A student named Corrie shared this short summary of JFA’s training program back in 2015:
I loved the training and the outreach. I feel like the training prepared me well for the outreach. I was terrified to talk to anyone and made a goal to talk to just one person. Once I talked to one, I couldn't stop. I realized they're just people.
Imagine for a moment that every follower of Christ caught Corrie’s vision of talking to pro-choice advocates, seeing that “they’re just people” and “I need to talk to them.” Imagine that every follower of Christ also caught hold of Corrie’s feeling that “I can talk to anyone.”
How did Corrie get to this place? In partnership with Christian Heritage Academy, we prepared her and went with her to a college campus, where she “made a goal to talk to just one person.”
That’s why we build this goal into every in-person seminar, every online workshop session, and every outreach event we create: we want every follower of Christ to have the experience of talking to just one person. Then we’re confident he or she will say, along with Corrie, “Once I talked to one, I couldn’t stop.” If Christians would “talk to one” and then find they “cannot stop” talking to all of the people in their sphere of influence, public opinion on abortion could shift very quickly.
Thanks for praying with us and for partnering with us as we train each one to talk to one!
