SPIRITUAL SPONSORSHIP: a message from your child: Thank you, child of God, who prays for my infant life to be saved from abortion. Your prayers help my mother listen to the Holy Spirit who whispers to her that I am a gift from a loving God. At the moment of my conception, God gave me a soul for eternal life, and He promises that you and I in eternity will find happiness and joy. God has a beautiful plan for my life...to know and love Him and His son, Jesus. Like you, my heart was beating by my 21st day. My tiny backbone and muscles have formed, and my arms, legs, eyes and ears have begun to show. In all the world there will be no one like me. I am only 1/2 inch long. The cerebral hemispheres are growing. Amazing creation of our Almighty God!
