David Bereit

 


Ambassador Speakers Bureau
Exclusively Representing David Bereit

David is leading this fall's groundbreaking 40 Days for Life campaign that is uniting 89 cities in 33 states for the largest simultaneous pro-life mobilization in American history. 40 Days for Life is an intensive pro-life campaign focusing on prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and grassroots outreach and education.

 

David first became an outspoken pro-life advocate after Planned Parenthood announced plans to build an abortion clinic in his Texas town in 1998. As a volunteer, he helped to start and build a local coalition that rallied 60 churches and thousands of people together for life and slashed abortions in the area by more than 40%. Planned Parenthood recognized the effectiveness of David's efforts when it labeled his town "the most anti-choice place in the nation."

 

David moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 2005 where he served as Executive Director of American Life League and National Director of STOPP International (Stop Planned Parenthood) until being asked to lead the national 40 Days for Life campaign.

 

His work has been featured in the media hundreds of times, including coverage on Fox News, HBO, ABC, NBC, and CBS television stations, numerous radio programs, and in over 100 newspapers across the country including USA Today, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. He has debated top abortion industry insiders including Gloria Feldt, former president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, and Kate Michelman, former president of NARAL.

 

David is a popular pro-life speaker who has inspired audiences across America and internationally at conventions, rallies, pregnancy center banquets, schools, churches, and local pro-life events.

 

David is married to his best friend Margaret, and they reside in Fredericksburg, Virginia with their two young children, Claire and Patrick.

 “David was absolutely awesome. I knew he would great, but he far exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciated his willingness to “serve” our organization in whatever way we requested. He did a fantastic job of weaving the pro-life message with the work of Elizabeth’s New Life Center to those in attendance. I have received numerous positive comments that David has been the very best speaker we have presented. In fact, I liked David so well, we have arranged for him to return to be our speaker at our two Fall Banquets in September! I would highly recommend other pro-life organizations to bring David to their fundraising event – they will not be disappointed.”

Elizabeth’s New Life Center

 

“I finally have a minute to email you to tell you what an awesome speaker David Bereit is. David spoke at the Mason County Right to Life, Focus on Life Banquet on April 26.  From the moment he took the microphone in his hand he had our guests captivated. We were amazed at the way he had researched what was going on in Michigan and tied that into his talk. I'm sure his enthusiasm had a lot to do with our record fund raising effort for the Right to Life of Michigan Education Fund.”

Mason County Right to Life

 

“You (David) did an amazing job and we had so many positive comments about your speaking.  You were great.  Thanks for all the prayers.  Right now it looks like we will have a 28% increase in donations which is great considering we had 46 less people!”

“He exceeded our expectations! I appreciated David coming in a day ahead of time, spending time to get to know us and our community.  I wish I would have scheduled a pastor's lunch!  David's plea went as a natural conclusion to his message.  He put the heart of our particular center in the entire message including the plea.  We exceeded our budgeted goal of $55,000.  We cleared $94,000!”

“Absolutely everyone I talked to about the banquet thought you were a very gifted, inspiring speaker.  The program went over the length we promised people by about 20 minutes, but not one person has complained about that and I know it is because you are such a dynamic speaker with a motivating message!!  Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to our event.  We made our goal of the additional $2000.00 a month in support…that will make it possible for us to continue the steps to go medical …Wow, God is good!!!”

Caring Center 

Casper, WY 

 

“What a wonderful evening we had with you last week...thanks so much for listening to God's heart and bringing His message.  Financially, The Gala saw approximately…26% (growth) over last year and we praise God and thank you for your help! I have received many, many comments about your talk. People loved the story about Lincoln...it gets them thinking about the value of coming out of their seat and getting involved!”

Pregnancy Resource Center 

Grand Rapids, MI 

“Your talk was not only motivational for those not familiar with this ministry, but it was so encouraging to all of us involved in the ministry. Do you remember the goals we had set for the banquet?  As of yesterday the giving and pledges of monthly support amounted to $47,973.00.  This includes wish list gifts of a projector for $1,500 and building repair work of $1,000.  And that's not all.  Our wish list included a $40,000 mortgage.  One couple pledged to give $20,000 if we raise the other $20,000!  Paying off this mortgage will save us $5,000 per year in P & I payments. God is able to do so much more than we can even imagine!”

"There is good news. When all was tallied, we found that by last week, we had received almost double the amount of money and pledges that we had received in the same amount of time as last year! We credit much of this to your dynamic presentation."

Ellen Markham


Dubuque County Right to Life

"I think your presentations are not only informative and spellbinding, but your use of visual effects to drive home your message is professionally done and beautifully timed. I only regretted that you had a time limit on your talk. The time I heard you, you could have held an audience for hours."

Joe Scheidler


Pro-Life Action Ministries

"God is using you in a mighty way!"

Carol Everett

Former abortionist

 

"I liked your presentation. You have your own style and it is effective."

Dr. John C. Willke

Life Issues Institute

 

"When I sat in the back of the room and listened to your presentation in New Orleans and the powerful manner in which you used multimedia I was so impressed, there are really no words to express it. I have asked our editor to contact you about doing a story for Celebrate Life focused on your work, and encouraging our readers to contact you and invite you to speak. You are on fire for the truth and convinced that with God all things are possible. And that is what motivates people. It is the can-do spirit that must be shared with others."

Judie Brown

American Life League

"Thank you so much for your generosity in accepting our invitation to speak at the gathering for the Texas Rally for Life! You gave a tremendously motivating pro-life talk."

"Motivating and energetic!"

 

"Awesome, awesome! Truly inspiring and motivated me to change the world for Christ!"
