The hit TV show \u201cSurvivor\u201d has nothing on these incredibly beautiful women. Two of them survived being aborted, and the third was conceived in rape and endured the poverty and neglect of being born to a mentally-ill mother before being adopted into a loving family.<\/p>\n

Melissa Ohden<\/a>, Gianna Jessen<\/a>, and Mary Rathke<\/a>, thank you for your witness to the power of God to take any difficulty, any tragedy, and make it into something beautiful and life-giving. You are all extraordinary women of faith, joy, and the kind of beauty that radiates from a heart full of love. You are missionaries,\u00a0helping to change the world.<\/p>\n
