You don’t have to be an attorney, politician, or work for a nonprofit to make a difference for moms and babies at risk of abortion.

Billy Gibula shows you can change lives right where God plants you.

Billy first discovered his passion for the Pro-Life movement in high school after attending the March for Life in Washington, D.C. He sensed God calling him to do more, even though he had no idea what that would eventually look like.

When Billy started college at the University of Dallas, he looked for ways to put that calling into action. That’s when he became one of the very first students in Texas Right to Life’s Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship in 2008.

The Fellowship connected Billy with mentors, practical training, and a community of students who shared his commitment to saving moms and babies from abortion. Instead of simply learning about the Pro-Life movement, he was challenged to grow as a leader.

Billy served as president of Crusaders for Life at the University of Dallas, a group still active to this day.

One of Billy’s favorite projects with the group was “Hundreds Day.” Each semester, the Crusaders for Life gathered more than 100 students on a Saturday morning to pray outside an abortion facility.

They sang hymns, read scripture, and inspired women to choose Life instead of walking inside the abortion clinic.

Those experiences taught Billy something that has stayed with him ever since: Ordinary people, working together, can make an extraordinary difference.

Today, Billy is married with four children and works in finance.

But his Pro-Life mission didn’t end when he graduated.

Billy and his wife thought of a simple way to continue helping moms and babies. They organized volunteers to make home-cooked meals for mothers at a local pregnancy resource center.

Many of these women are raising several children on their own. Some have no family nearby. Others are facing overwhelming financial hardship.

Billy realized something simple: Families at church often receive meal trains after welcoming a new baby. Why shouldn’t vulnerable mothers receive the same love?

They asked friends and family to cook meals from their own kitchens and deliver them to a local pregnancy center, who would then give the meal to a mother in need. The response was overwhelming.

In its first year alone, volunteers provided nearly 200 meals.

He reflected:

“The first month that we did meals, this mom came to pick up the meal with her son and her son looked at her when they were getting the meal and he said, ‘Do we know these people? Like who made us this meal? Do we know them?’ And the mom said, ‘No, but we know the Spirit in them.’ It just encompasses what this ministry is about. We’re being the hands and feet of Christ for others.”

Billy’s story reminds us that defending Life doesn’t always require a microphone, a courtroom, or a full-time ministry position.

Sometimes it looks like organizing 100 college students to pray outside an abortion facility.

Sometimes it looks like cooking lasagna for a mom who’s wondering if anyone cares.

The Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship helped prepare Billy to lead during college.

More importantly, it helped shape a lifelong commitment to serving others wherever God called him.

That’s exactly what the Fellowship is designed to do.

Wherever our students go, they carry the same mission: protecting innocent human Life and building a culture where every mother and every baby is welcomed.

If you’re a college student who wants your faith and convictions to make a lasting difference, the Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship can help prepare you—not just for four years on campus, but for a lifetime of Pro-Life leadership.
