June is a great month for celebration!

“God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9b
At the heart of Lutherans For Life is Good News -- Good News that brings hope to a culture so focused on death:
- Abortion destroys nearly 3,000 children every day.
- Imposed death through assisted suicide and euthanasia threatens to destroy our elderly and disabled with or without their permission.
- Bio-technologies such as embryonic stem cell research, cloning, in vitro fertilization, and genetic manipulation can challenge God's Authorship and Lordship of life.
- Take a stand with God's Word of Law and call wrong things wrong.
- Share God's Word of Gospel, the Good News of life in Jesus, so people will know they have someone they can trust in every situation -- someone to turn to for hope and healing when mistakes are made.
- Applies God's Word, both His Law and His Gospel, to all the life issues -- abortion, chastity, assisted suicide and euthanasia, and bio-technology.
- Assists For Life Christians in offering the hope and help of the Good News of Jesus Christ to women with an untimely pregnancy; women, men, and families suffering under the guilt of an abortion; young people with questions and concerns about sexuality; and the elderly and those with disabilities or terminal illnesses.
- Believes God gives the gift of life to all people -- from the moment of conception until natural death.
“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
March for Life
Once a year in January, we march around the Capitol in Austin, Texas, to be a voice for the innocent lives that have no voice. We listen to speakers' firsthand accounts of survival, stories of grief, redemption, and from those who make a difference in government and society providing valuable resources for women, children, and their families. We sing, we pray, and we come away inspired by the Holy Spirit to defend our most basic right, LIFE.
This rally is organized by Texas Right to Life, who keeps us informed about legislation specific to Texas.

Blue Buses
We support the Houston Coalition For Life, whose Blue Buses bring hope and support to women in crisis pregnancy. Much of our fund-raising efforts go to providing medical services, counseling, classes, baby blankets, diapers, food, and household needs for these families. Building a network of organizations devoted to saving lives is crucial in a big city community as diverse as Houston.
Stand & Pray
Our devotion to standing in public and peacefully praying for an end to abortion has saved hundreds of babies and mothers, as well as leading abortion workers from their jobs to close numerous abortion facilities. We pray because God's gift of life to people is precious in His sight, in all stages -- from womb to tomb.
Your life is valuable.
