What is Your Church Doing?
“Thousands of professing Christians, pastors, and priests, are turning a blind eye to the unborn who find themselves stuck in the crosshairs of choice.” — Michael Spencer
Are you a churchgoer grieved by the silence from the pulpit when it comes to abortion? Are you looking for effective ways to speak with your church leadership and inspire action on behalf of the unborn?
Or perhaps you’re a pastor or church leader who sees the devastation of abortion but feels unsure how to address it clearly, compassionately, and biblically?
We’re here to help.
Whether you need encouragement, practical tools, or resources to begin the conversation, we would love to connect with you. Reach out to us anytime at [email protected].
How to Begin: Practical Ways to Get Your Church Involved
Share Help and Healing
Stock your church with brochures from local crisis pregnancy centres and post-abortive healing ministries. These silent lifelines can reach someone right when they need it.
– Visit our Help page for trusted groups to promote.
Pray Boldly
Include abortion in your church’s corporate prayer life—from the pulpit, in small groups, and prayer meetings.
– Find helpful prayer guides here: imagodei.ca/pray
Equip with Knowledge
Add some truthful and compassionate pro-life books to your church library. Even better, invite a good pro-life speaker to come and give a presentation at your church!

Remind People of the Healing of Jesus
Acknowledge the hidden pain many carry. Take time on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to gently recognize those who have experienced abortion and offer the hope of Jesus.
Remember too that: “Pastoral silence does not spare post abortive men and women guilt – it spares them healing” – Scott Klusendorf
