Join us this week with our special guest, Ann Tolly, as she shares her remarkable 40-year journey in pro-life ministry. Ann's story demonstrates how God transforms our deepest wounds into our most profound purpose.

When Ann and her husband helped establish a pregnancy care center in Michigan, they couldn't have imagined the ripple effects their work would create. Ann shares pivotal moments that shaped her ministry—from establishing their mission statement, “saving lives for now and eternity,” to overcoming challenging counseling situations with women who initially rejected spiritual guidance. Her candid stories reveal both the struggles and triumphs of frontline pro-life work.

Perhaps most compelling are Ann's experiences counseling post-abortive women, many wrestling with suicidal thoughts. Her accounts directly challenge contemporary narratives that abortion has no lasting negative effects. With profound compassion, Ann describes how she guided these women toward healing and forgiveness through God’s Word. One particularly moving story involves a desperate late-night phone call that led to a life-saving intervention using Lutheran catechism teachings.

Ann’s legacy continues through countless lives touched and future generations saved. Whether you’re considering pro-life work or simply seeking inspiration, Ann’s testimony powerfully illustrates how ordinary people, yielded to God, can have an extraordinary impact in addressing one of our culture's most contentious issues with truth and compassion.
