Guests
Cynthia Wenz
Speaker, Founder, Author - Healed for Life Ministries
A nationally recognized voice in the Life movement, Cynthia champions the healing available to all who have directly or indirectly experienced the pain of reproductive grief and loss due to abortion. She was President and CEO for The Source for Women, a holistic reproductive health center from 2009-2017, and has been named one of the Top 30 Most Influential Women in Houston. Cynthia and her Rock-Solid Man of God husband, Chris, live in Houston and have three sons, Roman, Justice, and Caleb.
Healed for Life: A Story of Redemption
The truly remarkable stories are not of lives that have gone astray, but of those who have gone astray and have been incredibly redeemed, and wholly healed. That is Cynthia Wenz’s story, not of a victim, but of someone who learned the healing God offers everyone, and who chose to fully embrace that healing.
At 29, in a flurry of confusion and hurry, Cynthia followed her doctor’s urging for a third abortion. But after weeks of exhaustion, she discovered why she was feeling so odd—she was still pregnant. She had been carrying twins, and one of the babies had survived.
In Healed for Life, Cynthia shares her life story leading up to and beyond that pivotal moment: a story of family abuse and alcoholism, promiscuity, drugs, two teenage abortions, depression, eating disorders, and toxic relationships. But Cynthia learned that, as heartbreaking as a past might be, God can heal—not partially, but fully—and that everyone who has struggled with pain has a choice: to stay submerged in the hurt, or to walk in the fullness of God’s healing.

Claire Culwell
Speaker, Twin Abortion Survivor
Claire Culwell met her biological mother in March of 2009. Her birthmother told her that her life was a miracle.
Claire's biological mom became pregnant at the age of 13. Her mother took her to an abortion clinic where she had a surgical abortion. A few weeks later she realized she was still pregnant so she found an out-of-state late-term abortion clinic to do a second abortion. At the clinic they informed her she had been pregnant with twins...ONE WAS ABORTED; ONE SURVIVED. They said it was too late to do a second abortion. Claire was born 2 weeks later.
Claire was born 2 1/2 months early. She weighed 3 lbs. 2 oz. and was placed on life support. Her hips had been dislocated and her feet were turned inward - all because of the abortion. She was adopted shortly after birth by an amazing family who she wouldn't trade for the world!
Claire now tells her story and speaks up for the unborn so that they can receive the same gift of LIFE she has! She shares her story of survival at many churches and pro-life events and was recently featured in an interview with Focus on the Family. Claire's life is a miracle and true testimony that God has plans for each and every person. The only explanation for Claire's survival is God's mercy and love.
