However, resist the pull to mirror social services. Through entry-level adult Christian Education classes to support groups meeting various aspects of crisis pregnancy, the church can not only reach out but also draw in. The church should extend aid where help is needed, but the final goal is nurture of the needy that enables them to become mature Christians, able then to help others. Resource Centers were again encouraged in the 1992 Policy on Problem Pregnancy and Abortion. PPL has resources to help your church in developing such a ministry - listed below.
Some women choose abortion because they have no place to live.
Pregnancy help centers are always in need of families willing and able to provide this ministry, and congregations can help by encouraging members to open their homes to someone in such a situation. For a young woman in crisis, being part of a Christian family can result in life-changing effects. Contact PPL, your local pregnancy help center, or one of the organizations listed below for more information. Some centers are licensed for limited medical services, such as sonograms and first trimester prenatal care. The specifics offered vary by center, however their focus is to reach those in a crisis pregnancy and provide the support that is needed for that individual to choose life.
