“It’s Got Fingers and Toes and Everything”! 
by Barbara Lane Geistfeld, LFL Regional Director 
LifeDate, Winter 2025 

All over the world, men and women labor to uphold the value of God’s gift of life to mankind. They believe that God’s gift of life starts with fertilization and ends with natural death. They believe that all babies are conceived because God created that child on purpose—for a purpose. They believe with all their hearts that Psalm 139:13-14 is true: 

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” 

One of the places where men and women support this gift of life is at their local Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC). One of these special women, Arlene Hamlin, attends Trinity Lutheran Church in Blanco, Texas, where she is a member of the Life Team of which I am the Life Team Leader. She is a compassionate voice For Life and has shared her story with all of us as an encouragement and blessing.
