{{first_name|Friend}},
What God is building in the middle of the battle.
I wanted to follow up with you and share some encouraging updates.
First, I am so excited to invite you to something very special.
Next week, we will host the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Guiding Star Southwest, which includes our birth center, coffee shop, and boutique. Please scan the QR code on the invitation to pre-register for the prizes!
This is such a beautiful milestone for our community. While we continue responding to the challenges before us, we are also building something life-giving. A place where women and families will be welcomed, supported, and truly cared for.
I hope you will come celebrate with us.
At the same time, I also want to share some encouraging developments regarding the UNM construction site.
Several people have stepped forward to help us identify some of the companies involved in the project so that we can respond prayerfully, thoughtfully, and with clarity. And already, we are seeing what can happen when people are simply informed about how this facility will be used.
One company, Potty Time, was made aware that this center will not only perform abortions up to birth, but also train medical students to perform abortions through the Ryan Residency Program. After learning this, they contacted the general contractor and decided to remove their services from the site.
That matters.
It reminds us that hearts can change when people are given the truth.
We are incredibly grateful for their decision, and soon we will be sharing ways you can help us thank them for taking that stand.
Through publicly available information, we have also identified Paragon X Industries, LLC as the listed operator of the construction site, along with E2RC, LLC, which is providing environmental compliance services on site.
There are still other companies we are reaching out to.
We have also been in contact with Valley Fence, and we will continue praying and following up in the hope that they, too, will reconsider their involvement.
In the coming days, we will also share ways you can respectfully help us raise awareness among some of the companies involved.
This is not about hostility or attacking people.
It is about conscience.
It is about truth.
And it is about trusting that when people truly understand what they are participating in, they are capable of making different choices.
I also want you to know that we are not alone in this.
Through the New Mexico Spiritual Defense Coalition, pro-life leaders and organizations from across the state are beginning to work together in a much more united and intentional way. There is a growing sense that God is bringing His people together for such a time as this.
This Friday, several of us will be meeting with the Knights, priests, and pastors in Albuquerque to continue discussing ways to engage churches across New Mexico and strengthen this united effort.
There is still so much work ahead of us.
But there is also real hope.
Please continue praying.
And if you have not yet signed up for an hour at the site, I encourage you to do so.
And finally, I truly hope you will join us for the ribbon-cutting celebration. In the middle of this battle, it is important that we also stop and celebrate the beautiful things God is building.
Gratefully in Christ,
Jessica Sifuentes
President & CEO
Southwest Coalition, Inc.
