Building a community



The Brooklyn office was full of joy and excitement as 17 girls came in for their prenatal care. It was my first time experiencing a prenatal day, and I absolutely loved it. It was so uplifting to see the happiness on the girl’s faces. You could not help but partake in delight with them.    

Today I experienced the other side of the work that we do in the centers. Many of these women are experiencing their joy and happiness because of the love and care they are given in the centers. They receive hope and confidence that they can go through with their pregnancies, and be wonderful mothers!

While these women wait to be seen by the doctor, they all sit in a circle in the waiting room and many of them chat and get to know each other. I sensed a community being formed between these women and couldn’t help thinking how wonderful it was for these girls to be forming a support system with each other. God is good.
