A Story of Hope at New Life Pregnancy Center

Candice* is a young mother of three children. For several years she has been a regular client at New Life Pregnancy Center, a ministry of ABCS. She lives nearby and walks to the center with her children to receive material assistance, attend Spanish parenting classes and join Bible studies.

At the end of a recent Bible study, parents received a survey about how the class had impacted them. One question asked, “Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?” The pregnancy center director took time to explain the gospel. “If you want to accept Christ but haven’t yet, you still can,” she said. “It’s so easy that all it takes is a prayer.”

Afterward, Candice approached the director and said, “I said the prayer.” The director was encouraged by her decision and gave Candice additional resources and mentorship.

Weeks later, during a meeting with the director, Candice broke down in tears. She shared that she and her husband were about to be evicted. Her husband had been unable to find steady work making it hard to pay rent.

How God Provided

The director spent the entire morning searching for community resources to help them but found none they qualified for. It was a difficult situation but God had a plan. Just days before the eviction date, Candice’s husband found employment. The timing allowed them to pay what they owed and avoid losing their home.

“I know it was God watching my back,” Candice told the director. The director rejoiced in both God’s provision and Candice’s growing faith. “She knows now that Jesus loves her and is fighting for her. After that happened I feel like she’s on fire. She knows God is moving for her family and she’s seeing it.”

The emotional, spiritual and practical support Candice receives at New Life Pregnancy Center continues to be a source of hope and strength. Join us in praising God for her growing faith and in praying for her family’s financial stability. *Name changed
