Children are like tiny flowers: They are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers. - Friedrich Frobel PHOTO CAPTION: EveryLife Launches "Make More Babies" Campaign in Times Square [PHOTO SOURCE: https://everylife.com/blogs/news/everylife-launches-make-more-babies-campaign-in-times-square] |
On July 14, 2023, EveryLife, an American consumer goods brand widely known as the market's first overtly faith-based, pro-life diaper and baby care company was founded. The company positions itself as an alternative to mainstream diaper brands, explicitly stating that it does not fund or support abortion advocacy.
Coincidentally, July 14, is the birthday of John Troyer, who was known as the Amish-Mennonite man with the most children. He had 31 children, 29 was his and 2 were those by his second wife of a former marriage. I will post an article by the founder of EveryLife, Sarah Gabel Seifert before I give my thoughts and also post prayers for more babies.
"ילדים הם שמחה" (yeldim hem simcha). The Hebrew phrase for "children are a joy" is "ילדים הם שמחה"
(yeldim hem simcha). "ילדים" (yeldim) means
"children", and "שמחה" (simcha) means "joy" or
"gladness". TOP: An ultra-orthodox family. Bottom: An Amish Family. Notice the

Restoring a pro-family, pro-child culture
September 3, 2024 10:17 am
Make more babies.
Those words are decidedly not what parents are hearing today. But it’s exactly what they need to hear. The future of our country depends on it.

“‘Make More Babies’— it’s a powerful affirmation of our core conviction
that every child is a gift, deserving love, protection, and support. No other
diaper company will speak out and say the same.” [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=286919944408231&set=a.155783220855238] |
America is on the precipice of a demographic crisis. Over the past few decades, our birth rate has plummeted. In 2023, the U.S. birth rate fell to 1.62 births per woman, well below the replacement level of 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population. This marks a sharp decline from the 1950s, when the birth rate hovered around 3.4. While some fluctuation in birth rates is natural, the downward trend is unprecedented and deeply alarming for the future outlook of our country.
This trend is not just a matter of numbers. It’s a reflection of a society increasingly soaked in an anti-family ideology that views children as burdens rather than blessings.
In today’s world, parents and would-be parents are bombarded with messages that devalue the idea of raising children. From TED Talks to the legacy media, the narrative being pushed is clear: Children are expensive, environmentally irresponsible, and, quite frankly, just a burden. This anti-natalist sentiment, propagated by influential voices such as Bill Gates and Bill Nye, has taken root in our culture.

President and co-founder of EveryLife, Sarah Gabel Seifert, sat down with Gabe to share how her experience as a Christian mother fueled the creation and mission to provide premium products for every baby—because every baby is a miracle from God who deserves to be loved, protected, and supported. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1108939447901400&set=a.636264131835603] |
The economic ramifications of the baby bust are severe. America’s entitlement system depends on a robust workforce to fund Social Security and healthcare for retirees. As birth rates fall, the workforce shrinks, leading to fewer taxpayers to sustain these essential services. In 1960, there were 5.1 working-age adults for every retiree. Today, that ratio has dropped to 2.8. Compounding this problem is the fact that retirees are living longer, which increases the financial strain on a shrinking pool of contributors.
The baby bust comes at a time when global economic competition is fiercer than ever. Younger generations have historically been the engines of innovation and entrepreneurship. A robust workforce is essential to sustaining America’s position as the world’s most productive and prosperous economy. Indeed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that a shrinking labor force will play a role in dampening U.S. economic growth over the next decade.

However, this problem extends far beyond economics. The choice not to bring new life into the world strikes at the heart of our cultural, societal, and moral fabric. A society that fails to value children is one that risks losing its sense of purpose, continuity, and responsibility.
Children are the bearers of our values, traditions, and aspirations. Without them, we risk losing our shared sense of identity and direction as a nation.
While government policies can help address the crisis, they certainly cannot solve it alone. This is a problem that touches something much deeper within us. We, as a society, need a profound shift in how we view children. They are not burdens. They are blessings.

This belief is the ethos behind EveryLife, a company I started with other parents who are committed to celebrating and supporting every miraculous life. Unlike major diaper brands that simultaneously sell baby products while promoting abortion and anti-family ideologies, EveryLife stands firm in the belief that every child is a gift from God to be cherished.

