"You formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139:13
Dear friends,
Just like that, another summer has come and gone. CCBR's 39 interns and 6 team leaders in Calgary and the GTA delivered 319,635 postcards, knocked on 4717 doors, and reached over 1 million people with the truth about abortion!
By the grace of God, lives were changed over the last four months - not only those who rethought their positions on abortion, but also each of the interns who persevered through long, hot days, tired feet, and challenging conversations to seek justice for the pre-born.
There is so much to give thanks for: we recorded over 1000 testimonies of minds changed, we heard of several babies whose lives were spared, and a post-abortive mom who we met during outreach has started attending church with her children!
As one of our staff members wrote in a song about the internship, "Beauty and the darkness clash again and again / So much sin, but we know we win / Keep your head up towards the light / We need to keep on fighting this fight / We know He holds all things / So we trust and fight, continue in His might."
We are so thankful for the thousands of supporters who partnered with us to make the internship possible. To God be all the glory!
Shana, 2-month intern this summer and newest staff member of Toronto Right to Life, wrote about her internship experience: "While many of us are continuing on with our daily lives, the truth about abortion is hidden. CCBR works to bring that truth to the forefront of a culture sleepwalking through an injustice - the injustice of 300 children aborted everyday. This internship provided an opportunity for me to actively be part of exposing what abortion does and saving lives. When I have a voice to speak for the voiceless and truly make a difference through these outreach projects, how can I not use it?"
Check out this story of a changed mind from this summer!

You're invited! Tuesday, October 11th is an apologetics training day for the Bootcamp in Mississauga (see above), and we'd love for you to join us! We believe it is essential for pastors and church leaders to be equipped to respond to abortion, and we hope that CCBR's apologetics training can be a part of that. As such, there is no cost for attending. Please reply to this email if you'd like to attend.
