Get to Know Emalee

Our Development Coordinator

Many of you have gotten to know our Development Coordinator, Emalee Yow, through the Walk4Life and the Peninsula4Life Dinner this year. But we thought it was time to really introduce her to the CNP Family!

A native of New Bern, North Carolina, Emalee moved to Virginia with her husband, Adam, to be part of the Manna Church Newport News relaunch. Over the past few years, God has been moving to bring Emalee to our team.

Before her move to VA, Emalee earned a Bachelor’s degree from Manna University and served as a Missions and Outreach Intern at Manna Church in Fayetteville. During this time, she worked hard on her skills in planning and executing large-scale events, outreaches, and mission trips.

Emalee’s proficiency in these areas made her transition into the role of Development Coordinator smooth when she joined us earlier this year in the middle of Walk4Life planning and Bottles4Life Campaigns, and we know she has been a blessing to the Development team.

If you’ve ever met or talked to Emalee, you know right away why we’re all so grateful to have her on our team. In fact, it’s hard to believe she hasn’t even been with us for a whole year yet!

So feel free to stop by and say hi to Emalee, learn about our upcoming fundraising events, and grab a cup of coffee.

What Is An Options Counseling Session?

But there’s one service that seems to many of our donors as, well, mysterious. We use words like “safe space” and “lovingkindness” when we discuss our services, but what exactly is this thing we call an “Options Counseling Session?”

When Going Above and Beyond Makes a Difference

Although the clinic is open during daytime hours, our nurses and advocates frequently serve vulnerable women around the clock to support themin their time of need.

One example of this happened this week! On Tuesday, one of our advocates received an after hours call from a client in a very dangerous situation and in need of an escape. The team immediately collaborated to find a safe place for this client and one of our advocates personally drove this young woman, late in the night, to get her to a maternity home and away from harm. For our team to be able to connect this woman to a maternity home in less than 24 hours was a miracle in itself! Typically, the maternity homes in Virginia are continuously booked and working on a wait list. Yet, God provided an opening the exact same day this woman reached out for help. 

Our team consistently gives above and beyond every week to support women as they navigate hard circumstances in their pursuit to choose LIFE for their babies!

Your support of this mission helps us continue to connect vulnerable clients in our area to the practical and spiritual help and hope they need. Please pray with us for the continued safety, protection, and health of this client and her baby.
