It's not "just" about saving babies

Pastor Adam Barton blogs for ICU Mobile: 

Some pregnancy centers have asked, “Do we have to share the gospel with everyone? Our answer is, “yes” for the following reasons:

1. We are called to share the truth of Jesus Christ. This is our highest calling as God’s children.

2. Save the woman, save the baby. Abortion is often a symptom of a much greater spiritual problem. Women are likely to repeat an abortion without knowing God.

3. Often, we will only see our clients one time. We have to assume that this may be our only opportunity to share.

4. It works. It’s proven. Around 40% accept Christ as their savior aboard the mobiles in our fleet. It will continue to as long as we continue to be bold.

5. Women in these difficult circumstances are highly receptive to the gospel.

6. Regardless of timing, sharing the gospel is better than not sharing at all.

7. There may have been other believers that have already laid the seeds before us.

8. We don’t need to “break the ice” before engaging in the gospel. Remember, they are coming to us in a time of need. Barriers are already broken down to begin with which makes it appropriate to share the gospel at first meeting.

9. It’s beneficial for staff to share each time. They don’t have to think twice about sharing or not, and it keeps them spiritually ready and mindful of Kingdom work—not just saving babies.

10. People/churches outside the “pro-life” arena will be more likely to support the ministry if sharing the gospel is a necessary part of what we do.
