Scott Klusendorf founded the Life Training Institute to
train pro-lifers to effectively get our message across, with the goal of saving
lives. Scott works with the youth – specifically Catholics and
Protestants, and anyone else who wants to work to save life, to make a case for
life in the public square. He focuses on going into Catholic and Protestant
high schools, as well as doing assemblies, classes and presentations that
communicate the moral logic of the Pro-Life view. He teaches the students
how to argue persuasively for the pro-life view using science and philosophy.
If you are interested in learning how you can more clearly defend LIFE, please
contact Peter at (248) 202-4903 for more information.
On Friday, May 31st there will be a training session with Scott Klusendorf, founder of the Life

The Pill Kills 2013 Campaign - June, 1, 2013 - We
will once again have a peaceful, prayerful presence in front of the Planned
Parenthood clinics in Ann Arbor (Stadium Dr. and Professional Dr.) and
Ypsilanti (Maus Rd.) on this first Saturday of
June. If you are interested in holding signs and/or handing out
literature about the detrimental effects of the pill at one of the 3 PP clinics
in Ann Arbor or Ypsilanti, please contact me (Paul -40daysannarbor@gmail.com).
Ongoing: Even though we
are between 40 Days for Life campaigns, the handful of year-round prayer
friends and sidewalk counselors could use support through prayer and fasting at home and/or work, prayerful
witness at Planned Parenthood (3100 Professional Dr., Ann Arbor) and help with
reaching out to PP clients. If you can help in
any of these ways, please contact me (Paul - 40daysannarbor@gmail.com).
Lives can truly be saved through your efforts!
Ongoing: Invite a Life Training
