“Is Kristi pregnant?” . . . .That was never a question I expected my pastor and friend to ever ask me over the phone on a Sunday afternoon after we arrived home from church the morning of April 22nd, 2018. I thought, if my 18 year old daughter was pregnant, he would have heard it […]
I wish every Black American would have a chance to live overseas. I have lived in Africa, Germany, Dubai and in many Caribbean Countries. America with all its flaws is indeed the greatest country on Earth, because in the U.S. you can achieve anything if you are willing to educate yourself, work hard and have […]

It wasn’t until the […]
I didn’t know I was lost until I was saved and I had no idea that the path I was living could nearly result in another person dying. I am Kirk Barker and I am the founder of Cameron’s Chance Pro-life Advocacy. I went from being a non-believer, to a believer, to a follower of Christ […]
After the trauma of rape, Save The 1 moms experience unexpected joy. There are a number of reasons, but one of the biggest is made possible by generous donors, like you. We thank you. Donors make it possible for new rape survivors to find us and to engage in a community of others who truly […]
