"Every seventy-two seconds an African-American baby dies in the womb of his or her mother."

That is the message from pro-life hero Walter Hoye. Pastor Hoye was interviewed today in the California Catholic Daily.

Pastor Hoye has started the Cyrenian Project to reach out to African-American churches on the issue of abortion and how it affects the black community. How necessary that effort is! The project is named after Simon of Cyrene, who helped Christ carry his cross on Calvary.

On January 22, 2010, Pastor Hoye will lead the "3rd Annual Standing Up 4 Life" Walk in Oakland. The 2010 walk will spotlight "The Impact Of Abortion In The Minority Community!"

What a great gift our African-American pastors are to the pro-life movement!
