January19, 2025 2pm-3:30pm @ First Baptist Church, 649 Crater Lake Ave., Medford

After an introduction to the event, we’ll pray, then present a certificate to Jackson County Commissioner, Colleen Roberts, our “Pro Life Champion of the Year”.  

The speakers will be next. Each will have 10-12 minutes to address an aspect of the Right to Life movement they feel God has put on their heart.

Dan Mickelson, Pastor of New Song Church; topic “The Passionate Catalysts that have Driven the Pro-Life Movement” a review of the history of abortion/life in our country.
Mark Lounsbury, Pastor of Valley Bible Fellowship; topic: “Truth Matters”, will be referencing Family Research Council’s work and speaking on apologetics for believers & sanctity of human life. He will reference Psalm 139, and other scripture pertinent to the topic.
Craig Rodenmayer, Pastor of Lifegate Church; topic: “Inborn Value of the Unborn”. He will discuss the Theology of Values regarding the protection of human life at all ages and stages.
Pastor Xavier Brasseur, The Story Church; topic: “What am I? Known by God!” He will discuss what it means to be human, and the Biblical mandate to be Pro-Life.
Beth Sheets, Executive Director of The Pregnancy Center; topic “Forgiven and Set Free”. She will discuss the mental and emotional forgiveness and healing available In Christ for men and women who have participated in abortion. An 8-week class, one for men and one for women, deals with these issues.
From about 3:00pm to 3:30pm our speakers will field questions from the audience regarding their presentations. My cell number and instructions for texting questions during the presentation will be included on the “Order of Events” page each attendee receives. I will ask the questions of the panel.
​
Tables will be set up in the entry area beginning at 1:30pm; presenters should plan to be there around 1:45 for seating, etc. This event is not a fundraiser, though donations are always welcome. It is free to the public and we hope you will come and bring a friend; an amazing opportunity to hear from our pastors and Beth, all of whom we associate with saving babies’ lives! There will be 3 Tables: one from JCRTL, one for The Pregnancy Center, and one for Youth 71.5 Ministries.

Stand For Life Rally Past Events:
One of the most somber, significant dates on the pro-life calendar is January  22nd, the anniversary of the US Supreme Court Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions, which have had the effect of legalizing elective abortion through all 9 months of pregnancy, since 1973.
For those of you in the Medford area, we meet on the steps of the Jackson County Justice Building  (rain or shine) for a one hour rally in which we find encouragement in each other and make a public statement that those millions of unborn babies, whose lives were cut short, will not be forgotten.
Proverbs 31:8 tells us to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves…your attendance puts action to this command at a time when public sentiment seems to be swinging our way!
