Men and women gain strength from receiving truth at Fayetteville State University.

Our Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) always makes a special impact on students. For some, it is a baby saved. For others, it is hope and healing that comes only from confession and repentance.
Another baby saved. “This is so ironic that you are talking to me, that this exhibit is here, and that you have asked me about this. This is a divine appointment! I am in this situation right now. My girlfriend is pregnant and we go back and forth on what to do. Thank you.” Nuff said.
Manning up. When asked about his thoughts, a young man replied, “Well I did this (abortion), so it’s hard to look at. But I have to deal with it…” Here is a young man confessing and taking responsibility for his actions.
Hope and healing. A young woman also realized the gravity of her actions. After speaking with volunteer Marie Bastone for awhile, she confirmed that she was post-abortive. At the time, she felt abortion was the only way. Her father is a very pro-life minister and she was embarrassed to be pregnant. However, after seeing GAP, she realized that she had rushed into abortion without thinking. She was starting to accept what she had done. Here is a strong woman honestly facing herself and her actions. It’s the first step to healing.
