Why a Director of Mission Formation?
The complexity of abortion demands a dynamic response. The prevalent,
personal tragedy of abortion demands a relational response. The hostility
against a culture of life demands both education and leadership
formation. Dynamic, relational Pro-Life Missionaries transform students to
change culture and save lives through teaching, serving, and leading on
campus.

Vision

We envision college campuses and Midwest communities to be centers for a culture of life where people treat life with love, new life is welcomed with joy, and people suffering from abortion are led to healing hope.

Form Student Leaders

Our mission is to mentor college students into skilled, virtuous, pro-life leaders, so they can
build and nurture a culture of life on campus and in their future communities.

Lead the Midwest

WeDignify oversees the Illinois March for Life, the largest pro-life event in the Midwest.
