Walk for Life 2011

What a wonderful day God provided for the Pregnancy Care Center's 17th annual Walk for Life. With over 175 participants and $32,000 raised we are so thankful for the lives that will be changed throughout the PCC ministry. Thank you to those who volunteered and participated to make a difference in our communities.

A Better Way

When talking with students, parents and clients our message is clear; there is a better way, God’s way. Recently one client summarized the ministry while giving us feedback. “(My counselor) was very kind and respectful. No one judged me in a negative way. Thank you all for helping me and showing me there was a better way.” What a privilege we have in the Pregnancy Care Center ministry to share with our community that God’s way is a better way!

True Love...Patience, Kindness, Truth and Hope

When clients come through the doors at the Pregnancy Care Center, we want them to sense what true love is while they are with us. We want them to see patience, kindness, truth and hope. And in the end we want them to see Jesus Christ and His love for them. As one client recently wrote on her feedback form, "No one has ever made me feel more cared about than the people working here. You guys are life savers. The help I received today meant the world to me, thank you." What a blessing to love others as Jesus Christ has loved us and called us to love.

Lives Are Truly Changed!

It is an amazing gift from God to get a note like I did from a student at Columbus Behavioral Health facility a few days ago. I had a young woman walk up to me on the second day after class and tell me, “I am a virgin because of you!” I thanked her and wondered how that could be true since I’d only been with her for 2 days, but she went on to explain, and later wrote me a note on a card that was given to the students to ask questions that explains what she told me. Her card read:

“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 4 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.”

WOW!!! Rarely do we get that kind of peek into the impact we, as a ministry, are really making by way of preventative measures! This note is a precious, tangible tool we can use to make sure all who support our ministry realize the value and affect of our mission; Lives are truly changed!
