My July newsletter tells what happened there and how one good thing that came of it was a sound bite that is still making an impact on how people think about abortion 13 years later. The short letter, Ten […]

JFA @ UCLA
Here’s the scene at UCLA’s Bruin Walk on JFA’s second day of outreach in early June. JFA staff and volunteers set up five tables inviting people to dialogue with us (one of them is down the walk to the left of the frame).

A Slice in Time
When I reviewed the photos from JFA’s recent outreach event at the University of Kansas, I was especially encouraged and struck by the photo above. My brief May newsletter decodes the photo, discusses why it’s special, and explains JFA’s passion for…More Conversations.

Most of us have fears about discussing abortion. Corrie was no different. She recently attended a mission trip that JFA led for Christian Heritage Academy‘s Salt and Light program.

“Better than Saying Nothing”
Volunteer Charity Boaz had planned “to let others do the talking.” Seeing a young man looking at the Justice For All Exhibit alone, though, caused her to gather up her courage. Afterwards, she wrote, I decided someone had to talk to him, and it looked like it was going to be me. I was so […]
