We are excited to share with you that the Protect Life Michigan Training held on the 6th-8th of August in Grand Rapids, was very beneficial to those who attended. One of our high school students who we sent to the training, Jacob Heintz, had this to share with us:
“To sum up the Life Advocate Intensive, it was honestly one of the best parts of my summer. The time spent during the talks and the training could very well have felt like a lifetime, but both the volunteers who were helping make it all happen, and the students alike made it all the more enjoyable. Being privileged enough to hear from all of the speakers was amazing. For a while now I’ve wanted to educate myself as to why abortion was wrong and to have facts that didn’t rely on my religious beliefs. It’s difficult to debate someone over that because not everyone shares the same beliefs. I can definitely say that this experience gave me far greater reasoning than I ever thought it would. Being able to be a part of Outreach was awesome and really helped solidify what I’d learned. Without it, I don’t think I’d have remembered half of what we talked about. It was an amazing time, and I hope to do it again next year and for years to come.”
