Kristin New, MSW
Abortion Speaker
Kristen has a masters’ degree in social work, is a former atheist and counselor who worked in the abortion industry. Through the prayers of one woman and through seeing a second trimester dismemberment abortion on ultrasound, Kristen left the abortion industry, became pro-life, and was eventually converted to Christianity. Kristen shares her powerful testimony focusing on God’s love and mercy and the fact that we are called to have this same love and mercy for all – for the abortion workers, for the women, for the men and for the children.
Corey Osborn
Abortion Speaker
Corey shares his powerful story of being influenced by pornography, getting pregnant with his high school girlfriend and choosing abortion for his preborn baby, then experiencing God’s love and mercy and healing power later in his life. Corey married his wife, Kristy, had three children, then had a vasectomy. Corey shares how through prayer, God showed him that this was not God’s plan for their marriage. The Osborn’s courageously had a vasectomy reversal, gave birth to another child, fostered seven children, adopted one and will be adopting another child this year. Corey shares his powerful life conversion story from his choice of abortion to his choice of openness to life, fostering and adoption. As a male, he is a wonderful speaker for the young men to hear. Young ladies also greatly appreciate hearing a male perspective.
Shannon Bingham

She has a beautiful open adoption story where her whole family—grandparents included, and the birth mother’s whole family — grandparents included — were all present during Seth’s birth.
