Kristen New, MSW - Presenter

Kristen has a masters degree in social work.  She is a former atheist and counselor who worked in the abortion industry.  Through the prayers of one woman and through seeing a second trimester abortion on ultrasound, Kristen left the abortion industry, became pro-life,  and through God's grace, was converted to Christianity.
