Share the App for Life
AppForLife.org​
There is a 24-48 hour time frame when a woman decides to keep her child or have an abortion. Options United’s mobile App for Life sends users an urgent prayer alert, asking for your prayers right at the crucial moment so you can send grace to mothers, fathers and children in need. Download the App for Life on your smartphone by searching “Options United App for Life” in Google Play or on the App Store. The App for Life also lists services throughout Southern California, including free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, parenting classes, NFP, and post-abortion healing. Use our Leader’s App Guide, Flyer, Postcard, and Pulpit and Bulletin Announcement​ to share information about the App for Life at your parish. Watch this video for more information on how to use the App for Life.
