A Call to Action
The 11-minute film delivers a poignant message for the twenty-first century and the current genocide that is taking place with unborn children. It was shot on location in Holland and is being used to raise awareness for the pro-life movement. Director Jeremy Wiles spoke about the impact that the film has already created, stating, "Churches all across the nation have been showing the film during their Sunday services, and it's because the film has a timely and important message. The church just can't continue to sing louder."
With Sanctity of Human Life Sunday following the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20, the film is a timely reminder that the church cannot sit idly by and wait for the government to take action on abortion. We must raise our voices for those who have no voice, and stand up for the sanctity of human life.

Where can my church download Sing A Little Louder for free?
Churches and groups can download the film at no cost from KingdomWorks.com and show it on January 22. The free download is not just the film. It also includes discussion questions and practical suggestions for how a congregation can become a voice for unborn children, along with ideas for supporting women and families who are facing an unexpected pregnancy.
How long is the Sing A Little Louder film?
The featurette runs eleven minutes, which makes it short enough to drop into a Sunday service without reworking the whole order of worship. It was shot on location in Holland and set in Germany during the Jewish Holocaust. Thousands of churches around the world began showing it in 2017, and it continues to be used to raise awareness for the pro-life movement.
Why does the film connect the Holocaust to abortion?
Because it is built on the account of an elderly man who, as a young churchgoer, witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust from his own pew and did nothing but sing louder. He retold that story to confront the church with a parallel: abortion as a modern-day Holocaust, with far greater casualties. Director Jeremy Wiles puts the challenge plainly: "The church just can't continue to sing louder."
What can our church do besides showing the film?
Take the next concrete step rather than letting the Sunday stand alone. The discussion questions in the download are designed to move a congregation from watching to acting on behalf of the vulnerable. Churches looking for an ongoing way to fight for life and for families can also start a Conquer Group, which gives men a place to deal honestly with sexual sin rather than waiting for the fallout.
What Scripture anchors Sanctity of Human Life Sunday?
One verse sits at the center of it: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40). The day itself is a reminder that human life carries God-given value and needs protecting. The call is not to wait for the government to act, but to raise our voices for those who have none.