That is why I am so passionate about this topic. Our cultural framework must change. We must reject the anti-family, anti-life, and anti-human ideologies that have overtaken our institutions. As a nation, we must heed the words of thought leaders such as Elon Musk who remind us that “having children is saving the world.”

Children teach us about love, hope, and excitement for the future. They are the foundation of a thriving society, and we must cherish them if we are to overcome the demographic challenges we face.

MY THOUGHTS AND ENDORSEMENTS:
I agree with what Sarah Seifert wrote above. The world needs more children. If you watch the documentary film by demographer, Stephen J Shaw – Birthgap: Childless World – it is about the global decline in birth rates, with a focus on the rise of childlessness and its societal consequences, you will understand why.
I endorse EveryLife. As a Christian and Pro Life Family advocate myself, I fully give my 100% support to the Company and I encourage people to buy those baby products from them. I admire and respect Sarah Seifert for what she is doing and I will pray for her success, I also encourage she and her husband for wanting to have more children. I recommend that they sell products to Christian groups like both Protestants and Anabaptists, as they have large families too.
As George Muller, the Evangelist who cared for more than 10,000 orphans said:
Here is the great secret of success. Work with all your might; but trust
not in the least in your work. Pray with all your might for the blessing of
God; but work, at the same time, with all diligence, with all patience, with
all perseverance. Pray then, and work. Work and pray. And still again pray, and
then work. And so on all the days of your life. The result will surely be,
abundant blessing. Whether you see much fruit or little fruit, such kind of
service will be blessed. - George Muller [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/698076] https://lutherandcalvinbrigade914.blogspot.com/2026/03/george-muller-on-doctrines-of-grace.html

