FLUTTER INC AND AFRICA CARES FOR LIFE DONATE AN ULTRASOUND MACHINE TO TSHEPHO WOMENS HEALTH 

Earlier this year, at the Africa Cares for Life Conference, I met Karla Sutter, founder of Flutter Inc, based in the U.S.

Karla was one of the fantastic speakers at the conference this year and is also the author of a few books, including Flutter - a children's book with a strong pro-life message.

Flutters vision statement is that every girl, in every nation, should have the right to an ultrasound during her pregnancy.  It is for this reason, that Karla and her team, bring unused ultra machines from America, to countries in Africa.

Karla donated a machine to Africa Cares For Life this year, who then chose to give it to Tila Maganyane from Tshephos Women's Health.

It was a very special moment to witness how the machine was received with such gratitude. I have no doubt in my mind that this ultrasound machine will prevent many abortions. According to Life News, 78% of pregnant women who see an ultrasound of their baby reject abortion.

Below is a video of how Tila received her ultrasound machine at the Africa Cares for Life conference.

March for Life 2019 Radio Interviews

Leading up to the March For Life South Africa 2019, I had the privilege of interviewing two very influential people in the Pro-Life movement here in South Africa. 

Earlier this year I was asked by GNCR if I would like to be a presenter on their station, and how could I say no?
(More shows will be available early next year!)

I spoke to Liza from Doctors For Life, and Graeme Schnell, CEO of Focus on the Family Africa. 

Below are the links to the interviews, I hope you enjoy getting to know Liza and Graeme as much as I did!

August Speaking Opportunities:

Me, sharing my story at New Beginnings Church.

On Friday the 10th of August I had the honor of speaking at a woman's event at the New Beginnings Church in Phoenix.

I shared my testimony at the event, of how God spared my life after I almost died, after giving birth to my son Quade, three years ago. I also shared my abortion story and how abortion negatively affected my life. 

At the event, I met Loaraine Moonsamy, who invited me to speak at her church the next day.

Me, sharing my story at Calvary Chapel.

 I wanted to embrace the opportunity to share my testimony once again, so on Saturday the 11th of August, I spoke at the Calvary Chapel Woman's event. I shared my story and offered free online post-abortion counselling to anyone who felt that they might need it. I had ladies come to me after  I spoke to share their stories of how they have lost children to abortion. Many women do not seek therapy and counselling after an abortion, and many women struggle with feelings of loss, regret and sadness, after having an abortion. 

I feel so privileged to have had two opportunities to speak. 
I love being a speaker and am so thankful for the opportunities that God gives me to share my story of His grace. 

If you would like me to visit your church, to raise awareness on abortion and baby abandonment, and for me to share my testimony, send an email to melissahertzmusic@gmail.com.
Many blessings!

Unplanned banned in Canada

Unplanned is the true story of Abby Johnson, the youngest director of Planned Parenthood, who witnesses something during an abortion procedure that dramatically changes her life forever.


Despite the fact that the movie contains no foul language, no nudity, and no sexuality, it has been banned in Canada.
The distributors found the content ``offensive."

Offensive? 

Wait... If an abortion is just the removal of a clump of cells then why would Unplanned be banned? 


To make matters even worse, Google refused any pre-release adverts and banners of the film and many major television networks refused to promote the films release.
Twitter suspended the Unplanned Twitter account and cut their Twitter "followers" dramatically.

           








Johnson however is not despondent and is as passionate as ever and says 
"I wonder what they have to be afraid of?"

She has encouraged Canadians to raise their voices and to speak up for the unborn.   

"You gotta stop being so dang polite. 
Life is on the line. Children are being killed, dismembered by their mothers wombs. There is nothing pro-life about abortion and it is time for us to stop cowering to a liberal media, to your liberal parliament, enough is enough."

Already the movie Unplanned is making waves and there have been testimonies of women and girls who went to see the movie, who were not sure if they would keep their baby or not, who then chose life for their baby.

Abby Johnson has done an amazing thing and although Unplanned is not yet available in South Africa, I am so excited to see such a controversial, impacting and incredible story of a woman who was not afraid to speak the truth.

The moment I find out about a screening here in South Africa I will be sure to let people know!

Baby Savers South Africa

Over the past year Project Life has donated four baby savers to organisations- three in Cape Town and one in Durban.

Mandukas Formwork, a local formwork and scaffolding company helped to create these baby savers and sponsored the materials for them too.

We then had the help of an electrician to help build the technology onto the box that triggers a lock to lock the door of the baby saver and to send a message to a response team that a baby has been placed into the saver. 

The first baby saver was given to an organization in Bellville called Inceba Saving babies.

The official launch of the Inceba Saving Babies baby saver was on 17 October 2018 and a team of paramedics from ER 24 were there to show their support. A baby was placed in the saver to demonstrate how the baby saver works and among others, CNI security, who is also providing their services for the baby saver, came to show their support on the day.

The Inceba Saving Babies baby saver is located in close proximity to the Bellville station and is located in Quarry street Bellville, next to the big AGS church building.

The second baby saver was donated to Lucinda Evans from Philisa Abafazi, an organisation doing a range of community work to assist vulnerable women and children in Cape Town. 

The saver is located at 69 Hillary drive in Lavender Hill.

The first baby to be placed in the Lavender Hill Philisa Abafazi baby saver was placed in the saver during the early hours of 30 March 2019.


The baby girl, just two days old, was left with a letter from her mother. 
The baby girl is currently in foster care until she is placed with a forever family.

The third baby saver was given to Katherine Brink from Little Brinks and they are still in the process of finding a location for the baby saver as the location is vitally important.

The baby saver that was donated to Durban was given to Youndi from Open Arms SA and they too are in the process of having it installed. They have a location- it is being put into their wall of their home but are in the process of finding a builder to install.

We are very excited to see how God will use these baby savers to help women who feel that they have no other option but to abandon their baby. May many lives be saved!

I am also sad to say that Project Life will not make any more baby savers. The project was incredibly stressful and challenging and my children are too young at this point for me to be putting as much time into Project life as I was. As many of you know, I have made the decision to commit to homeschooling my children as long as they would like to be homeschooled. 

It was my dream to become a supplier of baby savers in South Africa, that are cost-effective and also locally made. Making the savers made us realise that other organisations making baby savers are putting a mark upon their savers, and I wanted to change that and supply something that organisations could actually afford. 

If you would like to purchase a saver contact Baby Safe International who I'm sure will gladly assist you.
