Who We Are What We Do Human Coalition is one of the largest pro-life, pro-woman, and pro-family organizations in the country, committed to making abortion unthinkable and unnecessary by helping lead an inclusive movement that values human dignity and establishes a culture of life

With the support of thousands of partners nationwide, Human Coalition operates a National Rescue System that serves women facing unexpected pregnancies in some of the most abortion-dense communities across the country. The network of care reaches women actively seeking an abortion, rescues them and their children from the horror of abortion, and restores their entire families to stability

(1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[a] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8 Love never ends.

Human Coalition is leading by grace.

Romans 5:20 English Standard Version 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

The Problem is: The world doesn’t comprehend the true definition of love.

John 13:35 says we will be known as Jesus’ if we love one another.

The Solution: Many words are used for love. God defines only one for us: agape.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

· Gen 12:2-4 – God promised Abraham that he would be the father of a great nation. He was 75 years old at the time.

Genesis 12:2-4 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”[a] 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

· Heb 6:15 – Abraham, after “patiently enduring ,” obtained what God promised.

Hebrews 6:15 15 And thus Abraham,[a] having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

Does not rejoice in iniquity

Rejoices in the Truth

o Bears ALL THINGS o Believes ALL THINGS o Hopes ALL THINGS o Endures ALL THINGS