Prayer for Spouses who wants to have children.
Jan 19, 2025
By Mildred Kingsley Okonkwo
Father in Jesus name, I agree with your word today that my husband and I are fruitful. Your word says there shall not be any barren among us whether male or female. Therefore, I declare that our bodies are obedient and responsive to your word. We multiply and we reproduce by your command in Jesus name.
Father, I re-affirm your word over my life today. I declare that everything we take into our bodies is blessed. All sicknesses, especially infertility causing ones, like PCOS, fibroids, polyps, endometriosis and others are removed. I agree that because your word says none shall be barren: my husband and I are fruitful. I declare I will never have a miscarriage. I will carry to full term. My husband, I and our children will live long and full lives in Jesus name.
Lord, I stand confident in the fact that you are not a man. It is impossible for you to lie. As soon as you say a thing, it becomes the truth. Truth is your nature. So, I thank you because you keep your promises which gives me the confidence that you’ll keep your promise of fruitfulness to us.
My husband and I are blessed and empowered to be fruitful. We declare that no one can alter the blessings — no divination, no evil dreams, no wicked or unreasonable person in our lives. We are blessed and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. Hallelujah!
My Lord and my God, because there is nothing too hard for you to do, I lift up my case to you. Today, I report whatever the doctor’s report says back to you my omniscient God.
(List all the doctors have told you)
I know that you will sort these all out — correct all that needs correcting, cancel all that needs cancelling and heal all that needs healing in my body and my husband’s body. I declare that the angel armies go to war for us in Jesus name.
Father in Jesus name, I declare with every breath in me that you are a faithful God! As I meditate on Abraham and Sarah’s testimony, I declare that no matter how long it takes, I judge you faithful and that what you did for them you will do for my husband and I too. I declare in Jesus name that our organs are healthy and strong enough to conceive. Our bodies are quickened and made alive to conceive, to carry to full term and to deliver children irrespective of their ‘dead’ state in Jesus name.
Lord, I receive this word as my word. It resonates with my spirit so I believe it and I receive it. I declare that by this time next year my story would have changed. I declare in faith that my appointed time is NOW. My day of visitation is here. So by this time next year, we will have our babies in Jesus name.
Father, I thank you for your word. In fact, today is worth celebrating. I affirm today as I pray that I am a fruitful vine — I bear many children even in multiples. I declare that our home will be rich with healthy children and our children will surround our table. My husband and I will have as many as we want because one child does not surround a table. We also put an end to secondary infertility in Jesus name.
In the name of Jesus, today I agree that every word God has spoken to me will connect with my spirit and make life in my womb because it is a spirit-word and it is life making. I have no confidence in the flesh because that which is of the natural realm is of no help. My husband and I receive strength from the Holy Spirit and together we make life in Jesus name.
Irrespective of the longevity of the infertility battle we have had to face, I refuse to doubt you my God; I refuse to tiptoe around your promises or ask cautiously skeptical questions. Instead, we plunge into your promises and receive the strength required to build faith to become parents in Jesus name. PRAYER FOCUS I declare that my husband and I are ready for God. We are sure — very confident — that God has all that is needed to make good on His promise. And instead of complaining or worrying, we give Him glory and refuse to glorify the situation in Jesus name.
Father, I am aware that you desire children and for that reason I pray today that our bodies and minds align to be channels to bring you the godly children you want. I agree to be a part of your ultimate plan. We receive these children so that we can raise them for you as godly seed in Jesus name.
Father in Jesus name, I thank you that today is a day of rejoicing because my husband and I are ending up with far more children than those considered fertile.
Lord, today I give you thanks because you are the God who always finishes what He starts. You always keep your promises. Complete what you started in my life by joining me to my husband in marriage; perfect all that concerns me. I’m grateful that you will never quit on me. I ask that our bodies and minds be positioned to receive all your promises of fruitfulness in Jesus name.
I pray that my home is constantly joyful with children. We are happy parents surrounded by our pride and joy in Jesus name. Hallelujah! I declare that nothing will be able to steal our joy. We maintain our joy and peace. Our marital bliss remains intact as we wait for our home to be filled with children in Jesus name.
I declare that my husband and I are unlimited. This means that we can do all things including conceive, carry to full term and deliver healthy babies in Jesus name. I declare that we are fruitful in Jesus name. I decree that infertility cannot hold us down. We are empowered and strengthened in Jesus name. We are infused with inner strength and confident peace. We do not fret or worry because we agree with God’s word. I declare that we are fruitful in Jesus name.
Father, I thank you that your power works in my husband and I to accomplish conception, pregnancy and delivery. I declare that God’s miraculous power continually energizes us in Jesus name. I am sure that you will achieve infinitely more than my greatest request, surpass my most unbelievable dream and exceed my wildest imagination. In fact, you will outdo them all in Jesus name.
Father, I thank you for being such a faithful God. Today, I declare that our ‘sterile’ and ‘infertile’ bodies are yearning for fruitfulness. Therefore, we receive deliverance because they that hunger and thirst must be filled.
I declare that no matter how long my husband and I wait, it doesn’t diminish us. Instead, we are enlarged the same way pregnant mothers are and we are filled with joyful expectation because we are confident that our prayers will be answered in Jesus name.
My Father and my God, today I give thanks because I am grateful for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I am grateful that whenever we get tired in this waiting period, the Spirit is right alongside helping us along. And if at any point we don’t know how or what to pray, He steps in immediately and does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans and our silent tears.
I am grateful that the Holy Spirit knows us far better than we know ourselves. He knows my pregnant condition which means that I am pregnant! Hallelujah! He keeps us present before God as He constantly intercedes for us. That’s why I’m so sure that in the end, our mouths will be filled with praise and our hearts with rejoicing. I’m sure this will end in praise.
Father, today I rejoice because your word tells me that God is on our side and we can’t lose. I rejoice because you said you would gladly and freely give us anything we ask. If you didn’t withhold your Son, I am convinced that you will gladly and freely give me all things. I rejoice because my testimony is on the way. Hallelujah!
Father, my prayer today is that my husband and I will not waver in faith and hope. We receive the strength to do away with any negative talk and reports that threaten to drain our faith and rob us of our hope. I declare that we stand firm on God’s word with the certainty of its manifestation. Because I am sure that God can be trusted, I declare that we receive our miracles in Jesus name.
I declare that because we have believed, this is for us a season of fulfilment. I declare that we will behold with our eyes and handle with our hands the fulfilment of God’s promises to us in Jesus name.
Father, because your word says if I believe that I receive these things that I have asked, then surely I will have them in Jesus name. I give you thanks in Jesus name. Amen

