MidCities Pregnancy Center

Paula Odom, Director of the MidCities Pregnancy Center, sent us this update:

The Mid Cities Pregnancy Center has seen a steady increase in numbers of clients over the last six months. Many agencies, schools, and past clients are now referring women to the center. While we see God doing exciting things at MCPC, we are concerned about the women in Irving. Irving is a city where the housing statistics indicate that 44% of the residents are single. It has a population of over 193,000 people, with 7 middle schools, 4 high schools, 4 colleges. They also have an abortion providing organization in close and convenient proximity. What they don’t have is a life affirming, Christ centered pregnancy center!

With the help of the Miracle, we will soon be helping women like Jennifer (name changed for confidentiality), who came to the center wanting abortion information, pressured by family members who wanted her to abort. She decided to carry her child, at the cost of having to leave her family’s home. We ministered to her and referred her to a local adoption agency where she placed her child in a loving, Christian home. She gave her beautiful little girl the gift of life, and a family a child to love. We ask that you join with us in prayer that the Irving Center will soon be opened to help girls like Jennifer.
