Christ
25:33
and compassion without people one time I
25:40
came up to me, well, you're a hypocrite. I said, I probably am, but why do you say that? And she said, you had a voice.
25:47
She said, "You don't want to have other people to have a voices." I said, "Well, ma'am, yes, I did." Well,
25:53
that was your right. It was. I said, "But ma'am, the reason I say we should have
26:00
abortion. It is your right to do it, but it's linked to breast cancer, cervical
26:06
cancer, alcoholism, promiscuity, heartbreak." You know, I started saying all the things that are
26:13
attached to it and reality, you know, went on. No, it's not. You're lying. I
26:20
said, man, you just we did have the internet. You could have
26:28
I said just check for yourself, ma'am. I'm
26:34
no. And so the woman took and she was still
26:40
a little upset but she found out that I was telling the truth.
26:46
One thing that women you know and I had a friend of breath cancer as they have
26:53
to have sex but uh what happens when women find out
27:02
that breast cancer and cancer are connected to those abortions and those pills and the shots.
27:11
And so I I said to somebody one time, uh, they wanted me to wear the pink
27:17
little bow for breast cancer prevention. And I said, "I'm so sorry, but I would
27:23
wear it if y'all would put everything on there that's associated with it, but you
27:28
won't do that." And so I say that all sometimes now. And
27:34
uh I I I'm blessed to attend a church where the founding first lady and the
27:40
current first lady will let me talk about these subjects at church, you know, and answer the same kind of
27:47
questions I'm asking. But sometimes people don't want to talk about it. They want to look the other way. Especially
27:53
pastors, whether it's men or women in leadership in church, they don't want to talk about that at church because then
27:59
people won't come to church, won't pay their ties, and do don't want to hear it. So, they won't help. But the best
28:05
way you can help anyone who is considering abortion or who has experienced it, males and females and
28:12
grandparents community, is to first assure them that God loves them.
28:19
I believe I'll see my children in heaven. I really do. And that there's hope and healing.
28:27
And then kind of encourage the rest, you know, the girls who have not been pregnant, you know, even rap
28:34
is still not got the breast cancer and abortion abortion. I mean, depression
28:40
and alcohol is not safe adoption is an option. It needs to be safe adoption,
28:47
not in a system of children.
28:53
But people need help. We believe the Lord.
28:59
So Avita, we've got another uh question or comment for you to respond to. Um uh
29:06
we have a comment of many um of the youngest generation, the Gen Z girls, um
29:13
prefer to find answers on Google or or AI more so than talking to a live
29:20
person. Um and it seems to be because they don't want to experience emotions
29:25
or they want to have that separation from a live person. What are your thoughts on on that?
29:34
I don't fear AI artificial intelligence think AI in the Bible stronghold or town
29:40
or something terror people and at first because they wouldn't listen to God the
29:46
AI defeated them they went back they prayed and God told them what to do and they defeated AI AI is a tool
29:54
it is not the final answer I have told people myself I said hey do y'all see
30:01
what's whatever. But I always back up what I'm saying with the word of God, the
30:07
infallible word of God. So what we do is to overcome AI with
30:16
good overcome any evil that AI might do with good. God is so make sure that our
30:23
presence is there out in there. You know too many grandparents I have talked to
30:28
grandparents especially my grandchildren will talk to me oh they don't like me they hate me this they think this I said
30:35
because you want to take their devices from them what I do I just say do this
30:41
for me let's have your device lay it there turn it down face down don't turn all and
30:48
then I'll have a little mini Bible say talking about the Bible whatever when
30:53
they pick it back up because those for they look for what we say and do and
30:59
then that's what the devices pull up and when they pick the phone back up or the device back up there have some truth and
31:07
light there in front of so and I'll just say and I do it myself lately I start
31:13
putting my phone do not disturb at a certain time and because I used to be waking up in
31:18
the middle of the night and texting people and doing all that and I don't do it anymore
31:23
so rather than to take the devices or tell them don't look for don't look on
31:28
on AI because they're going to do that. But have real truth and real information
31:34
available and make our our presence known as easy access.
31:43
That's good. So, we have another uh comment that came in. Um, so with
31:49
Rachel's Vineyard offering healing for those who have been hurt by abortion, what are your thoughts on postabortion
31:56
healing and and groups like Rachel's Vineyard?
32:01
I have had postabortion healing myself and it's very effective through Rachel Vard and some other program. So healing
32:09
is necessary and useful and helpful. I highly recommend it.
32:17
That's good. Um, yeah, for those who are here, if you have any questions, please,
32:22
uh, post them in the Q&A. Um, but I think we're caught up on all of the all the questions. Um, what do you what do
32:30
you currently uh what what's your current activity look like, uh, Vita, when it comes to working in this space?
