We are very, very close to the Grand Opening of “Lori’s House” so I wanted to share my testimony again so that newcomers can understand just how much this means to me.
I was just 17 years old when I had my first abortion, and just 21 when the last of 5 consecutive abortions left me unable to ever have a child.
I realize that not many of you have heard my entire testimony which I’ve recorded in my book, “More Than I Could Ever Ask.” So, I feel like this is the perfect time to share with you the details of my life which Jesus redeemed with His precious Blood so that I can give others hope and spare them the grief and pain of abortion, and save the lives of the innocent.
I hope you are encouraged as you read Part one of this seven part series.
Love,
“A Little Boy’s Voice” (Pt. 1)
I fiddled with the knobs on the car radio as the kids chattered in the backseat. I had driven from Phoenix to Los Angeles to see Bobbi, and now the two of us were taking her daughter, Nikki, and her nephew Jason to the beach. It was a beautiful late summer day, blazing hot, near the end of August 1989.
Without being too obvious about it, I was looking for a Christian radio station. I figured Bobbi would want to listen to our usual rock music, so I reached for the dial first. Following my commitment to Christ five months earlier, I did not want to have anything to do with my former lifestyle, including the music.
A little girl’s voice cut through the static on the radio. She was saying something about Jesus. Great! A Christian children’s program, I thought smugly. This is perfect. I smiled and tapped my fingers against the steering wheel as the background music faded out and the dialogue started again.
As a new Christian I very much wanted to be a good influence on Bobbi and her family. After all, I had been responsible for leading her down the wrong path, introducing her to drugs and encouraging her toward promiscuity. And when Bobbi had wanted to straighten out her life and serve God two years earlier, I had been the one who kept drawing her back into the destructive party lifestyle. Now the tables were turned: I was on fire for God, and she was still trying to get me to snort crystal with her, tempting me with worn-out promises of a new and better high. For the first time in almost two decades, though, I wasn’t buying it.
Bobbi was as close to me as any blood relative could be—and with all my heart I wanted to help her find the same joy I had found when I gave my life to Jesus. I breathed a silent prayer of gratitude to God for finding a Christian children’s program. What a great ministry tool, I told myself. Bobbi will have to listen to it for the kids’ sake. But as we cruised down the Pacific Coast Highway listening to the radio, I discovered the audio drama was not a children’s program at all; instead it was directed squarely at me.

I love you Lori because you are real. If the world could see more real christians, who are not afraid to speak about where God brought them from I believe we would see many people saved. It gives people hope, if God did it for them, he could do it for me.
Hi Lori, I am so so proud to wear your Little Lamb bracelet and have given to your ministry as best as I can begin out of work since March 5th of this year. I wish that I lived closer to go to your church and help out since I love the way your ministry accepts everyone. I also have tried to start to stock up on the food too with my unemployment checks but can only do little by little, I do pray for you and your ministry daily and wish I could work for your ministry too someday. GOD Bless you on your life mission on saving babies in the world!!
Hi, Kim! I’ve been to Morningside near Branson, MO. Lori’s House will be on the Morningside property with the Grace Street building, the Tabernacle, the RV Park, and the Wilderness Campground. Lori, is it OK to suggest that Kim prayerfully consider whether to get involved in creating a Lori’s House in Ohio, maybe under your supervision? Just a suggestion, that’s all.
God Bless all of you!

I forgot to add the Old Mill Inn building that is under construction as well on the Morningside Property 🙂
Thanks so much Robert…I appreciate your response.
Lori, I would love to be a part of this ministry. Please keep me informed as to how I can contribute to Lori’s House. I do have a question, where will the location be? We need more than just one of these houses that is for sure. I am located in Ohio but wasn’t sure where this will be?
Will be praying too.
God Bless, Kim Biegacki
