Save the Storks has an interesting history.
David Pomerantz went on an evangelistic mission trip as a student at Word of Life. In New York City, he met Julie Beyel, a counselor with Expectant Mother Care. EMC was the leader in the number of “saves” at Abortion Clinics in the country. They were using small shuttle busses to provide sonograms to women at the door of abortion clinics in New York City.
This was eye opening experience to Dave. He immediately invited Joe Baker, Daryl Harshbarger and a few other friends to New York City for a training session. This trip changed our lives as we were able to assist in seeing many women choose life while we were there. Together we brainstormed on how to bring this concept nation-wide. Out of that discussion came the vision for Save The Storks.
Dave moved to Dallas for college, where he met Carolyn Cline of the Downtown Pregnancy Center. In the Lord’s providence, Save the Storks was an answer to Carolyn’s prayer. God had laid it on her heart to save 1000 babies in 2012 and she didn’t have a clue how she was going to do that until she met Dave. A stork bus would likely save 250 to 300 babies in the Dallas area servicing five different abortion clinics. An immediate partnership was formed and fundraising began for the Dallas Stork Bus, the first in our fleet.
