Joy from Pain
When I was a little girl, age 5, my mother had an abortion. There were medical reasons, but the effects of that decision were life-long for her and for my father as well as for myself and likely my other siblings.
In a world where we are constantly faced with the challenges that this worldwide pandemic brings, we can hold fast to the stability of our Sovereign God. Due to the pandemic the abortion pill has been made more widely available to women facing unplanned pregnancies. They can now receive these pills via the United States Postal Service and have a chemical abortion in their home. At Care Net Peninsula and Alcove Health Women’s Clinic we want to be the first call for women who find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy. Finding a way to reach them in their home before they reach out to abortion providers is paramount in saving these precious babies. It has been challenging to meet with clients in the clinic, as our protocols had to adapt and include COVID precautions, but by God’s grace we have been able to see clients throughout the pandemic. Every aspect of our ministry has been opposed almost at every turn. But God has provided through innovative ideas, our generous donors, and you, our prayer partners! Praise God that in every way, He provides for this ministry to continue to serve women who think abortion is the only way out of an unplanned pregnancy and give them the help and hope they need to choose life for their baby.
Pray that the Lord would give us wisdom in our marketing to reach women considering the abortion pill.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” – James 1:5
Pray that the Lord would protect, refresh, and unify our Care Net & Alcove staff who work daily in this life affirming work.
“May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!” – Psalm 29:11
Pray for sponsors and table hosts to sign up for our upcoming Peninsula4Life Benefit Dinner.
“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!” – Psalm 90:7

You believe in life. It’s sacred. It’s undeniably alive. So you protect it. You speak up, you give money to Care Net Peninsula, and you pray that pregnant women won’t default to abortion. And that is what happens – women do choose life.
Too often in our culture, narratives don’t reflect reality. This is true on both sides of the political aisle and within all our different subcultures. Sometimes the lies don’t matter much – “Wow, Santa came and ate all those cookies! — Definitely NOT Dad!!” Other times, lives are at stake. If I’ve learned anything in my time at Care Net, it’s that the abortion industry lies, and then lies about lying.
You may have heard about a very important case being heard by the Supreme Court this Wednesday, Dec. 1st – the case of Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health.
