Thank You to Our Volunteers!

We celebrated National Volunteer Week by honoring a few of our volunteers on our social media. We are so grateful for the variety of jobs our volunteers to for the ministry - from working in the centers to stuffing envelopes for mailings! 

Betty Gates (shown above) offers her time and talent in the area of material assistance. By sorting through donations, laundering clothes and stacking diapers, Betty is a great help to our Bartholomew County center! Thank you, Betty!

'The Secret Shame of Abortion in the Church'

Shame has a crippling effect on living an abundant life as God intended. One out of every three women up to age 45 has experienced abortion. Consider the many women and men that suffer silently in our churches! They understand forgiveness and salvation, but healing is necessary to restore their broken hearts. Recovery studies offered by our Hearts Restored: Healing After Abortion program can confidentially help men who regret lost fatherhood and women who still suffer from their "choice".  This is a wonderful article about that devastating shame and the church's challenge to encourage healing: The Secret Shame of Abortion in the Church.
