I Survived an Abortion

In 1985, a frightened 17-year-old in Medellín, Colombia swallowed an abortifacient a relative had given her — and then, she says, saw the face of Jesus telling her, "I will forgive you." Her son Anderson Ocampo survived, was baptized under a different name because doctors expected him to die, and grew up with a voice too weak to shout on the soccer field — the same voice he now uses to train churches across Latin America to defend life. John Ensor and Mark Nicholson sit down with Anderson to hear the story behind the Faces of Choice commercial that aired during the World Cup, and to trace the providence of God through every improbable turn of it. Watch as God turns a silenced child into a leading voice for the unborn, on this episode of PassionLife.

The -Easiest- Command to Follow

The -Easiest- Command to Follow

There’s a biblical command that says each one of us should be fully convinced in his own mind. That sounds like a really easy command to follow since we always think our opinions are correct. But in context this is a tough command to follow because its talking about following our conscience. And failure means people will knock the stuffing out of us.
