Three doctors told them to abort their baby because of an adverse medical diagnosis. The doctors said the baby would die and the mother’s life could also be in danger. But Peter and Suzanne Guy, bolstered by their Christian faith, refused to give up hope for their daughter. Encouraged by Suzanne's mother, they believed 'If there is a heartbeat, there is hope'. Their daughter, Rachel, was born prematurely at 26 weeks weighing 1 lb 2 ozs. Despite the challenges she faced in the NICU, she triumphed and is now leading a healthy life.
Together, Suzanne and her daughter Rachel have become a powerful pro-life speaking team. They aim to inspire others to choose life, advocate for policy changes within the medical community and lobby for prolife legislation without any exceptions to protect all lives inside the womb. Their compelling story has reached audiences through various media outlets including Fox & Friends, LiveAction, Glenn Beck, and Focus on the Family.
Suzanne and Rachel lead the Marietta 40 Days for Life 365 and Marietta Sidewalk Advocates for Life campaigns. They were honored with the 2022 Sue Thayer Leader of the Year Award by 40 Days for Life and have volunteered at a local pregnancy resource center, supporting women in crisis.
Suzanne also founded LIV (Life Initiatives & Values) and mentors teens through Elite Women of Excellence. Rachel, currently pursuing a Master’s in Bioethics at Trinity International University, established hisloveandcare.com, a resource for those facing poor prenatal diagnoses. She also created a ministry to support a school in a small village near Kampala, Uganda.
Suzanne and Rachel Guy are available to share together or separately, as called upon.
"At a time when the prolife movement needs hope, Rachel Guy provides a joyful testimony of parents who loved her enough to fight for her life over the objections of the medical establishment. Rachel's heartfelt story reminds us of how big our God is and the paramount importance of cherishing every life, even when all seems hopeless. Moreover, Rachel has taken the words of abortion-minded doctors and used them as fuel for a life of ministry and impact. She is a great speaker who will inspire any audience to action!"
"I highly recommend having Suzanne Guy and Rachel Guy as speakers for your next PRC event. As a mother-daughter duo, they offer a unique pro-life perspective about a mother's love for her unborn daughter and the daughter who was born perfect in spite of doctors pushing for an abortion based upon a pre-natal diagnosis. Besides having a compelling story, when they spoke at Whispering Hope's Gala a couple of years ago, their passion and love for life was simply engaging. Our supporters loved them!"
“Suzanne and Rachel Guy are two of the best pro-life advocates! They are very convicted and passionate about standing up for mothers and babies. Their speaking is very inspirational and compassionate when it comes to caring for others with a Christ-like attitude. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to have them come and speak!”
"Suzanne and Rachel are captivating speakers, who deliver with passion, conviction and zeal! As our featured speakers for our southern region partnership celebration, they spoke with grit and immense detail, which made us feel as though we were living this experience with them. This mother and daughter pair truly brought an invaluable testimony before our ministry partners and those of us serving, that deeply impacted all who were fortunate enough to hear it. Suzanne and Rachel exceeded our expectations and connected with people in a special way. Rachel and Suzanne were quite literally "born for such a time as this" and we are blessed that they accepted our invitation to speak."
