On Friday, January 18, 2019, over 100 members of the IPHC family joined with the March for Life in Washington, D.C. Since 1973, it is estimated that over 60 million abortions have been performed in the United States\u2014over 2,000 per day. Believing that “children are a heritage from the Lord” (Psalm 127:3) and that every life is formed uniquely in the image of God, the IPHC raised its voice in Washington and Dallas, Texas, hoping to see an end to this atrocity in America.<\/p>\n

During the prayer service at Maranatha Fellowship in College Park, Maryland, on Thursday night, Bishop Tommy McGhee shared a powerful word from Isaiah 59:14, \u201cJustice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.\u201d He encouraged the IPHC to stand for truth amid injustice and recommended that each person marching select a truth from Scripture to pray as they walk down Constitution Avenue.<\/p>\n

Bishop Garry Bryant also reiterated the IPHC\u2019s strong stand for life, \u201cAs a church, we boldly declare that we stand for life and that every human being who is made in God\u2019s image has the right to live. As a people, we declare to all that we maintain a strong conviction to the biblical value of life and to the Christian\u2019s duty and privilege to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.\u201d\"March<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday morning, representatives from Mission: M25, Royal Home Ministries, Falcon Children\u2019s Home, and several IPHC conferences gathered with thousands on the National Mall to hear from special guests including Ben Shapiro, Abby Johnson, Dr. Alveda King, and a surprise visit from Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen. Pence shared, \u201cWe gather here because we stand for compassion.\u201d He went on to say that we are all, born and unborn, endowed with unalienable rights; the first of which is the right to life. In videotaped remarks, President Donald Trump stated, \u201cWhen we look into the eyes of a newborn child, we see the beauty and the human soul and the majesty of God\u2019s creation. We know that every life has meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crowd in Washington, D.C. represented people from all walks of life who were united in their purpose–to raise a voice for the unborn. Whitney Davis, a former labor and delivery nurse and new director of IPHC Women\u2019s Ministries, noted that \u201cThere were people in attendance as far as one could see. I would venture to guess the young people, high school and college age, outnumbered those older than them in the crowd. It was refreshing to see Democrats, Republicans, different races, cultures, and generations uniting for the cause of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IPHC\u2019s involvement in March for Life did not end in Washington, D.C. Immediately following the March, Falcon Children\u2019s Home CEO Joey Leggett, Royal Home Ministries Director Donna Jackson and Mission:M25 Director Gary Burd made their way to Dallas, Texas, to join the North Texas March for Life\u00a0<\/a>on Saturday, January 19. In freezing temperatures and high winds, a group of around 40 members of the IPHC, including students from Southwestern Christian University led by Dean Brad Davis, gathered for a time of prayer before they joined approximately 6,000 others as they marched to the Earle Cabell Federal Building, where Roe v. Wade\u00a0<\/em>was originally filed. Donna Jackson shared a moving testimony of how Royal Home Ministries experiences the positive impact of choosing life on a daily basis. Founded in 1992, the Royal Home provides a safe, loving environment for teen pregnant mothers and their babies.<\/p>\n

