The Heart of a Child

As the Walk for Life draws near, many have begun to raise funds including a young girl who loves the Pregnancy Care Center.

"My 10 year old daughter asked me months ago if she could be the one from our family to raise money and walk in this year’s walk-a-thon. Of course I said yes – and she’s been asking regularly if it is time yet. When (we got a call from the PCC that) it was indeed time, Rachael got right to work. She set a goal of raising $200. After the first day it became apparent that she’d meet that goal very soon, so she decided to move her goal to $300. I told her that was a lot of money, but she was just sure that God would provide. What a step of faith for a child! After 2 days of fundraising, she met that goal too!!! How beautiful that God is showing her his provision when she does take that step of faith. Just had to share how God is at work even in these early days of fundraising...and in the heart of a child who desires to support the PCC."


Praise God for Rachel's heart for God and for the ministry of the Pregnancy Care Center. If you would like to also begin raising funds for the October 15th Walk for Life, visit our web site at www.affirminglifeonline.com for more information or to print off a pledge sheet.

Thank You!

Our Choose to Wait presenters were recently back in the classroom for summer school, thanks to the continued support of those who sustain the work of our ministry. One of the students slipped a note to the presenter concerning the impact the program had on her life. We’d like to pass her words on to you, as they are a credit to the work we have accomplished together:



“I’m a junior now, but my freshman year I was going to lose my [virginity] to ‘the most amazing boy ever’ (I found out he really wasn’t) and then you came in four days before it was gunna happen and changed my mind. I’m still a virgin. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be, so thank you.”



In case you ever doubt that your support and contribution is really saving and changing lives please accept this thank you note from a student as assurance that it is. Thank you for believing in and investing in the lives of young people. Your support is truly changing lives!
