Alan Shlemon
Speaker - Stand to Reason
“Justice For All (JFA) is one of the few organizations doing the work of systematically training pro-life people how to persuasively, yet graciously engage those sympathetic to abortion. JFA goes beyond head knowledge by creating opportunities to practice the art of pro-life persuasion with real people who disagree with you. They don’t just throw you out on your own but guide you every step of the way. This is what real training looks like.” (2024)

Spencer Stewart
Teacher - Veritas Christian School
“It obviously interrupts the flow and takes a chunk of time away from our regular content, but I believe it is worth it, without a doubt. In terms of scope and severity, I consider abortion to be the greatest injustice on the planet, and God’s people are called to partner with Him in seeking justice, especially for the weakest and most vulnerable among us. With this issue, I believe partnering with Justice For All is the best way to do that, especially because they also work to connect students who are considering abortion (or who need healing from one) with local pregnancy care centers. We are wired to be heroes, and we can literally save lives at these outreaches, and in our daily walk, once we have been prepared in this way. I pray that more and more churches and schools will open themselves up to be blessed by JFA and equipped for life on mission.” (2018)

Chris Haynes
College Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church (Norman, Oklahoma)
"It is just a clump of cells. It is not a baby. My body, my right! Have you ever wanted to know how to respond in a loving, Biblical way to these questions? Have you ever wanted to train your group, youth, college students, or church? Let me suggest you contact Justice for All (JFA). This group has been training hundreds of people for years in the tactics of speaking the truth in love about the issue of abortion. I know of no other group that does such an outstanding job of training and then guiding teams of people through the actual process of dialogue. If you have one day and JFA training [team] comes close to you, don’t miss the opportunity. Our church and specifically college students have been equipped to now be on campus and have meaningful, life changing conversations.” (2015)

"JFA is the most effective pro-life training organization I have ever worked with in my thirty years of pro-life work."

"I really do feel like I got to do what Jesus would have done."
- Allan Taylor (Associate Pastor, First Baptist Church Woodstock), 2010
“I have met with Justice For All and give my support to their mission in changing minds and hearts of the young on the most critical issue facing our society today...The medical and emotional consequences of abortion are shown in a loving and non-condemning manner...”
- Archbishop Chaput (Denver Archdiocese), 2008
“I have watched students feel the tug of the Holy Spirit as they minister to someone who is obviously hurting from their own wounds of abortion. They love in word, action, and tone of voice. As long as God makes this relationship available we will continue to support and partner with JFA - watching God’s hand work in the lives of young people.”
- Chris Leland (Director, Focus on the Family Institute), 2008
