A Story You Must Read!


Tomorrow is "Sanctity of Human Life Sunday" across America. In the infamous Roe v. Wade decision of January 1973, abortion was legalized in America. Pro lifers everywhere will be calling attention to the millions of unborn Americans whose lives have been snuffed out in what should be the safest place on earth - their mother's womb.

I thought it would be nice to share a powerful "first person" story with you from someone who nearly missed being the victim of a terminated pregnancy. Ronnie Hill is a Baptist evangelist from Fort Worth, Texas. He was the product of the rape of his 17 year old mother. She was advised to have an abortion but decided she could not stop the beating heart of the life she was carrying.

This story is powerful enough that I am including it as a stuffer in our church bulletin tomrrow. For those of you who will not be at the church, or did not see it in SBC Life, I am including the link here for you to read it yourself. An added bonus to our students at WBC and around the churches of the West Virginia Convention of Southern Baptists is that Ronnie Hill (the author and subject of the article) will be the key speaker at the State Youth Evangelism Conference set for next Friday and Saturday at Cross Lanes Baptist Church.

Check out the article by clicking on the following link, and feel free to pass it on to everyone you know.

Only God knows the full impact of what has been lost in the 35 years that Roe v. Wade has allowed wholesale infanticide in America.
