"Pro-Life Youth Share Horror Stories" - Our Time in Washington

-
Hey! It's Rachel again. Of course, you already knew that because I'm the only one writing this blog. Once every month I'll share an update that's more formal, but as I can, I'll also write whatever has been happening or something that is on my mind. 
If you read these regularly, you can tell what is a regular update and what is a informal post. This is the latter. 

 Last week I talked to a friend who wanted to know how our week in Washington was. I didn't know where to start. 
Then I read a great article (click on the title below) that shared stories from myself and 5 of my colleagues:

A ‘male feminist called me a piece of s***’: pro-life youth share horror stories from Women’s March

“The feminists I saw … both male and female, rejected both of the virtues belonging to their respective sexes,” he said. “I saw women yelling shrilly at others, calling them nasty names and one even [attempted] to sexually assault my colleague. [I saw] women who had no respect for others but plenty of remorseless contempt for other women who didn't align with their views absolutely. Many had no compassion for the women and men they were intentionally trying to hurt with all manner of vulgar names and degrading remarks.” - Sam Riley


This video exposes some of what we are up against...

 Where would I be but for the AMAZING grace of my Savior? 
On the other side of the doors to the abortion facilities; With the mobs of people who are shouting in the face of Christians; Spitting on those who defend defenseless people that I wouldn't care about... The list goes on!
When I know that only ONE thing keeps me from becoming the people I attempt to reach, and that ONE thing is a gift that I received of NONE of my own accord: I am brought to my knees in gratefulness. 

If anyone reading this does not know of the gift I refer to, the grace of God, if you do not know the King that I serve, I pray that you will come to know Him. 
Find me on Facebook and message me, or contact Created Equal HERE through our website and ask for me. I'd love to share with you. Blessings!

Curing Misconceptions About Abortion

“ Thank you for clearing it up, because there were a lot of misconceptions I had about abortion .”   – Travis, Eastern Kentucky University Bystanders see what abortion does to the preborn babies on our JumboTron TV while they overhear our conversations. Travis first said he was kind of indifferent on the issue of abortion. I was able to share some information with him, and ask if he had any questions.  “I think you’re really starting to clear up everything about it… you covered it pretty good.”   As we shook hands and he walked away, he said:  “ Thank you for clearing it up, because there were a lot of misconceptions I had about abortion.”  My colleague Sam winsomely draws protesters in conversation everywhere we go – he’s like a magnet for our opposition – and they listen! This month I joined our travelling team on the road in Kentucky for three days, and had some great conversations. I know many of you are not able to join us during an out...

A Crazy Week in Washington

“…And such were some of you.” I Cor. 6:11 These words went through my mind, and I turned away from the rest of our team as tears began to drip down my face. I was thinking of how merciful God has been to me, the redemption I have experienced, and how lavishly He has poured out His grace on me.  This took place while our team was in D.C. at the Women’s March on Washington. After a turbulent day of outreach, we were heading out and our group had stopped to let the rest of our team catch up with us. As I looked across the masses, one thing that they all had in common struck me: they were all hurt and without hope of healing.  It started to make sense: their anger, violence, and hatred. They are a lost people, reacting to their wounds in the only way they know how. Christ is our healer, and people without Christ are also without healing. Upon this realization, I’m increasingly challenged to reach out to the hurting/wounded people around me and share the hope that we have in ou...

December 2016 - Reflection

This month I have been reflecting over what has happened in 2016, and the best word that comes to mind is: blessed . I’m blessed with an amazing family. I’m blessed with a job that I am not only passionate about, but also one that I love. I’m blessed with like-minded colleagues who love each other – they really have become some of the best friends I have. I am blessed with a Godly team of friends who stand with me, pray for me, and donate to support my work. I am humbled. Back in December of 2015, God was preparing my heart to move away from home to Columbus to do His work with Created Equal. Since then I have grown so much personally--in my walk with God, in my faith, in my ability to defend my beliefs, and many other ways. One opportunity I’ve had to share Christ was when I approached a homeless man at a laundromat. He had been using the laundromat phone to call someone and was telling them that he was going to turn himse...
