Defending life involves interacting with individuals at the point of their crisis. It requires asking them to consider the other person involved in their situation their unborn child. This year we had the opportunity to defend the lives of 15 babies who were at risk 4 of abortion; 5 however, 6 we know of 7 many others 8 whose lives were lost. This is where the tears come in. Restoring hearts depends first on God. However, it also requires us to step out of our comfort zones and put ourselves in front of people who need the Lord. By Gods grace, seven women put their trust in Jesus and sixty-three Bibles were distributed. This is where 11 joy happens. 12 13 14 15 Sheltering pregnant women occurred at the Amazing Grace Home (AGH) this year where volunteers and staff rose to the challenge of encouraging, praying Veterans Day for, and loving our six residents. Overall, MWC staff and volunteers provided 1,500 hours of life-affirming aid for our clients; these hours represent work part of this venture. 18 the hard 19 20 21 22 This year you will see new faces at the Center. After 10 years of service Tupee Garsinii retired this fall; we will miss her greatly. At just the right time, God brought Andrea Cross to serve as our new assistant. In the coming months, we will be hiring a Case Manager/Biblical Counselor to serve at AGH. 25 As you page 26 through27 28 29 this annual report, our prayer is that you will be encouraged and inspired by the impact your gifts have had on defending life, restoring hearts, and sheltering women and their families Thanksgiving for the glory of God.
