We are a team of Christians – Catholics, Lutherans, and non-denominational Christians who have a passion for communicating the love of Jesus Christ, the gift of the unborn child, and who we ALL are as children of God through Scripture.  We present to Catholic and Christian schools and youth groups.  We utilize live ultrasounds and powerful pro-life testimonials to teach children about the gift of life.

We have three age appropriate presentations for grade school, middle school and high school. All presentations have live ultrasounds administered by professional sonographers to pregnant volunteers. Grade school presentations focus on celebrating the gift of life with young students utilizing song, Scripture and ultrasound.  Middle school presentations also share with students powerful pro-life testimonials about adoption. High school presentations can further address the topic of life through testimonials about abortion and abstinence (yet this is your choice).  

We cater presentations to fit your needs and meet with teachers and/or principals in order to discuss options and develop a presentation that feels right for you and your students.

*For Christian schools we provide teaching that is based on Scripture and the humanity of the unborn.
*For Catholic schools, our presentations are based on Scripture, the humanity of the unborn, and Church teaching.  In April 2016, the Archdiocese of Omaha confirmed that our work is in line with Church teaching and pastoral practice.  We follow the magisterium of the Church.

Testimonials

This was a wonderful pro-life ministry to all our students, grades K-12.  The presenters were professional, knowledgeable, student-friendly and beautifully pro-life.  The presentations were age appropriate and engaging.  The students were very captivated and enlightened.  What a beautiful ministry this group has started!  Learning about each stage of development and showing the live ultrasound to the students in all grades is a wonderful idea.  The students now all have first hand knowledge that it is a baby in the mother's womb and no one out in the world can tell them different!
-Barbara De La Torre, St. Joseph Academy, San Diego, CA
The presentation was fantastic! The presenters were very knowledgeable and conducted themselves in a most professional manner. Students were highly engaged with power points, visual aids, video, and especially with the ultra-sound presentation. An ultra-sound technician offered additional scientific knowledge throughout the presentation, heightened during the scanning of a live baby in the mothers womb aided by volunteer pregnant mothers. Viewing a live ultra-sound was emotional for students and the experience has made them become more sensitive to the cause of being pro-life. I am thankful to Mrs. Schaefer and the Heart of a Child Ministries for sharing God’s plan of life with our students.
-Frank Dunn, Religion teacher at St. Vincent de Paul, Omaha, NE
Heart of a Child Ministries' pro-life workshop is a beautiful and sensitive presentation of the gift of LIFE.  It emphasizes the God given gift of life no matter how small.  Nikki’s passion for the life of the unborn is contagious.  The students were awe struck with the presentation; the hands on activities and the prayer.  As a call to action from this presentation, students are doing a diaper drive for our local Birthright Office.  I highly recommend this presentation and the passionate Pro-Life message that it conveys.
– Religious Ed Teacher, St. Mary Magdalen School, St. Louis, MO
It was such an amazing presentation.  It was organized, thoughtful and sensitive to the topic.  It did not condemn those who have had abortions...instead, it was filled with grace and hope for the sanctity of life!
-Amy Reid, teacher, Omaha Christian Academy
Our students learned the goodness of the child in the womb when Nikki talked with them about the beauty of life. She involved these pre-teens in making pillows for pro-life, and they fundraised with them the next day donating $500 to their local pro-life organization.
- Mary Ley Dey, author of Speak to Your Children, former Birthright Director, Grand Island Central Catholic Middle School
I got to see a mommy with a baby in her tummy!  They also gave me a little baby.  I keep it at school with me.
-Elementary student, Omaha Christian Academy, 7 years old
My students were intensely attentive to all of the presentations.  They asked good questions and received good answers.  Some were even able to help a mother discover the gender of her child while witnessing her ultrasound! When questioned about the worth of the event, they were all in favor it as well as continuing it for future senior classes.  I was pleased with the depth and care expressed by all the presenters.  I intend to schedule this activity next year.
- Mr. Tim Mueting, religious education teacher, Roncalli Catholic Highschool
My mom is pro-choice.  But after seeing this presentation, I know how wrong abortion is.  It is so wrong.  Now I have to pray about how to talk to my mom about it.
