Give her a second chance...
Dear Family Life Services,
Your ultrasound presentation [at an event] stirred memories in me that I had not really dealt with in 15 years, and I did not even realize it! I felt so much better after you talked with me. Thank you so much for taking that time for me. A lot of people, especially men, feel miscarriage is not quite the same loss [as a child], but it is… no matter how early or late. May God continue to bless you and the work you do. It does not go unnoticed. May He continue to use you as you minister to others.
He certainly used you to minister to me!

Did you know the approximate cost of an
ultrasound at Family Life Services is $211?
Thanks to you, this is just one of many services
that women receive for free when they come to
our center.
And thanks to you, when a mother sees her
baby’s heartbeat for the first time, she is given
a second chance to choose life for her child.

If We Don’t Stand Up, No One Will Winter Gala 2016
Carol Everett’s testimony of her former career as an abortion provider exposed more disturbing facts about abortion clinics than you may care to know. But that fact is, you need to know.
In Carol’s words, “We are not called to be quiet. We are called to stand up for God and His principles, and if we don’t stand up, no one will.”
It is time to stand up against abortion like never before. This is our local mission outreach, and Family Life Services exists as one of God’s tools in this outreach to end abortion.
Last year alone, your support saved 14 precious lives.
Carol’s challenge to us throughout the evening was to listen to her story and figure out what we were going to do with it.
Some of you will choose to join our faithful volunteers who serve as local missionaries at the center. Others may decide to make a monthly pledge or an additional gift to the center to invest in young mothers who need hope.
And hopefully all of you will save lives through listening to Carol’s story and deciding what God is calling you to do in light of it.
Thank You to those of you who joined us at the Winter Gala and helped us raise over $30,000! Audio recordings of Carol’s story are available*.
Please contact Karalee Robison for more information at 734-434-3088 or [email protected]
*A small donation for hard copies is suggested.
