Tuesday marked the beginning of the legislative session and that morning almost 100 people joined Minnesota Family Council in the Capitol rotunda to pray for our lawmakers and the great state of Minnesota! Pastor Jeff Evans, Director of Minnesota’s Church Ambassador Network (CAN) also announced that CAN would be giving personalized bibles to each legislator. Check out the video here. What a great start to the session! As we kick things off at the Capitol, it’s important to remember why the legislative session matters.
It is during the legislative session that our elected leaders make changes to the law, both for good and for bad. Because of this, we commit to being at the Capitol every day of the session fighting for life, family, and religious freedom.
Every life matters, and our state policies should reflect that. This is why we work to protect the unborn and to reflect God’s good design for family and sexuality. We believe that our work is vital, and we know that we can’t do it alone. This is where you come in. During this legislative session, we’re asking you to do three things.
First, pray. Please pray for us and for your elected officials during the legislative session. Pray for pastors who are connecting with Minnesota lawmakers, that God would open doors, soften hearts, and strengthen and encourage His followers. And pray that God would be glorified in the state of Minnesota and that we would become a state where life is cherished and God’s design for marriage and family is realized.
Second, act. Your involvement matters! As important issues come up during the session, we will alert you of actions that you can take to speak up in defense of life, family, and religious freedom.
And finally, your generous support is what makes our work possible. Would you consider partnering with us financially during this legislative session as we work to engage the culture and advance biblical truth in our state? Click here to partner with us.

You Can Defend Life, Family, and Religious Freedom by Participating in Precinct Caucuses - FEBRUARY 25
On Feburary 25th, you'll have a chance to impact our state by participating in party caucuses. This is a wonderful opportunity to love our neighbors and to be "salt and light" for the direction of a political party and the selection of candidates for office at the most basic level. When we as Christians bring our convictions of life, family, and religious freedom to the caucus process, we have a real chance of improving the political discourse in our state - and I think we can all agree that it must be improved!
Just a few things to note before we get started: first, unlike in past years, the presidential straw poll will not take place during the caucus. Instead, Minnesota will hold a presidential primary on March 3.
Second, this year, your participation is crucial. Some folks in our state want to remove all references to protecting life and family and advocating for religious freedom from the GOP party platform – the only major party platform that still pledges support for those most fundamental values. If you consider yourself a Republican, your participation in your local caucus is the only thing that will ensure this doesn't happen. Because, as Minnesotans, we value life, family, and religious freedom. On February 25th, we have a chance to put that into action. Are you ready? Let's get started!

Abby Johnson Defied Planned Parenthood. Are You Ready to Hear Her Story in Person at Our Annual Dinner? (May 11)
Registration is now open for our biggest event of the year - our annual dinner with pro-life superstar Abby Johnson. Abby's work with And Then There Were None, a charity that helps abortion workers leave the industry, has been hugely successful. And her new initiative, Love Lines, gives financial support to women who choose LIFE.
But her story began in 2009, when she was a clinic director for Planned Parenthood and had to witness, for the first time, an ultrasound-guided abortion. With horror, she saw for the first time what abortion really is: the killing by dismemberment of a baby. She walked away and has been working to save lives ever since. Her book Unplanned was turned into one of last year's most surprising hit movies.
And she's coming to Minneapolis in May. Will you join us for our Annual Dinner with Abby Johnson? Click below to register now! We expect this event to fill up, so make sure to register as soon as you can.
