CompassCare

From CompassCare: 32 women and their babies were served at the 3 CompassCare locations last week!----------Prayer: "Nancy" called CompassCare for abortion information. When she spoke to a compassionate member of the scheduling team, she learned CompassCare does not provide or refer for abortion but offers diagnostic services which can help her make an informed decision regarding her pregnancy. She decided to make an appointment and receive these services at no cost to her. Nancy was a bit further along in her pregnancy than she originally thought. She smiled and laughed when she saw her active baby on the ultrasound screen. She opened up to her nurse, sharing she's been experiencing intense anxiety at the thought of adding a fifth child to her family. She is a single mom without family in the U.S. Although she was considering terminating the pregnancy, she could not bring herself to talk about it. Nancy's nurse discussed the services and support available to her and shared about the love of Christ through the gospel message. Nancy said she is a Christian and has attended church regularly in the past. Pray Nancy has the courage to continue her pregnancy and leverages the support available to her. Pray her faith is deepened during this critical juncture in her life.----------Praise: Here is a special video from Zhanna sharing her story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T3aNKW0Ac4

Please keep Don in prayer. His sister, Dianne, passed away early Sunday night. She had a long battle with multiple cancers, heart disease, diabetes & obesity. Many surgeries, treatments & medical attempts to help her for many years. She’s heard the truth of the gospel of Jesus, yet salvation unknown.

Please pray for Jan. She had a biopsy on her face today, and the doctor thinks it is skin cancer. She will have results back in about 2 weeks. If it is cancer, she'll have to see a plastic surgeon.

CompassCare

38 women and their babies were served at CompassCare last week!----------Prayer: "Veronica" serves in the armed forces. A pregnancy is unwelcome news, especially this year when she expects to be deployed. She and the father of the baby, who is currently deployed, agreed abortion is the right decision. Her family also strongly suggests she terminate her pregnancy. "I want to have kids someday. Just not now," Veronica explained to her CompassCare nurse. She consented to an ultrasound exam which revealed an early pregnancy. Viability could not be confirmed yet and Veronica decided to delay making an abortion appointment until another ultrasound could be performed next week to determine viability. Her future reproductive health is important to her and she does not want to undergo an abortion "unnecessarily." Pray Veronica's heart is softened towards her preborn child and she accepts the timing of his or her conception as part of God's sovereign plan for her life.----------Praise: "Brandi" was shocked to see a positive result on her home pregnancy test. Her first instinct was to look for abortion information online. That’s when she found CompassCare’s telehealth platform. While on the site, Brandi clicked the button that connected her with a pro-life nurse via an online chat. The nurse was able to greet Brandi and offer her a telehealth appointment.

Brandi said she didn’t want a full appointment but did have just a few questions about how far along she is and if she can still get an abortion. After chatting directly with an R.N., Brandi realized it was in her best interest to come to a pregnancy center for an ultrasound and STI testing.Brandi and the father of the baby came to the appointment together. It was possible she was in her second trimester but she hadn’t noticed any pregnancy symptoms beyond some weight gain. When the nurse placed the ultrasound probe on her abdomen, an image of the baby’s face immediately illuminated the screen. The baby’s strong heartbeat was heard clearly. Brandi and the father of the baby watched their child with amazement. “I had no idea the baby was that big! I want this baby!” she exclaimed. Brandi felt her parents would support her carrying to term and raising the baby. She gratefully took a referral for prenatal care with an OB. Although she comes from a different faith background, she listened intently to the gospel message. “I’ve never heard that before,” she said. She expressed interest in working with a MotherCare mentor from a local church. Praise God for using CompassCare’s telehealth platform to disrupt Brandi’s abortion plans and spare the life of this unique bearer of God's Image—Brandi's baby. Pray Brandi is made strong for her parenting journey and the seeds of the gospel take root in her heart and grow into soul-saving faith.
