Sidewalk Counseling
There are many different aspects of pro-life ministry, with Sidewalk Counseling being one of the most effective. A trained Sidewalk Counselor is able to engage people entering a clinic, especially the women considering an abortion, and engage them in dialogue to insure that they fully understand the consequences of their actions. They are there to minister the love, hope, and healing in a very difficult and frightening situation.
Sidewalk Counseling is not activism or protest; it is being a peaceful, prayerful presence at an abortion facility for the purpose of offering the love and hope to people in one of the most difficult of circumstances. It is an opportunity to reach out to them in an effort to provide them with alternatives to abortion, resources, and loving support without judgment.
