A Moment with M.O.M.- Baby Conference

I just love anything to do with babies don’t you?!

Joe and I were blessed to be given the Baby Conference CD’s by Vision Forum.  We had hoped to be able to join other believers and attend the conference that took place this last July in San Antonio, Texas however, that was not Lord’s plan for us at this time. What a treat to open our mailbox and discover that a precious Brother and Sister in Christ had chosen to send us the entire conference on CD!

Joe and I spent a week long trip, driving from the Midwest to the West coast, listening to the message presented. With over 38 CD’s in the collection and 2200 minutes of encouragement, eye opening conversation, presentation, and a cry for the Body to stand up and defend life in our culture of death we have found ourselves on our knees in prayer, as a family, asking the Lord what He would have us to do to advance this message of Hope to a dying world!  Joe and I spent as much time talking and praying about each CD we listened too as we did listening to the CD’s.

As a family, we would like to offer this Audio Collection to one of our readers. Vision Forum does not know that I am doing this or making this available; it’s just on our heart to do so. If you would like to be entered in winning all you need to do is:

Make sure that you are a follower of our blog either through Networked Blogs or the Google Friends (both options are available for you on the right hand sidebar of the site.)

Post a link on your blog letting others know that we are making this available. (If you have a blog. If not that is totally okay!)

You’ll need to leave me a comment to this post with your site address so I can verify your entry in the contest.

By doing the three steps above you will have your named entered into the “hat”. A winner will be picked on Monday (Sept.6th 2010) by random and posted to the site on Wednesday (Sept. 8th 2010). I will have one of my little ones draw the name of one winner from the “hat” (which will probably end up being their WWII helmet) .

IF you’d like to have your name put in the “hat” more than once you can:

Add us as a friend on Facebook AND post the contest on your wall for an additional 2 entries! (if you’re already a friend you’re half way there! You just need to share the news on your wall with others! We want to spread the news that LIFE will always triumph death!)

We’ll be posting pictures of the two youngest drawing the winner!! They love being in charge of things like this! No sending cookies to buy their ‘vote’. They can’t read quite yet and I always claim every cookie that comes through the mail! :-) You will need to make sure that you have your mailing address into me by the end of the week: Friday (Sept. 10th 2010) so that I can get these mailed out to you. In the event the “winner” does not reply back with mailing information another will be drawn and notified. So… have some fun with this and spread the news!

In the event that you shouldn’t be the winner of this giveaway, I would strongly encourage each of you to take time to pray and ask your husband if this is a purchase that you should make. I know it will be worth your time. I am confident that the message presented is life changing and I am thankful for all that stepped forward to speak the Truth with great passion, conviction and Hope!

So, let’s see… what will you be winning? At first glance it may look like it’s just a set of CD’s valued at 99.00 however, Joe and I believe firmly that the message contained on these CD’s can change lives and generations to come! May the Lord be glorified as His people embrace life!

With much love,

Mrs. Joseph Wood

Taken from the Vision Forum website:

When tragedy strikes in the delivery room, and the doctor says you must choose which life to save, whose life is more important — the mother’s or the baby’s?

When your aged parents are terminally ill and in constant pain, and they want to go home to be with the Lord, which act is more loving — to take away their food and water and let them die “naturally,” or to continue feeding them and thereby prolong their suffering?

There are 500,000 babies living as frozen, unwanted embryos in clinics across the United States. Eventually their cells will break down and they will die. Should Christian couples adopt these embryos and implant them into the wives’ wombs? Or is that a form of “medical adultery?”

What does the Bible say about birth control? Is use of the Pill lawful or unlawful according to Scripture? How can we end legalized abortion in America? And what are Christians’ responsibilities to defend life in view of the looming healthcare crisis?

These questions offer just a taste of the critical life-and-death issues covered in The Baby Conference Audio Collection, featuring speakers such as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Doug and Beall Phillips, Geoff and Victoria Botkin, Flip Benham, Kevin Swanson Jennie Chancey, and many more. Join them as they lay a biblical and ethical foundation for tackling the complex bioethical family issues confronting the Church in the 21st Century. Plus, explore practical ways to build a culture of life through adoption, child-birth, child-training, and more, and celebrate the joy and blessing of life amidst a culture of death—all part of The Baby Conference Audio Collection.
