Prayer Focus for St. Croix Valley Christians for Life



For the Christian, prayer is like breathing. We need it every moment of every day, yet we don't often think about it. Paul encourages us with these words "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1Thess.. 5:16


Prayer needs:

God's direction and guidance in developing the Ability First ministry

Individuals to come forward from all local churches to serve as liaisons to SCVCFL

Formation of a financial development team

Wisdom and discernment for our executive director and board members

Personal boldness for each of us to take a stand on pro-life issues in our community and our nation



"I urge then, first of all, that requests , prayers intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." 1 Timothy 1:1-2


Thank you for praying! To God be the glory!

Life is Precious

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to be told that life is precious. The appalling nature of human devaluation and egocentrism of our time are clear indicators that we are living in a period of moral decay and compromise where life is becoming less and less appreciated and protected.

As all these happens, we are all wondering what legacy will be left to our future generations. Is there anything that we can do, in particular as followers of Christ to be a voice that promotes the sanctity of human life?

Can we, in the midst of our over-advertized culture, personal biases and convictions still encourage informed and open minds on matters of life and godliness?

The belief that every human life is created in the image of God including the unborn, mentally disabled, aged, dying and those that society views as unattractive should give us an unwavering reason to defend all life.

Importantly, our voice should be accompanied by love and wisdom, courage and humility on behalf of the defenseless and vulnerable who have no one else to speak and care for.

As we do this, let’s trust God for eternal transformation in the lives of those that we come into contact with because this is the ultimate goal of all Christian service.

I therefore, invite you to join me and others to be a voice that champions for the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death.


It’s possible!
