CWA of Louisiana Pray and Encouragement Opportunity

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Are You an Encourager of Encouragers?
Impact the State Legislature with Prayer and Encouragement

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana is currently seeking a coordinator to oversee our Encourage-A-Legislator (EAL) program. The EAL Coordinator prepares the EAL packet of postcards and instructions and mails to the EAL participants. She also communicates with participants throughout the legislative session. The Louisiana 2021 session is scheduled to convene on Monday, April 12, and adjourn on Thursday, June 10.

About the EAL Program
EAL is a program of encouragement and prayer for our Louisiana state legislators while the Louisiana legislature is in session. It involves sending postcards of encouragement and praying for an assigned legislator throughout the session. EAL is designed to pray for and encourage the legislators with no mention of legislation or policy. Whether conservative or liberal, the goal is to uplift the legislator and to remind him or her that they are prayed for regularly.

Are you interested in learning more about the position of EAL Coordinator? I am happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have. Please contact me by e-mail or phone (504) 236-8546 if you have an interest in more information on joining our CWA of Louisiana team.

“May He equip you with all you need for doing His will. May He produce in you through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to Him” Hebrews 13:21

Supreme Court Rules Against Louisiana Women and Life

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Last week, the Supreme Court failed the women of Louisiana by invalidating a law meant to protect women by raising the standard of care to an acceptable level in cases of abortion. The state of Louisiana sought to close the inadequacy in the law that permitted abortionists to operate at a lower care level than any other medical provider.

You can read CWA’s coverage of the court’s decision in the following articles:

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana express our heartfelt gratitude to Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry; Solicitor General, Liz Murril, and Sen. Katrina Jackson (D-Monroe) for their all their work on the case.

While this was a very disappointing decision, we press forward. CWA of Louisiana will not relent in our efforts to protect women and to protect life.

Take Action
Contact me today to learn more about the work of CWA of Louisiana. You are needed, and I would love to talk with you on how you can influence and impact our culture here in Louisiana through prayer, education, and action.

Please pray for mothers who are facing “unplanned pregnancies” and feel their only choice is to end the life of their child. Please pray women who find themselves in crisis pregnancies will find help at a Christian-based Crisis Pregnancy Center where they will not only receive the emotional and financial help that they need but have the Good News of the Gospel shared with them.

Thank You to All Who Encouraged!

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana’s 2020 Encourage-A-Legislator (EAL) Project had one of the largest groups of EAL volunteers we have ever had in the many years we have sponsored this project. Surely there has never been a more critical time to encourage our elected officials! We yearned to strengthen them as we prayed for them to take a more courageous stand for the cause of liberty and righteousness, and hopefully this included those who did not agree with us in ideology. May each official fully realize we covered them in prayer – not challenging them by any political perspective – but affirming them in such a way that they were edified and encouraged.

Thank you, Debbie Hoehl, our EAL Coordinator and the 82 people who volunteered this year! 144 elected officials were covered in all. Through this unusual session, several legislators responded and expressed their appreciation for the spiritual support and prayer of CWA of Louisiana EAL volunteers.

Legislative Update

  • Louisiana’s state legislature wrapped up its 2020 legislative session on Monday, June 1, at 6:00 p.m. Due to COVID-19, the regular session was abruptly cut short. The state legislature began a First Extraordinary Session on Monday, June 1, at 6:01 p.m. and will adjourn on June 30, at 6:00 p.m.
  •  Pray: Please continue to keep the Louisiana state legislature in your prayers as they move forward and work on our behalf to finish the necessary legislation for 2020.

“… being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)

Volunteer Opportunities
We have several ways to volunteer with CWA of Louisiana. Do any of these sound like you?

  • Do you desire to see our country radically affected through the energized efforts of prayer warriors? Consider starting a Prayer/Action Chapter in your community or forming a social media and email team to communicate CWA of Louisiana alerts by volunteering as a Home Team Captain.
  • Do you enjoy the legislative process and have a desire to work on family-related and pro-life issues here in Louisiana? Consider becoming a Legislative Liaison to coordinate our response to legislation through our state alerts, thus encouraging members to write, e-mail, and call to testify on bills related to our seven core issues. Training is provided.

Please contact me by e-mail or phone (504) 236-8546 if you have an interest in more information on joining our CWA of Louisiana team.
