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.
