UPDATE/PRAISE REPORT: "Jessica" came to CompassCare early in September, having been advised by a her doctor to have an abortion. She and her husband were both in shock and unsure of what to do. They worried about providing a good life for their other child if they welcomed this new baby into their lives. Nearly two months after her initial appointment, Jessica responded to her nurse reaching out to follow-up. She reported that she and her husband had decided to continue the pregnancy instead of getting an abortion. Praise God for His heart-changing intervention. He truly transformed fear into confidence. Please continue to pray for Jessica and her baby to remain strong and healthy through her pregnancy and delivery.

"Lissy" is raising two small children and her living situation is unstable. The thought of having another baby is overwhelming to her. Although she currently plans to get an abortion, she's worried doing so would make her a "bad person." When Lissy saw her 8-week-old baby during the ultrasound, she said, "I don't feel the way I did with my other kids." She and her nurse worked together to create a list of resources which could be helpful to her. She listened to the gospel but did not feel ready to give her life to Christ. Please pray for Lissy's strength to be multiplied as she raises her children and considers how to move forward. Pray she has confidence in God's purposes for her and the baby growing inside of her. ------- "Moriah" suspected she was pregnant and came to CompassCare to confirm. When her nurse did that, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "I don't want a baby. I have too much going on." She's raising a teenager, working full time, putting herself through school and buying a house. When discussing her pregnancy history, she mentioned losing a baby at 39 weeks. She told her nurse she didn't want to talk about it. Her ultrasound showed her pregnancy was too early to confirm. Her nurse suggested she come in for a repeat ultrasound next week. When Moriah said she just wanted to get an abortion now, her nurse reminded her that CompassCare doesn't provide or refer for abortion. She walked out without concluding the appointment. Please pray for Moriah's heart and mind as she processes the news of her pregnancy and considers her next steps. Pray she perceives the unique value of this child and chooses to continue her pregnancy. ------- When "Miah" learned she was pregnant, she called her doctor who told her to call a local abortionist. That abortionist told her to go to Planned Parenthood. Miah got in her car determined to get an abortion. She did a hasty Google search and followed directions on her phone, arriving at CompassCare. Realizing her error, she decided to go inside anyway. In the exam room, she told her nurse she feels she's too old to have a baby. She's raising a 13-year-old. The father of the baby is pressuring her to keep the baby, but she said childcare is too expensive and they have other financial strains right now. She was shocked to hear her baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound. When her nurse talked with her about God bringing her to CompassCare for a reason, Miah said, "I do have a relationship with God, which makes this a hard decision." She plans to return in one week. Please pray for Miah to have confidence that the Lord will provide all she needs to carry this pregnancy to term. ------ UPDATE/Praise: "Jasmine" (raising 2 children, baby's father has 2 other children, new to area) returned for a follow-up appointment saying she decided to continue her pregnancy. "God had another plan," Jasmine said, referring to the day she went to the abortionist and was referred to CompassCare instead. The father of the baby was with her and was fascinated viewing his baby on the ultrasound. "We're still hoping for a boy, but we'll be happy either way," Jasmine said. Praise God for His miraculous intervention, sparing the life of this child and changing the hearts of these parents. Please continue to pray for Jasmine and the father of the baby, that they would build their lives on Christ the solid rock.

UPDATE: Thank you to all who pray for my son Kevin. The doctor is very concerned about his current condition and failure to improve, and plans to see him this Thursday and, most likely, admit him to the hospital for tests and treatment. Please pray for God's healing touch, peace, and protection for Kevin, and wisdom for his doctors. We are very grateful for your prayer support, and know God is in control!!

UPDATE/Praise Report: You have been praying for Allie since September 3. She came to CompassCare for three appointments, never expressing a commitment to carry her twins to term and in fact scheduled an abortion for September 23. In an answer to prayer, Allie cancelled that abortion appointment. However, she continued to vacillate about choosing life or death for her two growing children. After having mixed success keeping in touch with Allie by phone for several weeks, Allie's nurse prayed she'd get an opportunity to talk with her again. The phone rang in the nurse's office soon after: it was Allie. When asked how she was doing, she explained she is still in relationship with the father of the twins, has told her mother about the pregnancy, and is searching for an OB/GYN who will deliver at Strong Hospital. "The twins might come early, so I need a doctor who will deliver there," Allie said, clearly expressing her intention to raise her twins. She plans to come in to CompassCare for continued support. Allie's nurse writes, "We praise God for this, and for His gracious love that allowed us to know!" Thank you for praying and continue to pray Allie's life comes into alignment with God's purposes more and more.
