.. successful??...

"have you had a client yet?" "has someone come?" "nobody came??"

all our very well meaning friends, family and supporters have asked the question... and it is a legitimate question... has anyone come.....

you should have a look into our prayer box: there are all our volunteer's names, Dr. Morgenthaler, and there are our clients...

those are the names of women that have had abortions, both women we already know, and others we  haven't met yet , but friends of people that have come and gotten our brochures to give to them ..girls that are pregnant... that have been given our information, their Youth leaders and teachers trying to convince them to come.....

we are thanking God each day for those clients.. we know that He brought them to our attention and that He has plans.. for them.. for us... the "good works He has planned in advance for us to do"....

every day so far someone has come to the center.... someone we could show and tell what we are all about... someone who has some connections to someone out there that needs Jesus...

in our prayer meeting yesterday we talked about what it means to be successful as a Christian..
and this is what I found this morning:

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.  Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:7-9

So I would say, with the Lord's help we are striving to be just that...
and so He is faithful:

meeting with the "Ministerial" of Georgetown, this is a group of all the pastors of this town, on Wednesday to present our ministry... Hallelujah!!
brochures and posters delivered to the Ministerial meeting in Acton, ( on the same day....) so that the churches already can put it up for their congregation.. meeting with them for their next available meeting.
Post Abortion Counseling training scheduled for November 18
Volunteer Training Session to start in January
24 / 7 Hotline in place
transportation services for clients announced on website

I think this makes for a successful week at Hope for Life Pregnancy Care Center....
Trust and obey... for there is no other way... to be SUCCESSFUL in Jesus... but to trust and obey!!!

... the wonderful things he is doing..

Meeting this morning for our prayer meeting at Hope for Life Pregnancy Care Center, sharing all that has happened in the last few days, we decided we needed to have a Newsletter of some kind to inform our Volunteers and all that have a heart for this Ministry...


so, here it is..
this is what the Lord put on our hearts... first Doreen, and the second one mine...


1. Samuel 7:20-22
Again what more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD! For the sake of Your word, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these astounding things to let Your servant know.  For this reason You are great, O Lord GOD; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.


1. Corinthians 2 :7-12
we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory;  the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written,
“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, 
AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, 
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.  For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God 


We have been almost bursting with excitement over the things that happen EVERY DAY to give us a glimpse of what is on God's heart..
let me share a few things with you, just form the last few days:


Doreen has been taking the overflow of the Care Closet to a consignment store in Milton, the ladies there have been very excited and displayed our poster and our brochures.. Doreen is going to go and hang out with them to share the gospel..


I had an email on Friday from a young girl that is going to do a project on Hope for Life that potentially could earn her $ 5000,00 that she then would donate to Hope for Life.


A lady from our church has offered a room for any young pregnant girl that will need a place to stay during her pregnancy.


Doreen and Liz were in the Milton Hospital yesterday and the nurse in Obstetrics has now displayed our brochures by the reception and will hand them out to the women as she feels they need it.


The Youth program coordinator of Links2care was at the Center this morning, she was very impressed with what we are prepared to do here and has already been trying to convince some pregnant girls to come here.


Donations have been coming in and the Care Closet and Earn While You Learn Cupboard are filled to overflowing..


.... and it goes on and on and on... 


This blog is going to be updated as God continues to do more astounding things, as He is allowing us to see more of what He is all about...
In awe and humbled by Him choosing us to be involved in His plan.. all we can do is WORSHIP Him.. and that is what we are going to do...
