Rachel Adela Roe Age: 18 What was your first experience with pro-life work? I was fifteen, a sophomore in high school, and God directed me to a forum post about the Students' Day of Silent Solidarity. I participated in that, and within seven months I was in Virginia for my first Stand True Summer Tour. Because God is awesome and knows exactly what He wants me to do. As I said above, I went on half tour the summer I was sixteen; I loved it, and wanted to come back in summer 2007. God had other plans for me - including pro-life training in California - and now He is letting me come back. I'm happy about it, and God made it pretty clear this is where He wants me . . . so I'm working with Stand True this summer because both God and I think it's a good idea (which is rare - usually God has much better ideas than I do, and I still try to get my way). Since I have to pick just one . . . Ephesians 2:8 - It is by grace that you were saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God." I don't have what it takes to be a Christian or to be anything. God gives me everything , and the awesome part about that is I can lean on Him for everything , taking from Him when I don't have what it takes to make it through the next five minutes. Eclipse , by Stephenie Meyer. However, this is subject to change without notice. I wasn't aware that I had one. I admire a lot of people, but I wouldn't say that any one was my hero.
