Pro Life Cupcake Day

Friday was Abort 73.com’s Pro-Life Cupcake Day. We learned about this ministry at Creation this summer and decided we wanted to do something for it.

The vision is to have students bring cupcakes to school in remembrance of all the babies that never get to celebrate a birthday because of abortion. Since we don’t go to school, we set up a booth at church and handed out cupcakes to passer bys.

We had quite a few people from church come and help or donate cupcakes. Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers! Continue to pray for those who we got to talk to and those who read our tags…

“Cupcakes were designed with birthdays in mind.
However, not everyone has been allowed to be born.
In fact one in three children will never celebrate their first birthday due to abortion. We simply don't think it's fair that so many children don't ever get to have a birthday party. So we thought that we would schedule a day to remember the children, who never get to blow out the candles, unwrap their gifts and eat some cake.”

Susie and I were pretty excited about doing this and are already looking forward to doing it again next year.

What a good idea.....what a sobering statistic that 1 out of three babies don't get to have a cupcake on their first birthday....

Happy anniversary!

Archery looked fun, wood gathering looked fun....

How did all your recent canning/food drying go?

I think it's time to get together again!

Nice Family. I plan on moving forward with my family in a similar fashion. Good role models you Leingangs are!
