Paula Odom, Director of the MidCities Pregnancy Center, sent us this update:
A young woman recently came to the Center with her two-year old. She received a positive pregnancy test result and told us that she planned to get an abortion. When asked why she would consider abortion, she said, “It’s not a good time.” However, she did consent to having a sonogram. She saw her baby, but she still left the center without changing her mind. In the days that followed we prayed for her and phoned, but there was no reply. A couple of weeks later she reappeared at the center asking for financial help. We referred her to agencies that could help her with medical care. We also told her about our Hope program (coupons used to buy baby/maternity items). Her eyes lit up when she saw the clothing/supply room that held all the items available to her. This time she left the center saying, “I’m going to have a baby in May.”
A life was saved.
We know that this was the power of God working through the prayers of His people. He is the One who changed her heart. This is just one of over 37,000 women who have come through the Mid Cities Pregnancy Center. We continue to pray that God will prepare the way to Irving. We are praying for His choice for the office location, that He will bring the needed resources, and for volunteers (especially bilingual) to begin training for the Irving opening.
“With God all things are possible.” Mark 9:23.
We feel stronger than ever that the Lord is leading us into Irving, where hopefully, we will see twice as many women touched by the love of God!
