CompassCare

Prayer-Lisa called Planned Parenthood to schedule an abortion appointment. When she learned they could not fit her in for several weeks, she looked for help elsewhere and found CompassCare. Although she plans to get an abortion, she was grateful to get an ultrasound exam and STD testing at no cost to her.When she saw her child on the ultrasound screen, Lisa commented, "This is a lot to take in." The father of the baby was present for the ultrasound. Later in her appointment when she was alone with her nurse, Lisa opened up about losing her mother unexpectedly while she was still a child. She worries about becoming a mother out of fear that she will also die young and leave a child behind. This and other factors are making Lisa extremely fearful for her future, driving her to get an abortion. When her nurse shared the gospel with her, Lisa surrendered her life to Christ. Please pray she embraces God's sovereignty and chooses to carry her pregnancy to term, come what may. Pray that she will find peace in the face of her fears through the Prince of Peace.

Praise-Noelle came to CompassCare several weeks ago to confirm her pregnancy. Her plan had been to get a chemical abortion if she was not yet past the ten-week gestational limit. Although she and her boyfriend were initially excited to learn she is pregnant, Noelle said she cannot imagine being a teenage mother. She worried her parents would not accept her child or support her in raising him.

Noelle's ultrasound exam revealed a seven week old baby. When she heard the heartbeat she said, "That makes me almost cry." When discussing options, she expressed interest in learning more about adoption. "My boyfriend and I have talked a lot about that actually!" she said.When her nurse asked her about her spiritual life, Noelle said she grew up in church. She listened intently as her nurse shared the gospel with her. Several weeks later, her nurse learned that Noelle has decided to carry her pregnancy to term! Noelle reported that her parents are supportive of her decision and she will be going to an OB/GYN to start prenatal care shortly. Praise God the entire family is excited to meet and care for Noelle's baby!

Update on my mom Josephine: She is still at St Ann's rehab but has not improved much since her hip surgery. Unfortunately insurance only allowed 20 days. We filed an appeal which was denied and I just filed a 2nd appeal. Please pray this appeal is approved for a couple more weeks. Also asking for the Lord's favor regarding the Medicaid process which unfortunately should have been started earlier and for the Lord to heal, and strength her right leg and hip and to give her peace and clarity of mind during this process and of course for her salvation. Finally please pray for my brother and me as Mom can be very difficult at times.

Praise the Lord for His mercy and goodness! She is very grateful for your prayers, but still needs help and encouragement and support as she regains strength and stamina.
