This year we had the opportunity to defend the lives of 15 babies who were at risk 4 of abortion; 5 however, 6 we know of 7 many others 8 whose lives were lost. This is where the tears come in. Restoring hearts depends first on God. However, it also requires us to step out of our comfort zones and put ourselves in front of people who need the Lord. By Gods grace, seven women put their trust in Jesus and sixty-three Bibles were distributed. This is where 11 joy happens. 12 13 14 15 Sheltering pregnant women occurred at the Amazing Grace Home (AGH) this year where volunteers and staff rose to the challenge of encouraging, praying Veterans Day for, and loving our six residents.
