Thriving Texas Families Funding Victory!
Because of your prayers, generosity, and unwavering support, the Texas House voted to fully fund adoption agencies, pregnancy centers, and maternity homes! Representatives approved $210 million for the Thriving Texas Families program.
Thanks to you, mothers in crisis could continue to receive essential help—diapers, formula, counseling, job training, and more. Nonprofits in the program served 150,000 Texans last year, and experts expect a 33% increase in families needing support over the next two years.
Next, lawmakers will review the state budget again and could decide to reduce funding. Please pray and contact state officials to keep the full amount!
Our team has been at the Capitol day and night—truly. Our lobbyists stayed until 3:00 a.m. when the House finished debate on this budget. Every late hour was worth it because your values were at the heart of this victory.

Major Pro-Life Bills Moved Forward!
You helped push Pro-Life bills through the Senate. Now, they need to be heard and voted on in a House committee, scheduled for a debate on the House floor, and voted upon by all the representatives.
- [Priority] The Woman and Child Protection Act (SB 2880 & HB 5510): Saves babies from abortion pills that are sent in the mail or brought in from other states and countries. It also strengthens protections for pregnant mothers. *This bill has passed the initial Senate vote, but needs one more final vote to make it to the House.
- [Priority] The Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act (SB 33 & HB 1806): Blocks local officials from giving tax dollars to abortion groups.
- The Life of the Mother Act (SB 31 & HB 44): Ensures the Texas Medical Board creates and offers free training to doctors on how to treat pregnant women in emergencies and follow Pro-Life laws.
- The Protect Fragile Babies Act (SB 1233 & HB 2684): Helps families choose Life when their preborn baby is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
- Adoption Education (SB 1207 & HB 5100): Adds education about adoption to public school curriculum.
As we pressure the House to move these bills forward, your prayers and support are more vital than ever!
Keep praying that all of our bills pass before the May 27 deadline!

Baby Wren’s Story: Your Love in Action
Recently, we asked for prayers for Baby Wren, a sweet 1-month-old girl fighting for her life in a North Texas hospital. Doctors sought to take away treatment against her family’s will. You immediately responded with powerful prayers, encouragement, and generosity.
Although Baby Wren naturally passed away on Good Friday, we praise God that her life was honored and protected until her final breath—not cut short by a hospital committee. Her parents and grandparents are deeply grateful for your love and support during their most difficult days.
Please continue to pray for Wren’s family as they grieve the loss of their precious daughter.
