When Sidewalk Advocates everywhere step to the sidewalk of the abortion facility to serve, they carry the light of Christ, always ready to minister to the true physical and spiritual needs of those they encounter. They do this with great kindness and compassion -- but is that always immediately clear to the people they encounter? How can we make love visible?

There’s a quiet truth we learn on the sidewalk and in life: God PROVIDES … but often not in the way or timing we expect. The hardest days, the most uncertain moments, are often the very places God is working the most behind the scenes. Join Lauren as she dives deeper into this Power Thought that will sustain you even through periods of spiritual desert. 

Every time Sidewalk Advocates go out to the sidewalk in front of an abortion or abortion-referral facility, we step out in faith, we go with an expectant attitude of joy and hope. What does that look like -- and how can you carry that spirit with you into the world, whatever you are doing? Don't miss Lauren's inspirational Power Thought this week.

With your help and God’s amazing grace, thus far, Sidewalk Advocates for Life has accomplished so much…
Over 230 sidewalk locations
Nearly 26,000 babies saved
109 workers who have left the business…
And 71 facility closures
Find out how you can help us reach our next milestone!

A Detroit ordinance criminalizes peaceful, life-affirming speech outside abortion facilities -- so Sidewalk Advocates for Life is challenging it in court. Women facing an unexpected pregnancy deserve to hear that free ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, and real support are available to them -- and with Thomas More Society, we will not stop fighting until every Sidewalk Advocate is free to deliver that message.

It's so easy to be bold and outspoken ... from the safety of an app or your computer keyboard. But before you share your opinion, criticize someone or something, or take an audacious stand on an issue, ask yourself: would you say that same thing, the same way you're planning to say it ... to the person you're lambasting? Face to face? Lauren points out that -- as believers -- we're called to a higher standard, in real life and in cyberspace.
