View as Webpage ‌ ‌ ‌ Encouragement from Your Missouri Right to Life Family As we face these challenging times together, we must continue to work for the future that will come after this crisis passes as well as work through each day's current challenges. The abortion industry is intent on taking advantage of what they believe to be our weak moments in this crisis, but they will not find us weak or unprepared. On the federal level we’ve been working with National Right to Life and with our conservative leaders in Congress to ensure anti-life provisions are not slipped into the emergency funding bills or other measures that Congress is working to pass during this crisis. On the state level we have been working with our House and Senate members on ensuring pro-life language is included in the state budget bills to keep our tax dollars going to life-saving efforts and not expended to the abortion industry. Please continue to pray for President Trump, Governor Parson and all our leaders as they work through this crisis that none of us expected to see in our lifetime. Remember, now is the time when our light in the darkness can shine. Let’s be sure to look around us for people who appear to have no hope because that is sometimes when decisions, like abortion, are made. Be safe, follow the direction of our leaders, be calm and be a good neighbor..... We are here, being your voice and working for the protection of innocent little lives in the midst of this crisis.

A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
