The Pregnancy Care Centers of South Central Indiana is really quite a large work encompassing many areas of ministry. Have you ever found yourself struggling to give someone a brief overview of what the PCC is all about or summarize what it is the PCC does? Below is a great tool you can use when talking to others about the work of Pregnancy Care Centers. Often referred to as an elevator speech, it is short and easy to communicate as if you were stuck in an elevator with someone with only that awkward silence. Feel free to use this overview when talking to your friends, family or those you might share an elevator ride about the amazing work of the PCC.
Overview
We do this through Education, Intervention, and Healing programs.
• The school based Choose to Wait EDUCATION program helps students explore the consequences of sexual decision making and empowers them to choose the best, healthiest life-style of abstinence until marriage.
IMPORTANCE? Seventy-nine percent of participants indicate their intentions to remain or become sexually abstinent until marriage.
The faith-based My Best for You and Transformed programs are presented in area churches to students and their parents, opening the lines of communication and equipping them to live out God’s best as it relates to our sexuality and relationships.
IMPORTANCE? Eighty percent of teens say it would be much easier to delay sexual activity and avoid teen pregnancy if they were able to have more open, honest conversations about these topics with their parents.
• Our in-center INTERVENTION services offer pregnancy tests, first trimester ultrasounds, peer counseling for women and men on all pregnancy options, spiritual counseling, and material assistance with baby items.
IMPORTANCE? Those facing crisis/unplanned pregnancies need a place where they can receive factual information about fetal development and the risks of abortion. By revealing life within the womb via ultrasound, many abortion minded clients choose life for their unborn child.
• Our HEALING programs provide support groups, one-on-one peer counseling and Bible Studies to help women and men who have been wounded by abortion to find healing.
IMPORTANCE? About 1/3 of American women will have an abortion by age 45. Sixty-five percent identify themselves as Christian. As a result, there are many women and men in our churches who need to hear the truth that their sin of abortion is not too big for God to forgive.
