We hear a lot of pushback from the world that we should mind our own business and not intercede for these women - that this is a private matter between the woman and her doctor.

We believe that women need hope, help, and healing before, during, and after pregnancy. The support from the community of believers has been incredibly uplifting for our team at Seneca. The presence of the prayer partners during this campaign for 40 Days for Life has been an inspiration as well! We are eternally grateful to those of you who attended our Gala and are joining us for prayer on the frontlines.
