Our Aim

Psalm 46:10 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."  Because of the person and work of Jesus Christ we have access to God as our refuge and strength.  Not only this, but we're compelled also to lead others to the Savior by assisting with their temporal needs while communicating the truth of the gospel to meet their eternal needs. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus, meeting the needs of others so that we can point them to the true Refuge, Strength, and Help.

Abort73.com is a ministry that we support on a monthly basis. Started by Mike and Carrie Spielman (members of Harvest Rockford), it exists to educate people on the realities of abortion. Mike and Carrie moved to Rockford in 2006 from Los Angeles to be involved at Harvest alongside long-time friends John Dirkse and Jacob Ronan.

The Mission of Abort73 is as follows:
"Motivated by our Christian calling to establish justice, to expose evil injustices, to minister to the needy and helpless, and to extend love to every human person, Abort73.com aims to expose the practice of abortion as an injustice of historic proportions. We believe the best way to do so is to persistently, creatively, and comprehensively educate individuals (esp. students) with the massive body of evidence that stands against it. We strategically target a young audience (e.g., high school and college students) and are taking full advantage of the technology available to educate as many people as possible (i.e., the internet). We think it is good and necessary to use both secular and theological arguments to make our case against the practice of abortion. Since abortion claims the lives of thousands of the helpless unborn everyday and millions every year, we cannot do nothing (abort73.com)."

Ways to help Abort73 vary in nature, but one way you can help is by volunteering to assist Mike and Carrie fold and package T-shirts. T-shirts are just one tool Abort73 uses to spread awareness.
