Most of the clients we see at Mid Cities Pregnancy Center are single. Not often do we see married clients in crisis, but when we do, we admire their courage. That is the case with this client. She already had two children and she and her husband felt like they couldn’t afford another baby. They felt like abortion was their only choice, so she scheduled an appointment. We did a sonogram for her and after seeing her baby, she cancelled her abortion appointment. She and her husband decided to choose life and place the baby for adoption. To say it was a difficult decision would hardly touch the meaning of the words. She recently delivered and placed her baby with a lovely Christian couple. Please pray for her as she continues to heal from this decision.
The Texas Department of Health Services reports that 79,041 women obtained abortions in Texas in 2006. Of those abortions, 11,479 were performed in Dallas County, of which Irving is a major city. Statistics indicate that having a life affirming Christ-centered ministry outreach to Irving could help to significantly reduce those numbers. We are excited that we are getting closer and closer!
Please pray for the family of Steven Curtis Chapman and the loss of their adopted daughter, Maria. Maria was one of Steven and Mary Beth’s six children, and the youngest of the three that were adopted from China. They are strong advocates for adoption and established a ministry called Shaohannah’s Hope that provides information and financial grants to families who adopt. Steven Curtis Chapman is scheduled to come to First Euless on July 18th for a benefit concert for the pregnancy center.
