Walking Tacos and Sodas served at 5:30 p.m.
A true story about one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation. Abby Johnson was involved in upward of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women on their reproductive choices. Her passion surrounding a woman’s right to choose led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in. Until the day she saw something that changed everything. A love offering is received for Verity Pregnancy & Medical Resource Center, Fort Myers.
This movie is rated R due to its graphic and disturbing subject.

July Monthly Mission Highlight of 2019
Inca Link exists to reach the 300 million youth
in Latin America.
This is how:
- Evangelism and discipleship (Corban concerts, sports, discipleships etc.)
- Training leaders (youth specialties training, and jungle missions school)
- Connecting people (short term teams, Interns, Linkers, missionaries etc).

In the last five years, 20,000 people came to Christ by the 100 Inca Link missionaries and staff. Our staff works in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. Combined, there have been 1.5 million people who were exposed to the gospel in the last five years! Our goal is to begin working in 15 new countries in 15 years, starting with Honduras in 2019 with Daniel Ascencio. Please make your checks out to SCC and add Inca Link in the memo section.
