reason I share it now in writing is so that the Lord might be able to encourage a woman out there who may have suffered with an abortion, just like me. I know that the Lord has forgiven me. I still often struggle with that decision that was made a long time ago. But the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family and I trust that He can use me to make a difference in the lives of women who have never been able to confess and receive the forgiveness of Jesus. Since then, the Lord has given me many opportunities to speak to other women regarding post abortion healing. I’m currently serving women in North Georgia and ministering hope and healing that only Christ can give. If you or anyone you know, would like to talk with someone about post abortion healing, please email or contact the North Georgia Pregnancy Center. All calls and visits are always confidential.
MAKING AN IMPACT
CAPH’N Carnival Brings More Families Into the Angel Baby Boutique The NGPC had the pleasure of hosting the CAPH’N Carnival this June. In partnership with Good Samaritan Health & Wellness Center and CARES, the carnival kicked off a two-month pilot program to provide free nutritious food to women and children in our community. The carnival included games and activities for children, snacks, cooking demonstrations and the opportunity to talk with local physicians about health and dental needs. Held on the same day as our Angel Babies Boutique Fill-A-Bag sale, we had families waiting at the door to get in and shop! The carnival brought awareness to our location and to the programs we offer at the center. We were blessed to watch families enjoy some free, healthy fun.

As part of the CAPH’N program, parents who came into the center and took one of our eight classes on nutrition earned a voucher for a free box of healthy food from CARES. Local farms and grocery stores donated fresh produce to be included in the large boxes given to the families. Many thanks to the Big Canoe Women’s Guild for providing the grant for the program, and for the opportunity to collaborate with other local non-profits.
