Brooks Ryan Day 2 Saturday, April 6th
REGISTRATION CLOSES AT EXACTLY 9am.
Please plan to attend this year's Prayer Breakfast with special Guest Speaker, BROOKS RYAN, CO-star of the new movie that exposes the secrets behind the doors of Planned Parenthood.
Brooks plays Doug Johnson, husband of Abbie Johnson the woman who fought Planned Parenthood... and WON!
All Abby Johnson ever wanted to do was help women. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, she was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women about their reproductive choices. Until the day she saw something that changed everything.
Being a loving husband, Doug always supported Abby but opposed her working for an abortion clinic, faithfully praying until the day she quit.
Unplanned unfolds a fascinating transformation in the life of Abby Johnson, examining her journey from Planned Parenthood clinic director to becoming a leading advocate for life and women in crisis. Unplanned reveals the challenges confronting Abby as she walked away from her job at a key Texas Planned Parenthood clinic and walked into the Coalition for Life office down the street. The film unveils that this incredible turning point was preceded by years of misguided hopes, searching - and a moment of pure awakening. Abby recounts her journey as an idealistic and impressionable college student that led to her position as a director of a Planned Parenthood clinic. She describes the dramatic moments in that clinic that changed her life forever and set her on a new path.
Join us as we hear from Brooks about his personal story of life, forgiveness and redemption. 1000 movie theaters will show #Unplanned opening weekend March 29 - find yours here: http://UnplannedTickets.com Tickets for the breakfast are $30 and can be purchased with other convention activity reservations at okgop.com
