We invite all followers of JESUS to advocate with love on behalf of the sanctity of every life, no matter: age, ability to care for oneself, personal history or circumstance, knowing that every person is equally and without partiality, most precious and so very valuable to GOD. We encourage one another to gather with deliberate and purposeful unity and great mercy at locations where this sanctity is urgently necessary.
Our mission is to save and support lives within our community and around the world – spiritually, emotionally, and physically, and to fulfill GOD’s Great Commission. We serve: parents and our community with The LOVE of GOD and Power of The Gospel!
Every day in Pittsburgh, more than 21 peri-viable children are killed by abortion, or 150 children per week. 7,786 children die annually in our city as a result of abortion ( https://pafamily.org/2023/06/02/june-marks-one-year-since-the-overturn-of-roe-and-casey-how-has-it-impacted-pennsylvania/), and approximately 325,551 children have been tragically aborted during the last 50 years.
Also most traumatic are the spiritual consequences faced by approximately 16,000 Pittsburgh area parents each year, with well over a half of a million Southwestern Pennsylvania parents choosing abortion since 1974. These traumatic consequences also negatively impact all other family members and adversely affect our entire community.
Globally, according to Guttmacher Institute’s March 2022 WorldWide Factsheet, 73 million children are killed every year as a result of abortion. Further, Guttmacher reports that in the United States, 1,037,000 children were aborted during the year of 2023, while Pennsylvania’s latest abortion statistic results indicate 33,206 children died by abortion in 2021 (health.pa.gov). Paralleling this trajectory, regional, national and global rises continue related to: ptsd incidence, violent crimes, depressions, suicides, co morbid and morbid medical conditions and dramatic decreases in life expectancy.
There is greatest need for CHRIST followers to become activated advocates for life, including Monday through Sunday, during business hours, serving as advocates for all life at abortion clinics and hospitals providing abortion. These great needs can be met in love by: prayer, sharing of personal testimony and the Good News of JESUS, giving thanks, praise, and worship to our LORD, and through personal giving or donations of tangible items for expectant parents. The Pittsburgh public locations in need of coverage presently include Planned Parenthood (PP), 933 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and Allegheny Reproductive Health Center (ARHC), 5910 Kirkwood Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15206. The hours are 7:30 am until approximately 6 pm. [*Note, RSDI|PIT will regularly target Pittsburgh hospitals that abort children with pro-life advocacy after the cessation of abortion at ARHC and Planned Parenthood, both of Pittsburgh, or at the LORD’S Word.]
Please pray for personal, corporate, regional, national and global sensitivity to follow GOD’s Will to seek and save parents, practitioners and advocates of abortion facing these major challenges within our own communities. Additional prayer points and opportunities to help include practicing encouragement within the Church to become and stay involved in life advocacy, and making commitments to serve in love sacrificially as CHRIST’S Disciples related to life affirmation across all regards. Please educate friends and family related to our community’s critical needs and share this website with your church. Restorers are asked to partner with a team at the location they are called to serve.
JESUS, create a clean heart and steadfast spirit within us to compassionately intercede for the lives of: the unborn, parents considering abortion, and all employed or advocating for abortion at facilities where abortion is performed. LORD, please grant our actions demonstrate that we do love one another as YOU Love us, in YOUR NAME JESUS, we thank YOU and implore, AMEN! Also, FATHER, in JESUS’ NAME, grant YOUR Church respond with The Authority of JESUS and the Anointing and Leading of YOU, HOLY SPIRIT, ending abortion worldwide!
There are immediate and critical needs in nearly every major city around the world. At the current rate of abortion, the entire earth’s population, or nearly 7.97 billion children, will die in 11 years.
Please prayerfully consider serving as advocates for life (be most welcome to email at info@rsdi.org). These local service opportunities must be seen and prioritized as urgent! Ideally, we will serve at these locations until their doors are closed permanently.
Aware that we enter HIS Gates with thanksgiving and HIS Courts with praise, we encourage when possible, RSDI|PIT participants to combine praise and worship music with service and faith, and expect The HOLY SPIRIT to Minister through us. We also urge all participants to utilize their giftings onsite to Witness CHRIST through: greetings, sharing of The Gospel, direction, encouragement, teaching, strengthening, singing, praise, playing instruments, etc. Also, we support volunteers who display a life affirming scripture or message. These may be hand written or printed simply on white board (available at Walmart for under $5). Refer to Pro-Life Scriptures/Signs examples and printables (easily printed at Office Depot, online, etc.) under the RESOURCES tab.
As of September 2024 website status, 40 Days for Life serves 64 nations to end abortion internationally and has made an enormous impact, saving 24,894 children, and closing 155 abortion centers! Let us come alongside their wonderful ministry to further engage the PRESENCE of The HOLY SPIRIT, WHO will perform lifesaving signs and wonders among us!! Together, we will save more lives for eternity! 2 Peter 3:9 teaches us, “The LORD is not slack concerning HIS Promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” HE is near to the brokenhearted.
