This event will prayerfully encourage greater unity to help more women find the services needed during an unplanned pregnancy and save more innocent lives of the unborn. Heroic Media is a non-profit organization, based in Austin, that runs nationwide Internet ads, TV Commercials, and Mass Transit advertising to direct women to the resources they need.
I see that in addition to the three you mentioned, there is also Pastor Coatney from Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Nice to see an ecumenical element to this event.
