Movers are a Blessing!

We were blessed by a great crew that moved our Jackson County Center to its new location a few weeks ago. What would we do without our WONDERFUL volunteers?!

Choosing Adoption

When clients come to the Pregnancy Care Center and have a positive pregnancy test, we make follow-up calls and sent notes of encouragement to them throughout their pregnancy to check in and let them know we’re here and we care about them.

Oftentimes due to the transient nature of our client’s lives we lose touch with them. However recently, a volunteer made a follow-up call to a clients she had seen several months earlier and was able to reach her. Julia*, a high school student, had come for a pregnancy test in the fall. When the test was positive, Julia stated she did not want an abortion, but that the father of the baby was pressuring her. Her peer counselors shared the truth of Jeremiah 29:11 and assured her that God was with her and had great plans for her.

Julia scheduled an ultrasound and brought her mom with her. During this visit, we learned that both of her parents were supportive of her and against abortion. After the ultrasound Julia stated she was still undecided about what she would do about the pregnancy as far as carrying or adoption, but that she was considering adoption.

During the recent follow-up call, Julia shared that she will be due soon and has made an adoption plan. She sounded completely at peace and shared the blessed the Jeremiah scripture had been to her as she walked through the pregnancy.

Please join us in praying God’s continual peace upon Julia as she completes the adoption process.

Teaching Your Kids to be Generous

I came across this blog today entitled "How Parents Can Pass on a Legacy of Generosity to their Children" on the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability today. I think it will be a blessing to all you parents out there who are looking for ways to teach your kids the importance of stewardship.

Happy reading!
