What is Sidewalk Advocacy?
🌟 SACFL offers TWO Sidewalk Advocacy Programs! 40DFL Sidewalk Outreach & Sidewalk Advocates for Life.
SIDEWALK ADVOCACY is crisis intervention on the public right-of-way at the abortion facility -- where women are actively encouraged to choose life by empowering her to leave with the knowledge and resources she and her child will need.
Traditionally known as “sidewalk counseling,” SIDEWALK ADVOCACY relies on peaceful, prayerful, and law-abiding methods with love as its centerpiece to bring about a conversion of heart.
We provide comprehensive training, tools, and support programs to equip our advocates with effective tips and strategies to meet the mother where she is and to be the gateway to life-affirming care.
Are there women who refuse our offer of help? Yes, there are. But we believe that prayer makes a difference for those young women and their preborn children.
We hope and pray that all Christians -- especially those who share in our mission -- will recognize the urgency of this call and respond generously love.
❗❗ These trainings provide NO professional certifications and/or licensure as a "counselor" or otherwise. Those who complete the training should NOT -- as a result of these trainings -- represent themselves as "certified", "licensed", a "counselor", or the like.
