Light in the midst of darkness...

I call it volunteer work, but along with my awesome friends, every Tuesday we hit the streets of NYC...more specifically, in front of Dr. Emily's Womens Medical Clinic.
Me in front of Dr. Emily's.
What do we do? We speak to girls going in the clinic, and tell them that there is another option: LIFE for their baby, whether they want to keep or adopt..we give them a free sonogram, and if needed, provide them with free clothes for the baby, diapers, strollers, you name it.At the end of the day, we don't get paid, we get screamed at by the clinic escorts, and told we can make better use of our time; but I get to see a lot of girls relieved that they didn't choose death for their baby. I get to see hope in their eyes, I get to see beautiful babies being loved by their mommies!
The "team". Going around from left to right: Me, Kevin,
James, Laura L., Noemi, Ashley, Masiel, Laura O., and Karla
That's why it's not work to me. Together with the volunteers from my church, I'm being the only ray of light in the midst of a dark, dark culture, where a Life is disregarded in the name of choice. I'm doing God's will for my life, and He has plans for all of us. He's doing something great in this ministry and more info on that will be posted soon.
