Pray Warriors and Counselors
Why are these clumped together?
You need them both.
Additionally, often times the Prayer Warriors become Counselors.
Where/How do we find them?
Church
1) Advertising in Church Bulletins - Unless the ads are placed
repeatedly they are unsuccessful and will yield few regardless.
2) Face-to-Face - There is nothing that compares to looking about
the church to see someone that remains to pray following a church service or comes
early to pray. This is a Special Christian. Simply coming up to this person and
introducing yourself is a good beginning. Let them know how much their help is needed
in whatever way they feel comfortable - Possibly they have something special to offer
that can be expressed as a need (a language skill etc). Then extend a personal invitation -
This will provide a “life saver”
3) Prayer groups can be a big help - Prayer groups generally meet
weekly - Invite them to meet and pray at the abortuary once a month or weekly. Their
appearance may be strong initially and diminish. Regardless, there will be one or more
that will see the need (be called) and return, group or no group.
4) Search for a Leader - A Minister, Priest, or Ministry Leader -
Encourage this individual to become involved. The others will follow. Suppose their
commitments do not allow them to become involved? Commit them to motivating and encouraging
others to come (especially groups in which they are involved).
5) Does your church have a ministry that is related? (Help for single
moms or babies? Or other related ministry?) Make a presentation encouraging their involvement.
6) Does your church have a Pro-Life Ministry? New church members previously
involved in pro-life work will contact that office. Make sure your name is on a contact list
for those interested in pro-life activities.
7) Exhausted your church? Hey, there are others. Search for other churches
to become involved. A Church Member, Leader, or Minister may be helpful.
Synagogues
We have requested that Rabbis and some from local synagogues become involved-
We have found Orthodox Jews are Pro-Life. Orthodox Jews will not come to an abortuary on their
Sabbath (Sat) The Reform; in all probability will not share our pro-life view.
Colleges
Some College Fraternities or Sororities will promote community services as
well as some colleges themselves. There may be a group on campus with a related interest.
Additionally, college students maybe motivated to come as a research paper or project. Advertise
in the college newsletter/newspaper. Additionally, let them know that you are available for
presentations or workshops. As part of the presentation extend invitations to come to the
abortuary for practical experience or observation. In this way, you have educated a new
generation and one or more will come regularly In whatever you do, persevere!
