Several additional team members will be joining us in the months ahead as we seek to better serve individuals, couples, families and faith communities.

All Unborn Children Must Be Acknowledged with Dignity & Worth
 
For any organization to say abortion is wrong and yet ignore the need to support and grieve the loss of a child because of a miscarriage is hypocrisy. Verbal witness, physical presence and protest marches near abortion facilities and government buildings will never be enough to end abortion. Authentic witness to the sanctity of life requires mourning the loss of every child's life, regardless of the child's gestational age and whether a child died through a miscarriage (spontaneous/natural abortion) or an abortion (induced/unnatural abortion). Efforts need to be made to provide a respectful burial for all fetal remains, even when they do not provide a resemblance of "child" during 0-20 weeks gestation.

Sadly, many state laws disregard proof of the child's heartbeat . . . read more

HEARTBEAT INTERNATIONAL - 
Jeannie and Sheila represented EMI at the "He Reigns" Heartbeat International 2013 Conference April 2-5 in Dallas, Texas. Our book giveaway was a huge success with over 600 copies of  My Baby's Feet (written by Sheila M Luck) handed out FREE to attendees. It is the intent that these books will be passed on to clients at pregnancy centers to encourage them to make a life giving choice rather than choosing abortion. You may receive your own free book (plus cost of shipping) as long as EMI has supplies.   
My Baby's Feet
 
This FREE version of "My Baby's Feet" 
by SHEILA M LUCK  is being made available by sponsors: Elizabeth Ministry International,
Life Sentence Publishing, and caring donors.


If having this item shipped, shipping charges will apply.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

With all the wonderful growth EMI is experiencing, we are in great need of
ALL CHAPTERS' most recent updates and information. Please visit our update page and submit your most current contact
and parish information.

If your church has ordered a parish starter kit and has not yet sent the registration paperwork to headquarters, please do so as soon as you are able. We would love to welcome you into the ministry with a certificate and an official chapter number. Registering also helps us keep your chapter updated with the most current information and resources available to help your chapter meet the needs of your church community. 
THANK YOU!

FCC set to drop ban on f-word, 
nudity on television and radio
stations nationwide
 
Seeking public comments;
make your voice count!
 
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it is considering dropping current broadcast decency standards that ban explicit profanity and "non-sexual" nudity.
 
if enacted, the new FCC policy would allow network television and local radio stations to air the f-word, the s-word and to allow programs to show frontal female nudity, even during hours when they know children will be watching and listening.

April Prayer for Elizabeth Ministers
Lord, may the newness of spring remind me of  your continual 
renewal in my life.  Change the way I think about behaviors and
methods that have become commonplace and acceptable to the 
world , and yet are far from Your original  good and perfect plan.
Help me Lord to feel refreshed every morning , as I  re-affirm
my commitment to Your vision and purpose for my life.
Guide me gently, yet clearly, as I share and minister this
message unto my family, my church,
my community and my world.
(Prayer inspired by  Romans 12:2
)
