This week Lauren shares a short Power Thought about the next Law of Life Summit, which Sidewalk Advocates for Life is hosting August 1 in Denver -- uniting people from all across Colorado and beyond to create a culture of life in their communities. sidewalkadvocates.org/law 

We are called to be faithful, not successful -- and nowhere is that message made clearer than on the sidewalk outside an abortion or abortion-referral facility. Our role is not to control the outcome. Our role is to show up, to be present, and to be faithful in the small things! Don't miss this week's encouraging Power Thought with Lauren. 

Lauren recently guested on Teresa Tomeo's EWTN show, Catholic Connection, to talk about why sidewalk advocacy works, how Sidewalk Advocates have helped save nearly 26,000 women, families, and babies from abortion, and celebrating 12 years of loving outreach to women in crisis! Enjoy this snippet from the full conversation.

When Sidewalk Advocates everywhere step to the sidewalk of the abortion facility to serve, they carry the light of Christ, always ready to minister to the true physical and spiritual needs of those they encounter. They do this with great kindness and compassion -- but is that always immediately clear to the people they encounter? How can we make love visible?

There’s a quiet truth we learn on the sidewalk and in life: God PROVIDES … but often not in the way or timing we expect. The hardest days, the most uncertain moments, are often the very places God is working the most behind the scenes. Join Lauren as she dives deeper into this Power Thought that will sustain you even through periods of spiritual desert.
