Let us see His Hand in Everything.
Unfortunately, we’ve been discussing that the $10 million abortion and transgender center is moving forward. No one wants to see this happen in our community. The weight of that announcement is real. And yet, we are called to remain steady, rooted, and unwavering.
As we begin Day 10 of this campaign, let us reflect on God’s abounding grace. The temptation is not only fear, but distraction. We can become so preoccupied with the construction of this abortion center that our focus shifts from trust to anxiety, and even our prayers can lose their peace. Yet when we pause and consider the graces He has poured out over these past ten days, we are reminded that He is right here with us. He stands beside us, blessing our efforts, receiving our prayers, and loving us as a faithful Father.
We saw that grace clearly at our kickoff rally in Las Cruces. The Lord sent a faithful priest from Hatch to lead us in the Jericho March as we walked and prayed, confident that strongholds can fall. We lifted up the names of those working in the abortion industry, especially those in that center, speaking each one aloud before the Lord. Together we prayed Psalm 51, asking for mercy and transformation, that the Lord would create clean hearts and renew steadfast spirits within all who are involved in abortion.
Even in the cold, there was a strong turnout. We stood in front of the Pink House abortion center, not discouraged, but filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit.
We closed with the powerful sound of the shofar, a moment that sent chills down our spines and reminded us that this battle belongs to the Lord.
That is why I want to share this beautiful clip from our kickoff rally in Las Cruces last Tuesday.
The contrast could not be clearer. While some invest millions in expanding death and confusion, we are investing in prayer, love, truth, and action to cultivate a culture of life. And I believe with all my heart that heaven responds to faith-filled obedience.
I look forward to seeing you tonight at 6:00 PM. I will be sharing the information I have gathered and everything that has transpired over the last two days. It is important that we come together informed, united, and ready for the road ahead.
Thank you for standing firm. Thank you for praying. The days ahead require courage, and I am grateful to walk them with you.
Gratefully in Christ,

Devotional for Day 10
Intention: For perseverance, clarity, and courage as we discern what God is asking of us next.
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:12
“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”
Reflection: There are moments when the way forward is not fully clear. Opposition may feel strong, and the future uncertain. Yet our confidence has never come from having every answer. It comes from fixing our eyes on the Lord. In these first ten days, we have shown up, prayed boldly, and entrusted hearts to God. Even now, our eyes remain on Him.
Prayer: Father, You see what we see and what we cannot see. Keep our hearts steady and free from discouragement. Teach us to trust You more deeply as we wait and discern. Strengthen us to remain faithful in prayer and united in purpose. Amen.
Challenge: Pray that our meeting will be led by the Holy Spirit and that we may only do God’s will. Pray Psalm 51 for Dr. Theard.
