| LaRee & Mark Pickup |
This past weekend my wife LaRee and I spoke to Centre Street Church in Calgary, Alberta (Canada). It's one of the largest and most active evangelical churches in the city and have a wonderful special needs community outreach.
Over a 24 hours period, we spoke four times to their various congregations. Our presentations were simulcast to each of their six affiliate churches throughout the Calgary area.
LaRee has endured so much over many years. As you can see from the video, she has a transparent honesty, a tender heart and a disarming vulnerability. This resonated deeply with the people. From the best we can determine, somewhere between 6,000 and 7,500 people were addressed over the four services and feedback was most encouraging.
Many post-abortive women* and families of people with profound disabilities came to us after each service. (They were particularly interested in speaking to LaRee.) We pray that her willingness to meet them at their need, pain and sorrow -- even for a short time -- helped them to take the first steps toward spiritual and emotional healing and tap the formidable counselling resources available at this very fine church.
If you feel we can serve your community or church in a similar way, feel free to contact me by email at humanlifematters@shaw.ca or mpickup@shaw.ca
Sincerely,
Mark Davis Pickup
Beaumont, AB., Canada
(*Abortion is so pervasive in North American culture. We know that the unfortunate statistical reality indicates that a large church such as Centre Street Church has many people directly affected by abortion.)
