It is Now or Never!

URGENT HELP NEEDED by December 31 to purchase the property across the street from the ONLY abortion business in West Virginia, Women’s Health Center.

A spiritual battle is raging at 600 Washington Street, Charleston.This property is across from the lone abortion clinic in the state of West Virginia. On September 18, 2021, the Kanawha-Putnam County Chapter of West Virginians for Life (WVFL) took a giant leap of faith and entered into a three-month lease agreement that includes the first option to purchase the property by the end of the lease agreement, December 31, 2021.

If the goal of $199,000 is not reached by December 31st, the Women’s Health Center plans to purchase the land to further keep WVFL from proclaiming the truth. Chapter Leader Missy Ciccarello said, “We know this is bigger than we are, but it’s not bigger than the God we serve!” God has called pro-lifers to SPEAK LIFE to the abortion business’ patients, employees, and volunteers and to show His love to Charleston’s West Side community. The goal is to make sure there are always life affirming resources for women in need; and to ensure they know ALL their choices. WVFL wants to honor and remember the thousands of little boys and girls that have been killed on the corner of Washington Street West and Greendale Drive.

From the first day of the three-month lease period, the Gospel of Life was being proclaimed at the 40 day prayer vigil, which ended on October 31. It is believed (but not confirmed) that two ladies changed their minds thereby saving their babies! Just think about the lives that could be saved with a constant pro-life witness on God’s Battlefield.

Abortion clinic personnel, who have never expressed interest in the property, are now wanting to buy it. After December 31, if WVFL does not raise the money, donations will be returned to pro-life donors and the property will be theirs for the taking.

Please pray about partnering with West Virginians for Life in the effort to purchase the property and help God’s Army on the frontline in the fight for life. To make donations, go to https://www.wvforlife.org/donate/ or mail a check to 25 Canyon Road, Morgantown, WV 26508 and put “God’s Battlefield” in the memo line.
