Meet the Team

Gavin Gillen

Incoming Missions Outreach Coordinator

Before joining Pro-Life Global, I worked as a foreman for a Christian landscaping and construction company. I was raised in a church-going home and attended a private Christian school from kindergarten through eighth grade. I am a born-again disciple of Jesus Christ. My faith is grounded in the belief that God is the Creator of all human life and that every person is made in His image. Because of this, I believe every human life possesses inherent dignity, immeasurable value, and God-given purpose.

Gavin's Heart

"My heart for discipleship is rooted in a sincere desire to follow Jesus faithfully and help others grow in their relationship with Him. I believe spiritual growth happens through intentional discipleship, biblical teaching, and genuine relationships. That's why I serve in campus ministry at the University of Minnesota, where I host a Bible study for students to come, hear the gospel, and grow in their faith."

✓ 73 million preborn babies are aborted worldwide each year.

Bethany Janzen

Co-Founder, Board President & CEO

Bethany Janzen is the president and co-founder of Pro-Life Global, the first Christian global pro-life youth organization, aiming to end abortion worldwide. Founded in 2021, Pro-Life Global already serves the leaders of 60 youth-led LIFE Teams in 15 countries, has trained 23,000 young leaders, and rescued 530 moms and babies from abortion. Janzen has helped launch pro-life student movements in five continents, trained thousands of young leaders to reach their communities, and led strategy sessions with pro-life leaders across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the US.

Bethany led several student groups, served as PR coordinator for her state senator, and participated in a Young Global Pioneers journey to China before graduating from Corban University with her bachelors in Political Science with a concentration in Political Entrepreneurship and double minor in Business Administration and Biblical Studies in 2016. Upon graduation, she worked for Students for Life of America, training and mentoring pro-life students as Rocky Mountain Regional Coordinator from 2016-2018. While working for Students for Life, she started 20 pro-life clubs, trained 1,200 students, appeared in 17 media outlets, organized mobilizations, and hosted 48 displays on campuses.

In 2018, Bethany moved to Austria to serve as director of strategy for Jugend fuer das Leben Austria and then ProLife Europe, helping launch it in March, 2019. She mentored the team to launch the first ever official pro-life university groups in Germany and expand on campus outreach in Austria. Then Bethany took on European development, leading ProLife Europe’s expansion into new countries and finding local leaders to head up the groups and operations in their respective nations. By summer 2021, ProLife Europe was active in 10 countries and served over 30 ProLife Europe student groups. At this point, Bethany saw the need to equip pro-life young people in developing countries to lead successful and professional pro-life movements, countering the abortion industry and political agenda thrust upon them by the West, leading to the founding of Pro-Life Global. Bethany is the host of the podcast LIFESAVERS and has spoken at conferences and March for Life events in the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. She currently resides in Florida with her husband.
