Offering life-saving options

In desperation, *Lucia* called the Pregnancy Resource Center for help. She had received a positive pregnancy test at Planned Parenthood and had asked about her options. However, nothing but abortion was presented to her. Looking for support and information to guide her next steps, she made an appointment at the PRC. 

Reserved and standoffish, Lucia came in for her appointment. Uncertain who the potential father of the baby was, she was considering an abortion but wanted to get an ultrasound before she made her decision. She was already treading water financially, and a positive pregnancy test added to her concerns. Moreover, she didn’t see a viable future with her boyfriend, *Luke. 

As the Client Advocate listened to Lucia’s story, she encouraged her to take time to process all that was happening before rushing into a pregnancy decision. As the Client Advocate began to inform Lucia of her options, she began to express her true feelings. In tears, Lucia shared that abortion was not what she wanted, but she also wanted better life circumstances for this child.

The Client Advocate lovingly shared with her that we all go through difficulties in life, no matter the family or circumstances we are born into, but each person must decide for themselves how they will overcome and grow from adversity.

Learning that there was evident hurt in Lucia’s life from her childhood religion, the Client Advocate shared the gospel with Lucia’s permission. Reading Ephesians 2:8-9, she discussed how humans could never earn God’s favor, but how He freely gives grace and forgiveness through the death and resurrection of His Son. The Client Advocate also talked with Lucia about the importance of support from a local church community. Intrigued, Lucia accepted a Bible, a Church Referral List, and prayer. 

“I am so glad I came here and didn’t go back to Planned Parenthood” Lucia exclaimed.

Lucia was then invited in to meet with one of the PRC Nurse Sonographers. Moments later, Lucia and her boyfriend smiled as they saw their baby on the ultrasound screen. As Lucia was leaving her appointment, she happily showed the Client Advocate the ultrasound pictures and said, "Maybe I'll see you at church!” 

At a follow-up appointment, Lucia shared that she and Luke are no longer together, but they are considering co-parenting. She is eager to start the PRCs Life Steps parenting classes and is excited about Stepping Up fatherhood mentoring for Luke. As seeds of the gospel continue to be planted and cultivated, please pray for the transformational work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. 

Thank you for your faithful support, allowing the PRC to shine truth and light daily. Together, we are cultivating a culture of life in our communities!

March Impact

From the PRC Directors

Spring is upon us! It’s a joyous season when new life begins, where even the most jaded among us appreciate the miracle of life, from seed to tiny sprout to sapling. At the PRC, we also recognize the beauty of life at every stage of development.

Thanks to our state-of-the-art ultrasound machines and skilled medical personnel, mothers and fathers can witness human life at its earliest stages—as early as 5.5 – 6 weeks!

And while flowers are surely beautiful creations, nothing is more wonderous to see than those tiny persons resting safely in the womb, image-bearers of God Himself.

As we gather to celebrate Easter this weekend, let us remember Christ came into the world like all of us, as a baby. His resurrection gives us victory over death and the grave. But while we remain in our earthly tents, the risen Christ gives us the strength to fight the culture of death which surrounds us and provide hope to others.

A woman we call “Emily” became pregnant unexpectedly while still in school and sought help from the PRC. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the Pregnancy Resource Center,” she said. “I’m so thankful for the hope and help they gave me. My son Brandon will always be thankful too.”

This holiday is all about the hope that Christ provides to us through His finished work on the cross. May we use each opportunity to share this hope with the women & families that come to the PRC!