32:37
What, you know, which which areas are you currently involved?
32:42
I fully support pregnancy and my god king has a center called auntie's house
32:50
one of those that I support but I support several and I do
32:57
workshops or panels like zoom like we're doing today and I want to
33:04
get the mom the grandparents community the church and get everyone engaged
33:10
And I like to say, you know, when somebody want to commit suicide, for example, you say you have a choice, but
33:17
it's on you. No, you don't really don't have a choice. That's not an option. Let's find something that work that won't work. He and I said, you have a
33:26
choice, an option, but that's not a good one. That one won't work. Let's stretch that one off the table. So, uh, don't
33:34
keep reminding people that they have a choice. feel like you're there to help and take that one off the table as soon
33:40
as possible. That's good. Uh looks like Laura has a
33:46
her hand raised. Laura, do you have a question? Maybe you can unmute and go ahead and ask your question.
33:51
Hi there. Um I I know at the beginning of the conversation you briefly mentioned that um you're um somehow
34:00
connected with the Department of Agriculture and that there might be funding out there available for
34:05
Christian organizations. Um what type of government funding do you think we
34:10
should look for? Um I am a pregnancy center director, but I'm also the director of the Booker T. Washington
34:18
Community Center where our um pregnancy center is housed. Um and so if there's
34:25
any type of funding out there that doesn't have a ton of restrictions, I would be interested in learning about
34:30
that. Well, every uh department has a faith
34:36
center. All all of us don't have directors yet, I don't necessarily
34:41
think, but every government department has a faith center. And in those centers, there are opportunities for
34:48
life skills training, life skills training.
34:53
That's very necessary in the pregnancy careers as well while helping the mother
34:59
and also the father. They're inviting them in now to see what their role is, grandparents, everyone. uh how to
35:08
finish school, GED or finish school, how to balance the checkbook, how to eat nutritionally, all those kinds of things
35:15
are all those kinds of services are available at your center and they are
35:20
becoming more and more available without restrictions and so please go and explore and look
35:28
for those kinds of activities in all the department. Okay. Well, that's great to know. um our
35:34
our pregnancy center, we have written curriculum that's um life skills and
35:40
risk avoidance curriculum for middle school age and up. So that's wonderful to hear
35:47
and even with the department of agriculture, our 4 and um future departments of America and all that
35:54
because I I'll propose this to you. If if young people have confidence, they
35:59
feel that they're loved, that they're beautiful, that they have opportunities ahead of them, and uh don't be worrying
36:06
about relationships and boyfriend, girlfriend, and all that right now. You will do that. Take your time, but let's
36:13
get you solid right now. And uh get them in those kinds of programs and then you
36:18
still would have that kind of information available um to them at those centers as well. And that would go
36:25
a long way in helping us not to become engaged in those behaviors that are harmful.
36:30
Right. That was our thoughts behind it as well. Get to the root of the issue the best we can.
36:37
Yes. I'm gonna have to hang up in a couple of minutes. I do apologize because I did
36:44
start late because I couldn't get the work. Uh but because we have maybe a final question. Um,
36:52
you know, and wherever I go, I I was over in our media and I was small
36:57
children. I saw this little remembering that reminding them that
37:03
they are life. They have they have promise ahead and all of this trauma.
37:10
They're so sorry for it. Uh, but we can move along together and make it work
37:15
out. Um, yeah. So, oh, uh, we have some
37:22
applause. Um, so I guess in our, oh, wait, a hand up or no, is it hand or an
37:29
applause? Let's see here. One second. Let me see if I can um
37:35
with the question. We're caught up. Okay, I think we're caught up. Uh I
37:41
think as our final question would be um Alvida would you um close out this
37:47
webinar with a prayer as we join in and pray with you.
37:53
Father in the name of Jesus we are very grateful that uh things have happened
37:58
like Roie Wade is no longer are lost that uh faith is now available in every
38:07
department or by government the church has survived CO and the doors
38:13
are opening in all these things Lord and then even with the uh assassination of
38:19
Charlie for example very very terrorizing But they're on the whole earth is still
38:26
filled with your glory. The pregnancy care center leader who are on the line
38:32
today that they'll be strengthened with might in their inner man that the eyes of their understanding will be
38:38
continually enlightened. That they can know and share with others the hope of
38:43
the calling in the gospel of Jesus Christ. That we are blessed according to Psalms 103 led according to Psalms 23.
38:52
protected according to Psalms 91. The blood of Jesus, the blessing of Abraham
38:58
be upon us and be glorified, heavenly father, in the name of Jesus, by the
39:03
power of your holy spirit. Amen. Amen.
39:10

39:16
