Walking Wounded

Presented mainly for pregnancy center events and pro-life functions, as a pregnancy center banquet speaker Sydna Masse presents her personal testimony of having an abortion at 19 while attending a private Christian college. Sydna was the daughter of a Baptist minister who was dating the son of a Methodist minister when they joined the numerous ranks of young Christian couples turning to abortion clinics to “erase their mistake.”

The story of God’s grace through the following years and the power of the Holy Spirit to finally direct Sydna to a Pregnancy Center’s post abortion ministry program are a testimony to the healing power and forgiving nature of our Creator. This is a message of hope and peace, which is rarely heard today in abortion discussions.

FORGIVENESS: BREAKING THE CHAINS

This story was featured in the January, ’99 issue of the Focus on the Family magazine, and the January ’00 issue of Christianity Today. In this talk, Sydna shares the emotional story of how the Lord led her to forgive the woman who murdered her friend and neighbor. This simple act of obedience led to the development of Ramah International’s prison post abortion outreach program. It is Sydna’s experience that 60-80% of women prisoners could be post-abortive. This stirring message of hope and forgiveness is suitable for any audience.

A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE PREGNANCY CENTER

Sydna’s unique seven-year position as Manager of the Crisis Pregnancy Ministry for Focus on the Family allowed her to become an expert on a movement that is gaining strength and stature in the United States today. Highlighted facts include the areas of service Pregnancy Resource Centers provide, as well as a unique testimony of how a local pregnancy center led her back to the Lord after an abortion experience.

As a banquet speaker this presentation is filled with wonderful stories of how individual pregnancy centers have been used by God to affect many hearts with the gospel. It is perfect for pro-life retreats and conferences as well as pregnancy center banquets. Sydna makes a strong appeal to listeners to become involved in their local pregnancy center on a volunteer basis as well as providing prayer coverage and financial support.

SIN’S LASTING CONSEQUENCES

Developed for Focus on the Family’s “Life on the Edge” tour, as a keynote speaker Sydna speaks to younger audiences (teens and college chapel services) about her personal testimony of choosing to have an abortion rather than facing the consequences of a crisis pregnancy and how it affected her life. Transparently, Sydna speaks directly to those who are considering a sexual relationship outside of marriage as well as those who are sexually active as to why abstinence is the best option.

I am writing to recommend Sydna Masse, CEO and Founder of Ramah International, Inc. as a speaker for your event. In February of 2021 we held our annual Celebration of Life banquet, and we chose her as our Keynote speaker. We were incredibly pleased with the choice and I know you will be too.

Sydna was wonderful and her story is very captivating. She shared about her experience of abortion as a post-abortive Christian woman and the redemptive power of the Lord. She was able to articulate exactly her experience in the abortion clinic that you almost felt like you were there with her. I feel this is a must to be knowledgeable of what really goes on in abortion clinics and for people to fully engage in the fight for life.

In addition to her time speaking, she made a point to speak to our Board of Directors and to gain insight into our center and what our specific needs were. She is easy to talk to and very genuine.

Again, I would like to recommend Sydna as a speaker for your event. I know you will be pleased!!

This year’s banquet marked our 19th annual banquet. We had countless attendees’ comment “This was your best banquet ever”. Sydna’s presentation was perfect for this year’s Banquet crowd. She was very articulate, spoke with great authority and clearly unpacked the journey and pain of abortion. Sydna’s story of her journey in the pregnancy center ministry was powerful. She presented abortion statistics that our banquet attendees were shocked to hear—yet they said they needed to hear! We would wholeheartedly recommend Sydna Masse as your guest banquet speaker. Not only did Sydna present a powerful message for life, she also wove a great financial appeal throughout her message! Please consider Sydna as your next banquet speaker.

It was an incredible blessing to have Sydna as our banquet speaker this year. She shares her testimony with grace and humility, spotlighting the redemptive work of Christ.
Sydna did an amazingjob and I am happy to say I have heard only positive comments from banquet attendees and Board members alike! Many attending our banquet said they hadn’t really understood the work we do or the impact we can have in the lives of our clients -Sydna opened their eyes. Our banquet was a huge success, surpassing our financial goal by $4,000!
