On July 18th , First Euless hosted our MCPC benefit concert “An Evening with Steven Curtis Chapman”. Steven and his family are strong advocates for women in unplanned pregnancy, adoption, and the unborn. He presented an inspiring evening of worship and we all enjoyed the outstanding talent God gave Steven to write and perform his music. We were able to highlight the pregnancy center ministry as we shared about our client Meagan, who came to the center as a frightened, confused 17 year old girl. She was facing a dilemma-- to have an abortion or give birth to her child. She met with our volunteer counselor, Linda Bussey. She talked with Meagan about her options and about how God had a special plan for her child. Meagan chose to sacrificially place her little boy, Tyler, into the loving care of Melissa and Jeff, now Tyler’s parents. She went on to graduate high school, and recently college. Jeff and Melissa have a great relationship with Meagan, and she visits with Tyler often. We were so happy that Meagan, Tyler, Jeff, and Melissa were willing to share their story-- a story of how God took a difficult situation and made something beautiful.
It was such a wonderful evening. When we received the news about our ministry offering, we were amazed that God had blessed us with almost EXACTLY what we had budgeted for the start-up costs for the new Irving office! We hope to finalize soon a contract for an office location that is strategically located where we should see many women who desperately need options other than abortion. We are so grateful for God’s provision through "The Miracle” and for the generous caring people who gave so that we can begin to reach the city of Irving. Please continue to pray for us as we move forward, and that many lives will be saved for now, and forever, through this ministry.
