  • Another Mom Chose Life!

    Another Mom Chose Life!

    By Bud Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- ​On January 27th, Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers along with our local Love Life Mentor witnessed a mother choose life at the Alamo Women’s abortion center. She was loved on and served, on her way to the airport and has been connected with resources in her hometown. Praise God for this partnership on the sidewalk and for this mom whose heart was open to life. Please pray for her!

    Read Karen’s Testimony: 

    “The Lord gave me the privilege to meet a Mom from Houston- my hometown 🙂 this morning after she walked out of the Alamo Womens Clinic and chose life. She was with her cousin and they were going to walk to McDonalds to wait for an Uber ride back to the airport. A fellow Abortion Free NM volunteer on the sidewalk immediately gave me a blessing box full of goodies and a TX resource guide for this Mom!  

    I offered to take them to lunch and the airport to find out her needs and how we could support her. There are many physical needs, but I know the greatest need she has is to sincerely know the love of Christ, have a mentor walk alongside her and a church home to adopt her in this journey. She was open to the idea of a mentor helping her along for a year.  Within minutes, I had resources from Love Life ABQ for a House of Refuge church and mentor in Houston. I was able to speak to that church today and also refer her to Care Net NW Houston for resources. 

    What a joy to send her off at the airport with prayer, hugs and all the resources she needs to thrive back home. I hope to stay in touch and am beyond excited to watch how God abundantly provides for this precious Momma and her 8 week baby. I am rejoicing and so thankful for the body of Christ and all the organizations in NM that are unified and fighting so hard for life. They are not just saving physical lives, but also committed to clearly keeping the gospel at the center of that effort. Two lives were richly and eternally blessed today because of all of your prayers and faithfulness. All glory to God for the powerful & good ways He is moving through you in our city! 1 Corinthians 3:6-11″

    “Praise God for this collaborative effort on the sidewalk. Lives are spared when we walk in unity together. May more hearts and minds be open to life and to the Lord this year as our volunteers go out daily to the darkest places in our communities, abortion facilities,” stated Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico.

  • 1st Baby Born of 2024 

    1st Baby Born of 2024 

    By Bud Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico-  Abortion Free New Mexico is excited to share that the mother, from Cuba seeking asylum in our country, who chose life for her baby and returned to Texas has delivered a beautiful and healthy baby girl! This is the first baby born in 2024 who was spared from abortion when local sidewalk counselors were present to offer hope and help to this immigrant couple from the Republic of Cuba. 

    ​For months, Abortion Free New Mexico has partnered with several ministries in Texas to provide groceries, baby items, rent, furniture, dishes and gift cards to this family. It truly has been a collective effort and a powerful example of Christ’s love to this very special mom. Abortion Free New Mexico plans to continue to support this family, through the Life Fund, until they reach financial stability. Thank you to everyone who has given so sacrificially to meet the needs of courageous moms that choose life.

  • Sanctity of Life Events 2024

    Sanctity of Life Events 2024

    By Bud Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- On January 22, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a presidential proclamation designating the third Sunday of January (or close to that) as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. This day is a great opportunity for Pastors, Churches and Pro-life organizations across the United States to bring awareness to the daily attacks against human life through the abortion industry.

    Abortion Free New Mexico will be at local churches hosting educational tables on Sanctity of Life weekend and we encourage you to use this time to inform your own Pastor and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Here are some tips:

    Important Local Pro-Life Events this month:

    Dear Pro-Life Advocate,

    We are very excited to have a team from Living Waters join us to show the “What is it?” Movie at Calvary Rio Rancho on Sanctity of Life Sunday, January 21, 2024. If you are not familiar with the organization called Living Waters, you probably are familiar with Ray Comfort and his street preaching ministry proclaiming the gospel, fulfilling the great commission.

    The movie, “What is it?” takes the same approach of delivering the gospel and logically and biblically describes human life in the womb. It is a powerful example of apologetics being applied to describing a pre-born baby and how God looks at His creation. The movie itself is about an hour long then we will follow with a Q&A session with Emeal Zwayne and Mark Spence of Living Waters to discuss the Pro-Life movement in our nation and in New Mexico.

    This will be an opportunity for those who love God and love life to come together in prayer and fellowship. We hope that you, your ministry and anyone else you would like to invite can join other Pro-Life advocates to stand strong for life on January 21, 2024 from 5-7:30pm.

    Pastor Roy Weaver

    Job 10:11-12 “You clothed me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews. You have granted me life and steadfast love.”
