During the extended Spring break for the legislature, Missouri Right to Life has been working with the legislators in both chambers to advance pro-life legislation. We have been monitoring the progress of the budget process and communicating with the appropriate people when the need arises.

Please pray for President Trump, Governor Parson and all our state leaders as we all work through the crisis of this pandemic.

Pray, prepare and be a good Christian witness for those around you in their time of need as well.

Remember, Philippians 4:6-7 tells us: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
