33 Testimonies
This
year’s Project33 rally went very well. Our goal was to reach
Roseville and surrounding communities. We had the biggest
turn out ever to the clinic outreaches. Over 70 people attended
the first one at the Wright St. Clinic and over 100 people
went to the Show the Truth on Sunrise Blvd near Planned
Parenthood. Many people in the Roseville area are excited
about getting involved and helping in anyway possible. This
year was a BIG success and we hope next year will be even
more successful. Many thanks to all of the people involved
who helped make Project33 happen!

As
I drove up Cirby Way on that cold, overcast morning, I anticipated
the site, but it still took my breath away: on the lawn
of Foothill Community Church facing the street, stood 900
solemn white crosses. As I turned into the parking lot,
I read the large sign posted out front; the 900 crosses
stood as memorials for the 45 million aborted babies. The
event I had come to the church to participate in was Project
33, a commemorative memorial on the 32 nd anniversary of
Roe V. Wade. The two-day event drew almost 1,000 people
between the memorial service and youth rally. Manning the
Teens For Life information table and helping behind the
scenes, I could see that the pastors, congregations, and
youth were stirred up by the cause to end abortion and the
event was a great success. Testimonies brought tears, speakers
inspired, and I believe everyone left the church with renewed
resolve to stop the murder of innocent children in America
.

Testimonies
I
remember wanting to be in Teens for Life when it was first
getting started, but I was too young. I went to a
few events with my dad over the years, but didn’t really
start attending on a regular basis until the beginning of
2004. When I started coming more I became passionate
about abortion and soaked in all the information I could.
I made several friends, and knew that I was around people
who genuinely cared. My heart was broken for the unborn;
I had a passion for the pro-life cause. I decided it was
well worth my time to be dedicated to the group, people,
and the unborn babies. The experiences I’ve had so
far have definitely helped me grow spiritually, and have
put me out of my comfort zone in a good way. God has
definitely worked in my life for and through Teens for Life.

Teens
for Life is one of the most awesome things in which I have
ever been involved. It has changed my perspective on life
and how I relate to hurting people, my peers, children,
babies, and adults. I think I have become more sensitive
to people who are hurting. People who walk by and see our
signs and are seeing them for the first time are shocked,
scared, and sometimes angry; some start to cry, while others
look away. These people deserve compassion and understanding.
I am learning to pray for my enemies and anyone and everyone
I see. God has touched my heart in so many ways since I
got involved with teens for life.
The
Spirit of the teens in the group is so different from any
other group of people I have ever met. Their compassion
and love for the lost and other Christians is so Christ-like.
Their respect for their elders and for the opposite sex
was such a new thing for me. Being able to relate to the
opposite sex in Teens for Life as a brother or sister in
Christ and not as a potential boyfriend or girlfriend, is
helping me to grow as a Christian.
I
thank God every day for Teens for Life. My experience with
the group has helped me to learn to think and to explain
the truth to others logically. I’ve learned great life skills
I will never lose!

God
has used Teens for Life in my life in so many ways. When
I first started attending, it was so wonderful to see so
many other teens just like me who shared my desire to honor
God and stand up for the unborn. Being a part of Teens for
life has also convicted me even more to live up to 1 Timothy
4:12 (the Teens for Life motto): "Do not let anyone
look down on you because you are young, but set an example
for the believers in speech, life, love, faith and purity."
The
amazing people I have met in Tene sfor Life are one of the
best gifts from God that He has ever given me. They are
constantly uplifting, teaching, encouraging and reminding
me of what really matters. My prayer is that my life with
Teens for Life will be a mirror of my life decision: I have
decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.
