Our Mission

Life Matters Training Center endeavors to ignite the church to be actively involved in rescuing pre-born children from abortion, promoting a culture of life, and winsomely sharing the gospel

Our Vision

Our vision is to see an end to abortion and spiritual revival and renewal in New York State.

Our Two-Fold Approach

01

Reach the Lost

One on one conversations and showing the truth about abortion through intentional outreaches in strategic locations — abortion centers, college campuses, and public settings.

02

Equip the Church

Train, equip, and inspire the church to join us in this mission of changing hearts and minds to save babies and save souls — through training seminars, local outreaches, mission trips, internships, and pop-up pregnancy centers.

Why New York? — Our Mission Field

111,000+

abortions in New York in 2025.

  • Post Roe v. Wade, New York became an abortion tourism state.
  • In 2024, New York State enshrined abortion as a constitutionally protected right.
  • New York State history is riddled with pro-abortion firsts.

Our Story

A movement rooted in compassion and truth.

Life Matters Training Center exists because the church was made for moments like this — to defend the most vulnerable, to speak truth with grace, and to carry the hope of the Gospel into the hardest places.

We equip believers, mobilize congregations, and walk with communities so that every life is protected and every soul has the chance to encounter Christ. From sidewalk outreach to pulpit training, from intern formation to community partnerships — this is the work of restoration.

Why Life Matters

“Consider how precious a soul must be when both God and the Devil are after it.”

— C.H. Spurgeon

“Life is the most precious gift that we have as human beings. Sadly many people today do not believe this or at least don’t live as if they do.” Our culture of death must be revolutionized by a culture of life! Life Matters is working towards that goal one soul at a time!

Life Matters.

Your Life Matters.

To God.

To Us.

For Others.

For Eternity.

“Life Matters Training Center didn't just teach our congregation — they walked alongside us. Our church will never see this issue the same way again.”

Pastor Daniel R.
Lead Pastor, Grace Community Church

“I came to volunteer expecting to hand out resources. I left having shared the Gospel for the first time in my life. They equipped me to love courageously.”

Marissa T.
First-time Volunteer

“Their training reframed how we engage our community — with compassion first, conviction always, and the Gospel at the center.”

Pastor James O.
Riverside Bible Church

“Standing on that sidewalk, praying with a young mother who chose life — that moment changed me. None of it happens without this ministry.”

Hannah K.
Outreach Intern

Voices of Conviction

“
If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved. And to be steady on all the battle fields besides is merely flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.
— Martin Luther
“
There are more people working full-time to kill babies than there are working full-time to save them. That’s because killing babies is very profitable while saving them is very costly. So costly, that large numbers of Americans who say they oppose abortion are not lifting a finger to stop it. And those who do lift a finger to stop it do just enough to salve the conscience, but not enough to stop the killing.
— Gregg Cunningham
“
Many people are concerned with children of India, with the children of Africa where quite a few die of hunger, and so on. Many people are also concerned about the violence in this great country of the United States. These concerns are very good. But often these same people are not concerned with the millions being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers. And this is the greatest destroyer of peace today—abortion which brings people to such blindness.
— Mother Teresa
