Sidewalk Counseling Masterclass
Become a better sidewalk counselor.
“In my years as a sidewalk counselor, I have learned how many women coming to an abortion clinic haven’t decided if they want an abortion that day. I have developed successful methods for how to start conversations with abortion-minded people so
that we can offer them resources and help that they need to leave the clinic and choose life for their child. Find out in this course what I’ve learned that has helped save the lives of more than 60 babies.” ~Jacob Nels
