MAKING AN IMPACT

Tawanna came to us as a single pregnant

teenager. She came from an out-of-state foster care system without ID, social security card, or birth certificate.

The Pregnancy Center was able to help her by giving her the knowledge she needed to obtain an ID and other documents so she could apply for Pregnancy WIC.

At first, she was taking classes alone at The Pregnancy Center, but soon afterward her boyfriend (and baby’s father) would accompany her from time to time.

At our initial meeting, when asked who Jesus was to her, she answered “my best friend, my guide, and protector.” She was referred to a local church where she could grow in the Lord.

Elaine came to The Pregnancy Center

needing someone she could lean on during a horrific time dealing with the death of a child. Both The Pregnancy Center staff and Angel Babies Boutique staff stayed after hours as needed to pray and talk with this distraught mom.

The Pregnancy Center staff was able to offer lessons that she could work through to help with grief. She is also working through the Bible study pack to reinforce God’s truths in her situation.

Words from Pope John Paul II: “Human life is sacred and inviolable at every moment of existence, including the initial phase which precedes birth. All human beings, from their mother’s womb, belong to God who searches them and knows them, who forms them and knits them together with his own hands, who gazes on them when they are tiny shapeless embryos and already sees in them the adults of tomorrow whose days are numbered and whose vocation is even now written in the ‘book of life.’ There too, when they are still in their mothers’ womb—as many passages of the Bible bear witness— they are the personal objects of God’s loving and fatherly providence.” (Papal Encyclical: Evangelium Vitae, 61).
