Saved Lives

Wendy, resident (1987): "When I first became pregnant, everything went downhill! Then my parents found out about His Caring Place, and it was a wonderful experience for me. It grew me up. It also allowed me to go through my pregnancy with other girls in my situation. I finished my education and learned how to be a good mom. After leaving the home, the Lord found me a wonderful husband, and we now have two children. I’m very thankful for His Caring Place."

Latoya, resident (2004): "My baby’s father wanted me to have an abortion, but I didn’t want to . . . I called His Caring Place, and they told me to come in on April 28, and on that day, I went into labor and gave birth to my son, Levonte . . . I thought, “Thank you God for answering my prayers.” I drew closer to the Lord in so many ways—emotionally, spiritually. He has shown me a lot. I was not only in a maternity home, but I was with people who felt like family; I could confide in them . . . It’s so amazing what the Lord has done for Levonte and me. Since the day that he was born, the Lord has met all of our needs."

Leah, resident (2004): "While at His Caring Place, I made one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. About four months into my pregnancy, I decided on an adoption plan. I wanted my child placed in a loving environment with a mother and father to care for her. After much prayer and consideration, I selected a strong Christian family to raise my child. I gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and now we both have a new life. She’s in a better place, and I am now getting my life together. God used His Caring Place to show me that other people can and want to help. Now I want to do the same for others."

Bethany,22: “God has been opening my eyes to so many things culminating in my baptism in April. He is giving me focus and direction for my life. When I am anxious about the future, I remember Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 3:5-6 and that God wants the best for me and for my daughter. Now I want to be sure that this little girl has the benefits of a foundation in faith.”

Cledia 15: “I recently became a Christian. One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 29:11 because it reminds me that God has put me here on earth for a reason. Even though I don’t know what will happen, He has already planned my future out. I am anxious to finish school and graduate so that I can get a good job that will allow me to take care of myself and may baby. My favorite subject is Language Arts and I love to read. My prayer request this Mother’s Day is that my baby is born healthy and strong.”

Derbie, 15: “I used to have a problem with attendance at school, but now I enjoy it and my grades are getting better. My favorite classes are English, Biology, and Drama (even though I have stage fright). I would like to go to medical school. I enjoy writing prayers in my diary and seeing God answer them. I am grateful that I don't have morning sickness anymore and I found out I am expecting a baby boy."

Luz, 22: "I am so happy that my baby boy is sleeping through the night. I named him Elijah so that he would do great things for God. He loves to smile and laugh, particularly when we play praise and worship music! I am now a semester away from my Associate’s degree in Fashion Design/Marketing and then I plan to get my Bachelor’s degree in Business."

Kim, 21: "I am so thankful that my son Tyler is healthy. Many times I thought I didn’t want to bring a child into this world, but now I am encouraged by Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old,he will not turn from it.” I want to bring Tyler up in a Christian home so that he will always come back to Jesus, no matter what the circumstances are. My prayer request is that I continue to walk closely with the Lord as I make a decision about learning a trade."
