Mission Stories

When Pastora found herself in a crisis pregnancy, our donors showed her the humanity of her child. Pastora was just a few weeks pregnant and everyone around her was pushing for abortion. Her boyfriend had no interest in being a father. Her mother couldn’t afford to care for her and a baby. Her peers pointed…

See how three mothers’ minds changed when they learned the truth about life and family. Anti-lifers want you to think that every abortion is an informed choice.

Malawi is safe this year. But we need to be proactive to protect this country long-term. The pro-aborts are up to their old tricks in Malawi. But thanks to our donors, they didn’t get far. This summer, Fr. Zikomankhani of HLI Malawi was surprised to see an abortion bill up for discussion. This is the…

Asel’s work in Namibia shows that the impact reaches way beyond event-day. Have you ever wondered what happens after a conference? Large crowds and rousing talks are all well and good.

With support from HLI, Alyona is helping her family and community respect life. Talking to Alyona now, it’s hard to imagine that she used to be an abortionist. Before she found HLI Ukraine, she spent 20 years ending pre-born lives. But when our missionaries taught her the value of every human life, she knew she…

More mothers threatened with forced abortion still need help. Mary came to HLI Malawi in urgent need of help. Her husband didn’t want any more children. He made Mary use contraceptives, and when those failed, he insisted on abortion. Mary said no. She thought she would rather die than kill her child. But her husband…
