EDITOR’S COMMENTS
Defenders of the Unborn can’t express the gratitude to you for your support to help these moms keep their baby. Without your help my task would be next to impossible.
As 2015 comes to a close I look forward to working with you in 2016. We have much to do and together we will do great things. These great things are only accomplished through the hand of God. As He leads me I ask that you walk with us to bring an end to the senseless killing of the most precious little ones.
Defenders of the Unborn has taken the theme for this coming year–
BE NOT AFRAID– God will lead us and if we become weary He will carry us.
God bless you and may the New Year bring you peace and joy.

Help Needed
Defenders of the Unborn has been growing in support from across the state. It has become apparent that we need to add help to our staff.
We are looking for someone willing to help in the office a few hours a week. As things grow it will lead to a paying job.
I am having a difficult time keeping up with the girls that I support. Each month I call them to make sure things are going okay. As of late that has not been possible. So our staff has made the decision to look for someone to help in the office. We would like for that person to have some computer and filing skills. Nothing too hard.
I have not been able to maintain my presence at the death camp due to other obligations. We are wanting to free up some of the office work so that I can continue to offer help to moms in a crisis pregnancy.
Please contact Mary if you feel you are able to help.
314-346-9052 or email–

We also want to expand our sidewalk training. Many have shown an interest in learning our technique of counseling. There is really no right technique but only the desire to save the baby.
We are looking for a new office in the Maryland Heights/Bridgeton area. If you have contact with anyone who has an office to rent please contact us.
Much to do and so few hands to do it. But with God in the lead we will over come.
Upcoming Events

It is sponsored by the Freedom of Choice Council of Greater St. Louis. Please join Defenders of the Unborn expose them for what they really support. The death of an unborn child.

Since 2009 it has been reported that ambulances have been at Planned Parenthood to transport a woman who has been injured in an abortion. On the last day of 2015 an ambulance arrived at this location to take a woman to an area hospital. We ask for your prayers for this woman and her family.
We ask that you join with Defenders of the Unborn in 2016, to bring an end to the senseless killing of the unborn child and the harming of the woman. Remember:
Be Not Afraid - God will lead you!
