Support and nurture will be offered through mentoring and friendship, education and information, assistance with maternity and baby goods, parenting programs, group activities, referral and networking with other agencies and more.
Come along to hear all about Eva’s Place – and you will have an opportunity to donate to the vital work of Eva's Place.

From the 100,000 Prayers for Life website:

WHAT is the '100,000 Prayers for Life' Campaign?
We are calling all Christians to be silent no more and cause a tidal wave, storming heaven with our prayers to end abortion in Australia.

WHO?
 The 100,000 Prayers to End Abortion Campaign is run by the team behind the ‘National Day for Prayer and Fasting,’ which is coordinated by Australian Heart Ministries, an interdenominational Christian ministry organisation. Australian Heart Ministries has a long history in National Prayer Initiatives and is operating in the knowledge that prayer is powerful.  We are people of all professions offering our services for the sake of advocating that Christians can be silent no more on the issue of abortion in Australia. We believe that together we can help change the scape of our land as a combined force.
 

WHY?
 Because …
 It’s unprecedented – it’s never been done before to this extent. But we know it works because of the effective, prayer-centric and respectful 40 Days for Life campaigns.
 
With an estimated 100,000 babies’  lives being ended every year in Australia to abortion, it’s only fair that 100,000 of us tell God together that we know this isn’t right and we need His help to end it.
 
And WE KNOW IT WILL WORK … because of the amazing impact that 40 Days for Life campaigns have had around the world. See more about this amazing campaign here!

HOW?…
 IT’S SIMPLE (only 2 steps!)
 Step 1. Choose to create your own short prayer or use a  pre-written prayer.  Please pray it as you send it!
 
Step 2. Invite your family and friends to do the same.
 

WE NEED YOU … AND YOUR FRIENDS
The groundswell of awareness-building and prayer-making is up to you to create. Join the campaign so our prayerful voices will unite all Christians in an effort to present a powerful sound unto the Lord!
 Women need you.
 Men need you.
 Doctors need you.
 The babies need you.

Download MFTB invitation here

Lord Nicholas Windsor is the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, a great-grandson of King George V and first cousin once removed of Queen Elizabeth II.

In 2001, Lord Nicholas became the first male blood Royal to convert to Catholicism since Charles II on his deathbed in 1685.

Lord Nicholas has worked for the Refugee Council in London, the De Paul Trust for the Homeless and in a school for autistic children. He was a Visiting Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Centre in Washington DC at the invitation of George Weigel in 2008. He is a Trustee of The Right to Life Charitable Trust, an educational body whose goal is the full protection of the unborn child.

Lord Nicholas wrote for the American journal ‘First Things’ on the subject of abortion, an article which was entered into the United States Congressional Record by Congressman Chris Smith.

In 2011, Lord Nicholas was appointed to the Pontifical Academy for Life. He is co-signatory of the San Jose Articles concerning protection of the unborn child and a recent appointment as Director of the Rome-based Dignitatis Humanae Institute.

Lord Nicholas resides in Rome with his wife Lady Paola and their two sons Albert and Leopold.

A message from The Babes Project.

Imagine having no one to support you through one of the most challenging and wonderful times in your life... the birth of your child.

At The Babes Project we are endeavoring to train some of our leaders as Doulas for pregnancy and birth and also for after the birth (postpartum).

The approximate cost to train one person is $450.

We ask you to consider sponsoring a leader to complete this training so that we may offer this important service to women as we journey with them through pregnancy and beyond.

Please contact Bec at bec@thebabesproject or on 0423053096 if you’d like to discuss this further.
