Saving lives, and so much more

The EMC Frontline Pregnancy Centers have proved to be such a valuable resource for women in crisis pregnancies who are in such despair that they feel thy need to abort. One of the most beautiful things about the centers is its untiring care for all women- including those who want to keep their babies but don't know where to go!

This week, a woman named Diana from Harlem came in and wanted to keep her baby, but already had a big family and had no way to get prenatal care. We called up the sonogram technician ASAP and got her an appointment the same day. Baby's health matters-- and so does mom's! I watched a girl take a pregnant woman to the drugstore and buy her prenatal vitamins with her own lunch money. One of our counselors spent all day looking for job fairs to offer soon-to-be fathers.

These things happen everyday, with the workers not giving a second thought to spending their time, efforts, or even money to assist someone in need. When a woman walks through the doors of EMC centers, she is loved with all of our hearts, minds, souls, and spirits. Please continue to pray for the women and for the team, as we recognize that our energy comes from He who is love itself.
