Dear Friends,

The following are three stories with different endings that I knew you would

want hear about.

Ill adopt the babies! This was the response we received after we put out a

prayer text alert through cell phones. Heres what happened:

A client came in the doors of Piedmont Womens Center asking for an abortion.

Truthfully its not all that unusual. Being located next door to an abortion

clinic does put us in a wonderful position to greet those women God sends inour doors. He gives us the opportunity to offer them their way out. They

are always greeted with truth; always. We know God honors truth.

Right away we told her thatwe are not abortion providers, but here is what

we do provide:free pregnancy tests, free limited OB ultrasounds, confidential

counseling and referrals for free medical assistance for you and your baby. But

she didnt want any of this assistance. She already knew she was pregnant. In

fact she knew she was carrying twins. She just didnt want these babies.

We immediately put out an emergency prayer text alert. We are so grateful to

those 150 or so who have told us, text me with an immediate prayer need.

When we see the text alert, we will stop and pray. So we did, we all did. But

this young lady wanted the abortion clinic so she left. We dont refer for

abortions. And we made a point of not looking out the window to see if she

drove next door. We are called to offer her the Hope of Jesus and informa-

tion about her baby. Its not our job or responsibility to make her decision

for her, so we released her to our God and prayed.Sadness filled our hearts.

Thank you for helping to keep our doors open and lights on. You made it

possible for us to offer her The One who wants to be her Way Maker, seeing

her babies as a blessing and not a curse. Our Jesus!

My second story happened while I was grocery shopping one day last year.

A neighbor from years ago stopped me to say some very precious words;

Thank you for saving my grandson. I knew her story but I didnt know

she knew Piedmont Womens Centers role in the story. Her daughter camethrough our doors planning to abort her baby if she found out she was

pregnant. Yes, she found out she was. In fact she was 12 weeks pregnant.

After her free ultrasound, and much love and counsel, she chose Life.

When she was affirmed in her relationship with Jesus her journey became

clearer. God had not left her. She could trust Him with this pregnancy.

And with His help you could trust her parents to walk along side her.

She is now married and her baby is now 8 years old! Our young client told

her mother last year about PWCs role in saving his life. She wept as she said

to tell everyone thank you. This little guy might even go to church with your

child or grandchild. Isnt that something? Thank you for giving so this young

mother has a story to tell instead of an abortion secret to keep.

And then there is story number 3.A Salvation!

A few days ago a young woman who had visited one of our clinics came back

for an item she left behind.

While visiting with her in a quiet room I told her I was so sorry I had forgotten

to share with her and the friends that were with her about our abortion recov-

ery ministry. I told her abortion affects all of us.

Then I softly asked, have you ever had an abortion? God brought her back

by herself to be able to answer that question, yes, but Ive never told anyone.

The father doesnt know, my parents dont know, my friends dont know.

As tears streamed down her face she said, Ive never told anyone. You are the

first person to hear these words.

I told her there is a way to healing and recovery.

There is hope and His name is Jesus.

She broke my heart with the words, He hates me! He could never forgive me

for killing my baby.

I asked her would she like to spend some time with us to talk about our Jesus

who forgives. Oh yes, yes, I have time.

Thats when I invited our staff member Sherry to step in and speak to her about

post-abortion distress, and more importantly about our Jesus.

It was a transformation! She left here changed by our Savior, Christ Jesus.

She surrendered her Life, and left her pain at the foot of the Cross. I knew

youd want to know...we have a new Sister in Christ!

Three different, but real stories of the women and families touched by theministry of Piedmont womens Center. Stories you made possible!

A few weeks ago one of my board members visited a local church to share this

ministry of life. After telling the pastor stories of babies saved and lives changed

he said, I would be ashamed of myself as a pastor if I let you leave here without

telling you I will commit to doing something for Piedmont Womens Center. I

have to do more than say I am pro-life. I have to do something!

We are so grateful to those who are doing more than just talking about protect-ing unborn children. They are praying, giving and volunteering. We need you to

do something too. Please look at our response card and ask yourself, how can

I put action to what I believe? Together lets protect the littlest among us, the

unborn.

Together in Christ,

Lenna Neill, CEO

PS. Would you consider joining me in prayer and giving as generously as pos-

sible? Together we can end the tragedy of abortion!
