A pro-life ministry in Omaha, Nebraska, has found an innovating new way to reach the next generation. Heart of a Child Ministries has been using ultrasounds to show people the humanity of preborn children within the womb. Founded by Bernie and Nikki Schaefer in 2012, the ministry<\/a> offers ultrasound presentations, along with pro-life prayer pillows, to help build a culture of life.<\/p>\n

One of their recent presentations at a Catholic high school was highlighted in a story in the Omaha World-Herald<\/a>. Haley Lubeck, who is 24 weeks pregnant, sat for an ultrasound conducted by Angela Himmelburg, a professional sonographer who graduated from the University of Jamestown and University of Nebraska Medical Center. Himmelburg narrated throughout. \u201cCan you see the eyes?\u201d she asked, then pointing out, \u201cHere\u2019s an arm right here… there\u2019s a foot digging into the placenta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focus on the Family has also used ultrasounds to try to change hearts and minds, and even hosted a live ultrasound presentation in Times Square last year. Approximately 20,000 people watched what Paul Batura, vice president of communications for Focus on the Family, described to the Omaha World-Herald as a “game-changer,” explaining that the ultrasounds serve as “a window on the womb.”<\/p>\n
