  • LA’s journey towards Christian unity at 25
    January 23, 2019  |  Around the ADLA  |

When I saw them, I ran over to give them a big hug and to thank them for standing up for life in more ways than one.

    I’ve never been on a protest march before, but I bet the one I am attending today is a little unusual.

    We are praying tonight for the unborn.

    This word reminds us that life begins long before we ever see it. The Bible tells us that every human life begins with the desire of God. Before he forms us in the womb, he knows who we are. He knows who he wants us to be. Even before we are born, God has plans for us.

  • OneLife LA at 5 years
    January 17, 2019  |  Around the ADLA  |  

    When OneLife LA began five years ago, we were nervous. We were embarking on a project that was brand new, and we didn’t know if we could actually create something that would make sense. That would convey the message that we were hoping to share with the world.
