NEW MINISTERS

And hello to all you new people.  If you are reading this for the first time, it is because you either attended our Delivering Hope Banquet or signed up to attend and gave your email.  I hope you enjoy our weekly news from the PRC, but if for some reason you wish not to receive this email, or if you happen to receive duplicates, please let me know and I will remove you from the list.

During this week we had 13 clients come for pregnancy testing.  or to sign up for our Earn While You Learn classes. One precious girl signed our Wall of Life.  This of course means she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. The total Earn While You Learn attendees this week were 12.  We are constantly amazed at how God is working in the lives of our ladies who attend our classes.

Just being at this Center every day I am so blessed to witness how the clients receives care and love from our volunteers.  One of the pregnant girls who received an ultrasound during the nurses training called back last week stating she had some medical difficulties.  It was so good to see how Nurse Becky jumped right on top of the problem and worked with the client to get her to see a doctor as soon as possible.  Love truly abounds around here.

Three new volunteers who are finding their preferred area of service have come on board, and several have signed up and praying about when they can contribute.  So often we see an excited, enthusiastic woman who wants to serve God by helping to stop abortion and serve the pregnant ladies who come to the center.  Then the enemy pulls out all stops to prevent these sweet ladies from keeping their commitments to this ministry.  Please be praying for all our volunteers, because they are on the front lines in this battle where they come face to face with forces that they are not expecting.  These forces cause havoc, not only in their minds, but in their circumstances.

Upcoming:
Earn While You learn training is set for Saturday, April 30.  This will be a half day training, where those who help with our classes will come together for brain storming about ways we can better serve our clients.  We will also be going over procedures and making plans for curriculum and other items.  If you are interested in working in this area of the ministry, please call and we will get you on the list.

Volunteer Appreciation is set for Saturday, May 21.  A dear board member has offered her home for the volunteers to gather for a time of sweet fellowship.  We will be meeting at 4PM on that Saturday and enjoy a time of getting to know one another.  If you work on a specific day you will have the opportunity to meet  those who work on other days of the week.  We will have games and lots of fun planned.  More will be revealed as the weeks pass.  So be sure to get your name on the list.  We will have a sign up sheet in the office.

Attention Receptionists and Client Assistants:
Please be sure to read the procedures that can be found in the front room or at the work table.  We ask that they be read every two weeks so everyone is on the same page about certain items.  If you have any suggestions for them, they are certainly welcome. Also you can keep your enthusiasm burning by watching one of the videos we have available on abortion.  Many can also be found on You Tube by searching abortion videos.

Help needed:
A Client Assistant has moved and left a vacancy for Thursday morning.    This may be just for you.  We also need a  Receptionist and Client Assistant  for Tuesday afternoon  and Thursday afternoon.  Summer vacations will take some of our volunteers away for a few weeks, so if you can help out this summer for a day or just a few hours, please let us know.  A couple of our nurses will be away training at Emerald Coast so RNs are welcome to come do pregnancy testing until they return.
Please check out our facebook page and don't forget you can make a donation through paypal or your credit card on our webpage at anotherheart.org.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12

God is sooo good all the time!!!

BUSY, EXCITING, AMAZING AND EDUCATIONAL

Hello everyone,
These two weeks have been busy, exciting, amazing, and educational.

Busy getting ready for the banquet.  Many hands were involved and the results were beautiful.  Nothing but positive reviews have been heard from all about this year’s banquet.  If you missed it, please know it was God honoring and life affirming with delicious food and great fellowship.



The night was exciting and the next day was also exciting and busy and two of us met to list checks and pledges from the banquet.  The total of all is currently at $46K and we are seeing additional donations come in still.  Thank God He supplies all our needs and blesses as the blessings are needed.

As I left the Center on Friday after getting  the deposit ready from the banquet I was amazed at how much still needed to be done per post banquet. But am now amazed at how quickly it has been accomplished.  Wonderful volunteers and staff pitched in and the list is almost completed.  I am amazed over and over about the many sweet people who give toward this ministry with their time, money, resources and most importantly prayer.

Educational?  How could this week be educational?  We learned many lessons from the banquet that will carry over to next year.  Every year the banquet gets better and better and we learn so much from the event, so if you have never been to one, please make it a priority to attend next year.  I promise you two will be amazed.
Another way we see education this week is with our nurses.  Two nurses are receiving ultrasound training and Nurse Becky is receiving refresher.  In a few weeks we will have three nurses who can perform ultrasounds, making it more convenient for a client to see her baby as soon as possible and therefore choose life when considering abortion.

Coming up:
Abortion Recovery classes will begin Monday evening.  We have 9 ladies set to enroll in these classes.  They will last for six weeks.  If you are interested in the next session, please call the office and we will get your name on the list.

Earn While You Learn Training is set for Saturday, April 30. This will be a time to discuss the policies and procedures for our EWYL classes and Bible Studies.  We will also be doing some brain storming on curriculum, hours and even a possible satellite center location for our EWYL classes.  If you are interested in helping with this part of the ministry please call and sign up for the training.  It will begin at 8:30 and should end at 12 Noon.

April is Volunteer Appreciation month.  Our volunteers are so precious and we want them to know how much.  Please watch for a date to be set for a Volunteer Appreciation event in the coming weeks.

Needs:
Vacations are also upon us and many of our volunteers will be out.  If you can help during the summer for just a few hours a week it would be so helpful.

The Baby Boutique needs wipes and newborn diapers
Prayer  for more abortion minded women and girls to come here first.
Please never stop praying for this ministry!
God is sooo good, all the time,

I see the work of Your Hands
Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance oh God
