No Cost Just Sacrifice




“No Cost
Just Sacrifice”
That was the title for this past weekend.

I was extremely honored to attend The Call Detroit 11-11-11 where
thousands came together in Ford Field to fast and pray for the city of Detroit and for our nation.

“It's a fast, not a festival” describes TheCall which has been gathering for over 10 years in stadiums across our country for Joel 2 solemn assemblies. I describe it as an honor because the very least I can do to petition for the lives of the unborn is to give up sleep and food for 36 hours. Being of one purpose with thousands of brothers and sisters is Christ who have the same passion is an amazing experience and one that touches the heart of God as we worshipped and cried out to Him in prayer.

11 of us from my church, Cornerstone Community in Seymour, drove up Friday, arriving for the beginning session at 6pm. The worship, the prayer, the praise, the breaking of barriers and restoration between ethnic groups, the repentance of the shedding of innocent blood in our land, are just a few of the things that took place during the 24 hour call which continued non-stop until 6pm Saturday.

I was touched as the truth about abortion was proclaimed through several personal testimonies from representatives of Carenet. The reality of the black genocide through aborting Africian American babies was startling to hear as the National Pro Life Black Community leaders shared of their movement to put an end to this unjust bloodshed.

I am more grateful than ever to be a part of putting an end to this ugly thing called abortion.
One day at a time, we each are making a difference in saving the life of a child.
I am honored to be involved in the work of the Pregnancy Care Center.

Serving with you,
Marge Miller

The Blessing of the Pregnancy Care Center


Today is my first day back in the office after being out 12 weeks on maternity leave. (See “The Miracle of Embryo Adoption”). Having served at the Pregnancy Care Center the last 10 years it’s been strange, to say the least, to be away from my PCC family and this ministry I love for so long.


It has been an indescribable blessing to spend the past three months at home enjoying motherhood and getting to know my beautiful baby girl.


But I must confess—there were days I didn’t think I was cut out to be a mom. There was a period of about two to three weeks where we had a baby who was feed, clean and loved to pieces, yet wouldn’t stop crying. It was overwhelming. I cried with her!


During those long days and sleepless nights, I constantly thought of our clients. I can’t imagine how those who are caring for a newborn without a support system and oftentimes with other children running around must feel. I prayed for those precious girls and asked God to give them the strength to make it through the day.


And I thanked Him that the Pregnancy Care Center is here in our communities, ministering to them with His unending love. What a blessing it is to be a part of a ministry that provides a refuge for the weak and weary; a place of encouragement, support and hope. And we’re only able to do this with the support of partners like you! Thank you!