IPHC General Superintendent Doug Beacham also shares his passion about the IPHC\u2019s stance for life, \u201cIt is imperative that we continue to speak and act in ways that guard and respect life from conception to when the Lord takes us home. The recent actions by the governor and legislature of New York illustrate the continued need for policies giving priority to the lives of the most vulnerable in our society. We call on the U.S. Congress to cease funding Planned Parenthood with our tax monies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creyendo que \"los ni\u00f1os son una herencia del Se\u00f1or\" (Salmo 127: 3) y que cada vida se forma de manera \u00fanica a imagen de Dios, la IPHC elev\u00f3 su voz en Washington y Dallas, Texas, esperando ver el fin de esta atrocidad. En Am\u00e9rica. Durante el servicio de oraci\u00f3n en Maranatha Fellowship en College Park, Maryland, el jueves por la noche, el obispo Tommy McGhee comparti\u00f3 una poderosa palabra de Isa\u00edas 59:14: \u201cLa justicia es rechazada, y la justicia est\u00e1 lejos; porque la verdad ha ca\u00eddo en la calle, y la equidad no puede entrar \". \u00c9l alent\u00f3 a la IPHC a defender la verdad en medio de la injusticia y recomend\u00f3 que cada persona que marcha seleccione una verdad de las Escrituras para orar y declarar mientras caminan por la Avenida de la Constituci\u00f3n. El obispo Garry Bryant tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 agradecido por la firme posici\u00f3n de la IPHC para la vida: \u201cComo iglesia, declaramos audazmente que somos la vida y que todo ser humano que est\u00e1 hecho a la imagen de Dios tiene el derecho de vivir. \"Como pueblo, declaramos a todos que mantenemos una fuerte convicci\u00f3n sobre el valor b\u00edblico de la vida y el deber y privilegio de los cristianos de hablar por aquellos que no pueden hablar por s\u00ed mismos\". Viernes por la ma\u00f1ana, representantes de la Misi\u00f3n: M25, Royal Home Ministries , Falcon Children's Home, y varias conferencias de la IPHC se reunieron con miles en el National Mall para escuchar a invitados especiales como Ben Shapiro, Abby Johnson, el Dr. Alveda King y una visita sorpresa del vicepresidente<\/u> Mike Pence y su esposa Karen. Pence comparti\u00f3: \"Nos reunimos aqu\u00ed porque somos compasivos\". Continu\u00f3 diciendo que todos somos, nacidos y no nacidos, dotados de derechos inalienables; El primero de los cuales es el derecho a la vida. En comentarios grabados en video, el presidente Donald Trump declar\u00f3: \u201cCuando miramos a los ojos de un ni\u00f1o reci\u00e9n nacido, vemos la belleza y el alma humana y la majestad de la creaci\u00f3n de Dios. Sabemos que cada vida tiene un significado \u201d. La multitud en Washington, DC, represent\u00f3 a personas de todos los \u00e1mbitos de la vida que se unieron en su prop\u00f3sito: levantar una voz para los no nacidos. Whitney Davis, una ex enfermera de parto y parto y nueva directora de Ministerios de Mujeres de IPHC, se\u00f1al\u00f3 que \u201chubo personas presentes que asistieron hasta donde se pod\u00eda ver. Me aventurar\u00eda a adivinar que los j\u00f3venes, en la escuela secundaria y en la universidad, superaban en n\u00famero a los mayores que ellos en la multitud. Fue reconfortante ver a dem\u00f3cratas, republicanos, diferentes razas, culturas y generaciones unidas por la causa de la vida \". La participaci\u00f3n de IPHC en March for Life no termin\u00f3 en Washington, DC Inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de la marcha, el CEO de Falcon Children's Home, Joey Leggett, La directora de Royal Home Ministries, Donna Jackson y Mission: Director de M25, Gary Burd, se dirigieron a Dallas, Texas, para unirse a la Marcha por la Vida<\/a> del Norte de Texas<\/a> el s\u00e1bado<\/u> 19 de enero<\/u> . En temperaturas heladas y fuertes vientos, un grupo de alrededor de 40 miembros de la IPHC, incluidos estudiantes de la Southwestern Christian University liderados por Dean Brad Davis, se reunieron para orar antes de unirse a otros 6.000 m\u00e1s mientras marchaban al edificio federal de Earle Cabell , donde Roe v. Wade<\/em> fue archivado originalmente. Donna Jackson comparti\u00f3 un conmovedor testimonio de c\u00f3mo Royal Home Ministries experimenta el impacto positivo de elegir la vida diariamente. Fundada en 1992, Royal Home ofrece un entorno seguro y amoroso para las madres embarazadas adolescentes y sus beb\u00e9s. El superintendente general de IPHC, Doug Beacham, tambi\u00e9n comparte su pasi\u00f3n por la postura de vida de IPHC: \u201cEs imperativo que sigamos hablando y actuando de manera que resguarden y respeten la vida desde la concepci\u00f3n hasta cuando el Se\u00f1or nos lleva a casa. Las acciones recientes del gobernador y la legislatura de Nueva York ilustran la necesidad continua de pol\u00edticas que den prioridad a las vidas de los m\u00e1s vulnerables de nuestra sociedad. Hacemos un llamado al Congreso de los EE. UU. Para que deje de financiar a Planned Parenthood con nuestro dinero de impuestos. \"Hay varias oportunidades para que usted se una a IPHC y levante su voz para los no nacidos:\r\n