What does 1 Samuel 2:21
mean? "And the LORD
visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters.
And the child Samuel grew before the LORD." - 1 Samuel 2:21 The verse 1 Samuel 2:21
in the King James Version of the Bible states, "And the Lord visited
Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the
child Samuel grew before the Lord." This verse comes from a larger passage
that tells the story of Hannah, a woman who was barren and greatly distressed
because she was unable to conceive a child. She prayed fervently to the Lord,
and her prayers were answered when she gave birth to a son, Samuel. The context of this
verse is set in the time of the Judges, a tumultuous period in Israel's
history. Hannah's story takes place in the town of Ramathaim-Zophim, where she
is one of two wives of a man named Elkanah. The other wife, Peninnah, had
children, which caused Hannah great anguish. However, despite her pain and
longing for a child, she continued to pray to the Lord and express her
faithfulness. In this verse, we see
the fulfillment of the Lord's promise to Hannah. After years of anguish and
prayer, the Lord "visited" her, which can be understood as God
showing favor and granting her the desires of her heart. This visitation
resulted in Hannah conceiving and bearing five children, three sons, and two
daughters. This demonstrates the abundant blessings that the Lord can bestow
upon those who are faithful and seek Him with all their hearts. The verse also
highlights the growth of Samuel, who would go on to become a significant figure
in Israel's history. It is noteworthy that the child Samuel is described as
growing "before the Lord." This suggests that he was being raised in
a manner that was pleasing to God, and that he was being prepared for a special
purpose in the service of the Lord. The themes present in 1
Samuel 2:21 include the faithfulness of God, the power of prayer, and the
fulfillment of promises. Hannah's story is a testament to the fact that God
hears the cries of His people and is able to intervene in their lives in
miraculous ways. It also emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful and
steadfast, even in the face of great hardship and despair. Symbolically, Hannah's
story can be seen as a representation of the hope and restoration that God can
bring into the lives of those who trust in Him. The fact that Hannah's
barrenness was reversed and that she was blessed with five children serves as a
powerful symbol of God's ability to bring new life and abundance where there
was once emptiness and lack. Furthermore, the birth
of Samuel holds great significance as he becomes a powerful prophet, priest,
and judge in Israel, playing a crucial role in the transition from the period
of the Judges to the establishment of the monarchy under King Saul and King David.
As such, Samuel's growth "before the Lord" can be seen as a symbol of
his dedication and commitment to serving God, as well as the divine guidance
and protection that he would receive throughout his life. In conclusion, 1 Samuel
2:21 is a verse that holds deep meaning and significance within the larger
narrative of the Bible. It serves as a powerful testament to the faithfulness
of God, the transformative power of prayer, and the fulfillment of His promises.
The story of Hannah and Samuel continues to inspire and encourage believers to
trust in God's timing and to remain steadfast in their faith, knowing that He
is able to bring new life and blessings beyond measure. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://bible.art/meaning/1-samuel-2%3A21] https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2025/05/2025-mothers-day-sermons.html

One night, Sarah Gabel Seifert fell asleep and had a dream that would change the course of her life. She found herself in a factory in a war-torn land, stumbling into a room filled with empty cribs and women on operating tables. When she awoke, she knew: God was calling her to a mission. Years later, that mission took an unexpected form when He placed on her heart the idea to found a pro-life diaper company. Today, Sarah and her husband are pioneers in a new marketplace where consumers intentionally choose products from companies that uphold, rather than oppose, their values.
In this episode, you’ll hear Sarah’s powerful story of radical surrender, how to recognize the mission God is crafting uniquely for you, and how motherhood has deepened her inspiration and fueled her ability to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams.

BABYLAND IN ISRAEL – ISRAEL’S BABY BOOM
https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2026/03/babyland-in-israel-israels-baby-boom.html
The Hebrew phrase for "children are a joy" is "ילדים הם שמחה" (yeldim hem simcha). "ילדים" (yeldim) means "children", and "שמחה" (simcha) means "joy" or "gladness". Israel is the only OECD countries that have the highest fertility rate of 2.91 per woman.
From September 2023 to September 2024, about 183,000 babies were born in Israel, meaning that more than 400 babies were born per day. There was a similar case in 2022, in its annual Amish population study, the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College estimates that 1,450 Amish babies were born in Lancaster County last year. Only 145 Amish of all ages died. That population increase of 1,305 brought the total number of Amish living here to 44,315. There were more Amish births than deaths in that state.
