We Have This Hope

Can you believe it’s already October!?  

We are taking a moment to highlight the beautiful things that happened last month! The above picture is a sweet moment at a private worship night for our embrace grace bible study girls. This brave momma is getting prayed over. What a beautiful night! You can learn how to help with some needs this month below. 

This is what your prayers, your gifts, and your service help us do each and every day! Celebrate with us!  

PRC is where difficult conversations happen. Men and women are at a critical crossroads when they enter our Center doors. They are choosing life or death. We are thankful for this HOPE we have in Jesus and His truth we can share with those we see. 

PRC is where amazing relationships are built. This ministry would not be what it is without YOU! Thank you for sowing into what God is doing.

This is where choices are made and we pray that families make a life-affirming choice. We even see those that have made a decision and had no idea we even existed. Our hearts hurt for those that can’t take back an abortion decision, but again we have this HOPE! We get to extend His grace and forgiveness that He offers all
of us! 

This is where hope is given and love flows abundantly!

This is PRC!

Last month, 145 brave families received free life - affirming medical services and many will continue to receive holistic faith-based support through our caring mentors. Faith-based support that truly digs deep at the root to find the true cause of what led them to be in the situation they are in. This is where true change is made. Not only a physical change, but many times a spiritual transformation!

We are rejoicing over FOUR new believers this past month and one that rededicated their life to Christ!

We are moving into October with great expectation and rejoicing at the great things HE has done! PRC is HIS ministry and what a blessing it is to follow His leading.

Thank you making a life-saving difference with us by either serving and/or giving so families can continue to get real hope and real help!

Maybe one day...

Have you ever made that statement?

Maybe one day.

Someday I will sit down and do this.

My story has so many moving parts it is always a blessing when I have the opportunity to share about the work of the Pregnancy Resource Center ministry. God always provides a window for me to share the struggles of my past and what He has brought me through and how it relates to the work we do day in and day out at the Center.

It takes all of us working together to make a huge impact on the lives that are touched and saved here. Every person plays such an important part. From the donor who gives monthly or periodically, the volunteers who give of their time, the staff that has been called for a higher purpose to serve, the board that is very engaged at making our vision and mission come to life, and the moms and dads we have the opportunity to serve through all the moving parts. The ministry is 35 years old and that in itself is such a huge testament of grit and perseverance to meet the needs of our community over the years.

Without a doubt, God had a hand in placing me here to serve along with so many amazing people.

I always said to myself that one day I would write a book to share the deep pain points in my life and point it back to the only person that matters and that is the Lord. Without him, I would not be here at this moment today. Last week, I celebrated my seven-year anniversary serving as the Director here at the Center and it has been such a growth journey in my faith.

My eyes have been opened to the reality of the need for the work we do and how so many of our fellow neighbors need the voice of truth. We are bombarded with the voice that wants to kill, steal and destroy our lives. I know for me the voice that kills tried to take my life until the Lord stepped in.

The draft of my testimony sat on my computer for over two years. Self-doubt always held me back from doing anything with it until last year during the throws of covid I knew it was time. I prayed and told the Lord that if he really wanted to see this to fruition then he would need to give me the words and the drive to complete what he started. He is always so faithful!

I am so happy to share with you that, A Voice that Kills, was published at the end of December and is now available at our local favorite store, The Village Tinker, and available online on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578827468/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_gd45FbRT7A30D

I have said if my story helps one person through this process then it is worth it. From one negative voice after the other, I share how we can overcome the voices that want to kill, steal, and destroy our lives by pointing it back to the Voice of Truth, the Holy Spirit, our helper.

The devil calls us by our sin, shame, and guilt, but Jesus Christ calls us by our name: His beloved daughter or son. Overflowing with the hope we can all have in Jesus, A Voice that Kills will help anyone going through past or present hurts to walk in the redemptive story that is waiting on them.

• Can God use your story for His glory? 

• Can I overcome these feelings of being all alone and rise up as His beloved? 

• Does Jesus really want to pursue me? Did you know that the same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in us?

We need to use our voice of compassion and truth to save lives. It is needed more than ever! We have been silent for far too long. Your voice is needed and could be the very one that leads others to know about our Heavenly Father. We can be a part of many great missions, but it is great to be a part of something so much bigger and that is the Great Commission. God has a story within you. Maybe it isn’t with the pregnancy help community. Regardless, your voice is needed. 

I am excited to take this journey with you and pray more people will be set free by listening to the right voice and that is the Voice of Truth!
