NEW RESOURCES:
A few months ago, renowned author Randy Alcorn of Eternal Perspective Ministries, called our office to ask if we'd prayerfully consider being listed as a resource for those hurting after an abortion, who might be triggered after viewing the movie "180"!
We, at ARIN, consider Randy a dear friend and have tapped into his pastoral heart and guidance more than once since we began the ministry. We agreed to review the production.
After being allowed to watch the movie in whole, I have to admit being quite taken back by the content. The movie looked as if it were shot in my home town of Huntington Beach. The pictoral background immediately made me feel as if I were there. The people interviewed were typical of young adults roaming the pier and beach side setting I was so accustomed to. Yet Ray Comfort took an approach that none have yet taken in the pro-life movement. I was left utterly speechless! "If anything is going to change the direction of our nation (other than the testimonies of post-abortion men and women, this is it," I thought to myself.
The movie, "180" will be released this coming Monday, the 26th of September. The Abortion Recovery CARE Directory and CARE Line have been listed to help those emotionally and psychologically impacted by a past abortion. We are encouraging ALL ARIN Affiliates to prepare for a surge in calls coming into your Abortion Recovery Centers/Programs over the next month.
