I hope you had a marvellous Christmas and New Year, reflecting on what God has done for you last year and looking ahead to what He has in store for you this coming year.
That is what I would like to do in this first email of the New Year for FamilyVoice.
2020 was a year like no other that I have experienced. It started smoothly enough and then got bumpy. God seemed to want to shake the world up somewhat. Nevertheless, He has continued to look after His people including us here at FamilyVoice. For this we are deeply grateful to Him.
As the lockdowns because of the virus became enforced, God’s people were not able to meet. Our State Directors could no longer speak in churches. The future looked dire indeed. But then with the help of some miraculous technology things open up. Using Zoom to conduct webinars we have been able to reach many thousands of people. Some were faithful supporters but many were new.
Praise the Lord!
These webinars covered a host of subjects. The response to them was overwhelming. For each webinar there have been new people added to our mailing list. This has given us a real lift.
In addition to the webinars, we have concentrated on several campaigns. Each State Director took these on in addition to their State’s responsibilities. The Lord has been pleased to bless these endeavours.
Peter Stevens is heading up the 365Life campaign that partners with 27 other pro-life groups. This is working to save babies. He also heads up the Age of Innocence campaign. This is bringing the message that “Porn Harms Kids” to our politicians. This is getting real traction for change in this area.
Greg Bondar is leading the Religious Freedom campaign to try to keep our hard-won rights. Mark Latham MLC along with Greg is leading the charge. Greg is also spearheading our campaign to limit the effects of problem gambling especially on our youth.
David d’Lima has taken on the Gender Dysphoria campaign. This is making real progress to help protect children from horrific treatments. New legal victories are helping to keep children safe. This includes the victory by Tasmanian Senator Claire Chandler.
Darryl Budge is running a campaign to protect women from mail-in abortion pills. This new policy initiated during the coronavirus pandemic leaves women in a terrible situation. Darryl is working on this with some pro-life parliamentarians.
Jerome Appleby our National Policy Officer has been defending Margaret Court against her many attackers. Margaret is a world champion with an unbroken record. Instead of honouring Margaret Court, many in the “woke” community attack her for her stand on marriage.
In the New Year we are planning to continue to fight on various fronts including:
- Abortion in SA
- Conversion Therapy Ban in VIC & SA
- Abortion Censorship Zones in WA
- Zoe’s Law in NSW
- Euthanasia in TAS, QLD, SA & NSW
Thank you for your continued support as we work tirelessly to defend Family, Faith and Freedom in Australia.
