In this Impact Report, we feature highlights from Justice For All (JFA) events that took place from March to September. Each highlighted event illustrates the way smaller training teams can help us make a bigger impact. We’ve found that empowering our trainers to do events on their own helps our team to be nimble and ready to meet the great need all over the country for good dialogue training—training that includes outreach whenever possible.
This month we report on a different kind of impact that God has created through JFA, specifically through the work of our office manager, Eva Heath. This is the story of the impact God produces through human beings many have written off because of their circumstances or disabilities. It’s also the story of one woman’s testimony that even if we can’t see the good that God is bringing from difficulties right now, we must hope in Him, loving every human being precisely because each person is made in the image of God. We bid a fond farewell to you this month, Eva, and we trust God will care for you in the new chapter of your retirement!
We will be conducting outreach in the DC area on April 24-25. If you’re interested in participating, please submit the JFA Contact Form to receive more details.
See our calendar page for two interactive workshops scheduled to help prepare DC-area pro-life advocates for these events: An in-person Love3 Workshop on April 23 in Warrenton, Virginia, and a special online Love3 workshop April 17-19. Both events are free! Register using the link below.
I just sent this to our email list:
As I thought about how to remind you to give a year-end gift to help JFA make abortion unthinkable one person at a time, I thought I'd point you to five collections of easy-to-digest conversation stories available for free on our website, like all of our other resources. These collections follow the train of thought of JFA's acclaimed "Abortion: From Debate to Dialogue" seminar.
I'm confident these will both encourage and equip you, and I hope you'll partner with JFA today by giving a generous gift!

Amanda with Kim's Baby
After twenty minutes with a JFA trainer, Amanda shared a JFA Brochure with a friend who decided not to kill her child ("Lucy" in the photo). After one hour in a presentation with a JFA trainer last month, Emma and her sister went to talk to kids in the park. Their mom said,
They said that a few of the things you said gave them the confidence to go ahead and give it a try.
In my June letter you can read how these stories remind me that we cannot wait for everyone to find two days to participate in JFA's flagship training program, and that everyone can benefit from two additional offerings: our presentations and our new "Learn at Home" program. JFA can't wait to use these opportunities to activate...More Advocates.
Or, don't wait to read the letter. Go directly to our new "Learn at Home" program. In just one hour, it will equip you to...Change Minds on Abortion.
