Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves received from God” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
“Through the study, I began to understand how God sees me, loves me, and forgives me. Once I chose to accept God’s forgiveness, I was then able to start to forgive myself and to start grieving my children I had aborted. I was able to openly share with the other ladies in the group! The secret was no more, and the shame dissolved. I was now unafraid to tell my story of how God redeemed me through his mercy and grace. My journey of healing and growing continues…but God!” — Marigold*
“It was a well-planned program, using a workbook that led us through scriptures and encouraged us to answer tough questions and share feelings about them–about relationships, responsibility, anger, burdens, naming the baby, and more. Somewhere around week eight or nine, I can actually remember feeling set free. What I know for sure now is that Jesus has (had even long ago) forgiven me and swept away the sin of my abortion and, with it, my shame and guilt. I will always have a deep appreciation to the leaders of the ministry for guiding me through this life-changing experience and a special love and bond with those five ladies.” — Jasmine*
“The team offered me authentic compassion and kindness, along with private and confidential support. Through both individual and group Bible studies, they poured out their hearts and souls to share the love of Jesus. God used them to remind me of His love and forgiveness, along with how to receive healing and freedom from guilt and shame. I have been blessed and am so grateful for the encouragement, and the knowledge that I am not alone. Not only do I have a deeper and restored relationship with my Lord, but also made special friends and sisters for life.” — Rose*
