A former trainee at a pro-life group's training camp explains how the two-week event helped him learn how to be an effective pro-life warrior.
Josh Devine and his wife, Elizabeth, both took part in the Survivors ProLife Training and Activist program in Los Angeles this past June. The annual event is sponsored by Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust.
"We went through training, which basically prepared us to answer difficult questions, prepared us to dialogue with pro-aborts and basically just prepared us to hold demonstrations," Josh Devine explains.
All participants were informed of what they are allowed to do legally, and demonstrations were held every day at abortion clinics and at the embryonic stem-cell research facility at the University of California at Irvine. After seeing that babies' lives were being saved because of the group's work, Devine decided to begin plans to set up a pro-life group that will work with pregnancy centers.
"We want them to make the right decision, so we want to be there as a resource," he shares. "We want to be there spreading awareness, showing what abortion actually looks like, and that's how we're going to utilize what we learned at Survivors."
Devine encourages other young people to participate in the training, then carry the pro-life message forward, because he believes they are part of the generation that can make a difference.
