The Chattanooga music festival, Riverbend is hosting Stephen Curtis Chapman in concert on Tuesday, June 9,2009. Our ministry is hosting a booth to introduce the public to The National Memorial for the Unborn. A youth group from Abba's House Church will be giving out brochures and I'll have an opportunity to meet the public and sign books.
Then on June 19 at 7 p.m. there will be an open house and book signing at the Wall on Vance Road as we host a Praise Night. Ann Caldwell and I are so thankful for the opportunity to share the message of our Savior's forgiveness through the book Empty Arms. But we did not realize God's vision when it was published. Not only has it been a voice to those who are hurting after an abortion but reminded young people not to choose a path that seems to be an easy escape but turns into years of regret. We are also very thankful that the book is in the 2nd printing and through the internet has touched lives in Belarus, Kenya, China and the Czech Republic. The impact of our book, Empty Arms, Remembering the Unborn is far beyond the limited scope we had as we were readying the manuscript for the publisher three years ago!
Lifting our voices together in worship to Jesus at all the healing that has taken place on the very spot where an abortion clinic once stood is the right response to His faithfulness.
Our director, Carol Martin has taken young couples who are considering an abortion to read the plaques placed on the Wall. To see the remorse and regret up close is a powerful reminder to slow down and remember this is a baby's life that you are considering ending.
"Save me from bloodguilt,
O God, the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness!"
Psalm 51:14
