Register to Publish Dispatches From ‘Crossroads’ Walk

Joe Flipper, a senior at Franciscan University, will be the Register's on-the-scene reporter for this year's Crossroads campaign. Every other week 22-year-old, Idaho-born Flipper will provide readers with an inside look at what's taking place as they travel from city to city across America, witnessing to life.

As a result of earlier Register reporting on a dynamic young group called Rock For Life, Andrew Daub of Crossroads spoke with Bryan Kemper of Rock For Life and they have tentatively slated a pro-life concert and rally for St. Louis mid-summer. For more information on this event, call either Rock For Life at 503-238-0457, or Crossroads at 800-277-9763.
