And the compassionate support that helped save a life

Greetings! When Jenna arrived for her pregnancy test and ultrasound, it was clear she was carrying far more than uncertainty about a pregnancy. She was carrying the weight of an incredibly hard year. Jenna had lost her home, her job, and nearly everything she owned. Already a single mom, she feared she might be pregnant after a traumatic night she could barely remember. She was scared, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn, but she knew deep down that abortion was not the answer. When her test came back positive, our team didn't rush her or turn her away. We sat with her, held her hand, and prayed. We asked God for wisdom, provision, and peace for Jenna's heart. The very next day, Jenna returned with a decision she never thought she could make. She chose life. Today, she's connected with housing and counseling resources and is taking prenatal classes.  We're so grateful for your support that allows Jenna and more women like her to encounter Jesus and receive free, life-giving services through Align. To contribute to sharing God's love and peace with women like Jenna, visit alignlifeministries.org/give. In the powerful, life-saving name of Jesus, Lisa Hosler President DONATE
