PRO-LIFE WISCONSIN ANNOUNCES NEW DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTORS
|
|
|
Please help us welcome Kraig Sorvick to Pro-Life Wisconsin as our new Development Director!
|
Kraig joins Pro-Life Wisconsin after spending fourteen years in student ministry in the local church; with nine of those years as a full-time vocational youth pastor. God has developed a passion for the pro-life cause in Kraig’s heart and he is excited to be advocating for babies in our great state of Wisconsin by helping pro-lifers participate financially in the mission of Pro-Life Wisconsin. Kraig is married to his high school sweetheart, Kelsey, and they are raising three little ones in the Wauwatosa area. Outside of his work at Pro-Life Wisconsin, Kraig loves spending time with his family, drinking root beer, playing board games, hosting trivia, and running around with his kiddos at
playgrounds.

SIDEWALK COUNSELING NEWS

Milwaukee sidewalk counselors reported three precious babies whose mothers chose life last week (6/2-6/8).
Sidewalk counselors talked with one mom outside of the abortion center who told them she had two children and that she was going to keep this baby, too! She was smiling a lot and it seemed like she was going to burst with joy.
Your pro-life witness is needed!
