If you live in Iowa, Eastern Nebraska, or North/Central Illinois, you can help us reach more women facing unplanned pregnancies through local, crisis pregnancy outreach! Lutheran Family Service helps to guide these young women to make life affirming plans. Sometimes this means they will choose to parent their child, and other times it means they will make a loving adoption plan for their baby.
Should the woman choose adoption, Lutheran Family Service has Christian, adoptive families ready to love and raise these children to know how much Jesus loves them.
Currently, our crisis pregnancy counselors can travel anywhere in Iowa, Eastern Nebraska, and North/Central Illinois. All crisis pregnancy counseling services are provided to these women at no cost to them.
Involve your teenage children or grandchildren, college age children or grandchildren, your local youth group, your LWML group, etc. in crisis pregnancy outreach efforts. What an amazing project for youth and young adults to be a part of, reinforcing the value of all life from the moment of fertilization to natural death.
Together, we can save lives and souls of little babies whom Jesus knows and loves dearly.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;” Jeremiah 1:5a
Iowa Supreme Court Decision – Heartbeat Bill
by Rev. Max Phillips
Lutheran Family Service gives thanks to God for today’s Iowa Supreme Court decision to lift the temporary injunction on the Heartbeat Bill passed last July by the legislature! This bill bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks. Currently, little boys and girls can be killed up to twenty weeks old in the womb. More lives will be saved in Iowa.
