Saving Babies and Saving Souls

By Mary Koeberl Rechenberg

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart: Jerimiah 1:5a NIV

St. John’s Lutheran Church in Pocahontas, Missouri will hold a “Trivia Night” March 17, 2023 at 6:30 pm to raise money to support Pre-Born! Saving babies and saving souls.

Pre-Born! Is a national organization whose ministry is leading, equipping, serving and operating pregnancy clinics to save lives and souls. Serving as a grant maker to clinics all over the country providing new ultrasound machines, free resources, training and much more through Christ-centered and mission focused programs the results are amazing.

As of their 15th anniversary in 2021 a total of 180 clinics had been established across the nation, including one at Lees Summit, Mo and more recently in St. Louis, Mo. Pre-Born! has had the most significant presence in the highest abortion states: California, New York, Texas, Florida and Illinois.

Because of supporter’s generous help, the lives of 44,849 babies were saved in 2021. According to Dan Steiner, president of Pre-Born! “Most of these expectant mothers had been pressured by their mother, boy friend or circumstances into a decision they would have regretted for the rest of their lives. By underwriting free ultrasound sessions, evangelism sessions, free ultrasound machines and prayer 8,796 women received Christ as their Lord and Savior in 2021. Sharing the gospel is the highest motivating purpose for Pre-Born!”

Pre-Born! is committed to providing the power of the ultrasound to save lives. More than 200 machines were placed in 2012. In 2021, 52 machines were placed. Over 100,000 ultrasound scans have been provided as of 2021. According to Pre-Born! statistics, only 40 per cent of vulnerable women, contemplating abortion choose life without an ultrasound. However, 80 per cent of women vulnerable to abortion choose life with an ultrasound. Clinics that are eligible to receive a machine must be committed to serving abortion-minded patients as priority and be committed to sharing Jesus Christ with every client.
