CompassCare
36 women are presently being served in the three CompassCare locations. Pray for them to safely have their babies and submit to Christ, and for God's blessings and protection for the nurses sharing the Gospel with them. -------- "Abby" thought she was done raising children. Then she found out she is pregnant again. With her youngest about to leave home, she feels unprepared and resistant to the idea of having another baby. Desiring to pursue additional education unhindered, she was considering getting an abortion. At her second appointment, Abby expressed a desire to carry to term and said she knows firsthand how difficult abortions are. When Abby returned for her third appointment, she said she needs to get an abortion because she decided she does not want to remain connected to the father of the baby. She wants to wait for her STI test results before moving forward with the abortion and scheduled a return appointment for next week. Pray God gives Abby the strength to carry her pregnancy to term no matter what. Pray for hope and peace in spite of the challenges she is facing. -------- "Allison" came to CompassCare last month to learn how far along she was in her pregnancy. Although she and her boyfriend weren’t averse to the idea of parenting a child together, they both agreed the timing was wrong and decided to pursue an abortion. Allison was interviewing for a job she hoped would launch her career and worried a baby would get in the way. Her boyfriend joined her for the next appointment and Allison shared the news that she’d landed the job. When they saw their baby on the ultrasound screen, they both expressed excitement, but Allison’s was measured. Not yet convinced that she could give up her initial plans, Allison said, “I’m just not sure this is the best move.” Allison mentioned her Catholic faith was a source of hope in her life, but she seemed to be struggling to prioritize her beliefs over her career goals. Weeks passed before Allison returned for another appointment. Her boyfriend had joined her again and Allison happily announced, “We’re going for it! We’re keeping the baby and getting married!” The two gleefully took in the sight of their developing baby on the ultrasound screen, marveling at his movements. Allison plans to begin prenatal care immediately. Praise God for his mercy towards Allison and her baby. Pray he works mightily to establish this child and his parents in the love and grace of Christ.

CompassCare
"Carmella" came to CompassCare seeking to confirm her pregnancy. "I have been blocking this out because I have too many other things going on," she said. Carmella's homelife is in turmoil and she is already raising three young children. She told her nurse, "I don't believe in abortion," sharing that her mother had a bad experience with a past abortion and suffers from regret. Carmella's mother is her primary support in raising her children and would likely welcome another child in the family. However, Carmella worries she is becoming burdensome to her mother and wonders if abortion is the best choice. When her nurse shared the hope of Christ in the gospel, Carmella prayed to receive the gift of salvation. "I want a relationship with Jesus and hope!" she said. Pray Carmella is strengthened by her new relationship with Christ and chooses to carry her pregnancy to term. Pray she is empowered to parent her children with the support of her family and community. ------- "Serena" is new to the United States. She hopes to make a new life for herself and her toddler here by pursuing an education and career. When she found out she is pregnant, she immediately scheduled an abortion. Supporting two children seemed impossible. Her abortion appointment was over a week away when Serena decided to reach out to CompassCare for some pregnancy health screenings. She discussed her Christian faith with her nurse and was encouraged to find out that mature Christian women at local churches were standing at the ready to support her and her family. She made an appointment for the following week just before her abortion appointment to talk with a MotherCare mentor at one of these local churches. Praise God, Serena canceled her abortion after her follow-up appointment! "I want to be a good mom and take care of my baby," she said. "I would feel terrible if I had an abortion. I'll figure this out." Her family has pledged their support and Serena looks forward to continued connection with her MotherCare mentor and a local church. Thank God for His merciful intervention in Serena's life, preserving the life of her baby! Pray Serena and her family grow in grace as they welcome this new baby.

Please pray for Jan, as her damaged front teeth will be extracted on Friday morning at 9 AM in preparation for implants. Pray for her to adjust to the "flipper", a little plastic piece with 2 teeth on it, for temporary use. She can't eat with it in, so a lot of challenges are coming. Also, please pray for me, as I had a minor Afib attack this morning.
