We're also coming down the home stretch in our partnership with Pre-Born to provide free ultrasound sessions to pregnant girls & women who might otherwise choose to end their pregnancy.

Today on the Tim DeMoss Show, we spotlight our monthlong partnership with Pre-Born to save lives. Your gift of $28 provides an ultrasound to a pregnant girl or woman who might otherwise be abortion-minded. Statistics show that 80% (or more) of these women are much more likely to keep their baby after the simple opportunity to see their baby and hear their baby's heartbeat. It's a powerful, effective, and gentle way of promoting life.

Our WFIL listening family goal is 500 ultrasounds by the end of January. At present we have 140 accounted for, with 360 to go. To help, you can call 1 833 850-BABY (2229) or click the "Pre-Born" banner on WFIL home page (www.wfil.com).
