BE PREPARED

Hello all,

It has been pretty slow this summer.  Our appointments have been few and our EWYL classes have also been down a bit.  I suppose it is often referred to as the “Summer Slump” or “Summer Slow Down.”  I prefer to call it the “Summer Regroup.”  Because, you see we can use this time to prepare for the times when our appointment books are filled with new and return clients who need our services.  God knows how to assist this ministry when we need assisting, because so many of our volunteers are out on vacation or other life issues that have drawn them away for a while.

So during this time we will take the opportunity to learn, grow and prepare.  One way to do this is by watching the many videos we have available here at the Center.  These videos will encourage and inspire us to continue working diligently at stopping abortion and helping mothers in need of spiritual and material needs.

Another way we can prepare is by completing the Evangelism Training available through Mission Preborn and Carenet.  The instructions on these evangelism trainings are available in print here at the Center or I will gladly email them to you so you can take the training in the convenience of your own home.

Preparation number 3 is new.  The clients we see at the Center come from all walks of life and from many different beliefs and faiths.  Just this past week a Muslim woman came to the Center.  We need to be ready to share the Gospel with anyone who is of a different belief.  Our church has been studying “Dare2Share” on Wednesday nights.  This information will be printed and available to read while at the Center.  Or you can go to the website at www.dare2share.org/products-resources/worldviews.  “When you’re sharing your faith with someone who believes differently than you about Jesus, be sure to “ask, admire and admit.” https://youtu.be/E7RkC9C3H7U

Volunteer training next Saturday, June 18, 8:30 -12N.  We have several signed up to attend this training.  Please call the office to add your name.  We will be covering the position of Client Assistant (counselor).  This volunteer position is not difficult and does not require a degree in counseling.  Basically it is listening and showing Christian love, however, there are procedures and guidelines we must follow.  So please, if interested please attend this important training session.  Hope to see YOU there. Beach satellite news:  Last week we have one client to attend the EWYL class on Monday evening at the Beach location.  A dear volunteer has offered to put out flyers about the new location and we now have signs to place in front of the new facility on the days we are there.  We expect God to do a mighty work at this location, just as He has and is presently doing at the Main Center location.  We have a nurse and receptionist ready to start taking clients on Wednesday mornings;  however we are still in needs of a Client Assistant for that time.  If interested, please pray about it.  Then if God is leading you to help these girls, please call and let us know. Projects for the coming weeks include:  Student Outreach (calling and scheduling visits to the schools to share our information with counselors and nurses), Church Outreach (calling and scheduling visits to churches in our area and asking for speaking opportunities. Volunteer Needs: Receptionists:  Monday (5-7), and Tuesday (10-1) Client Assistants:  Monday (5-7), Tuesday 10-1 and 1-4), Thursday 10-2 and 1-4 and Wednesday (10-1 at the Beach) Nurses:  Monday (5-7) and Thursday (10-4). Sonographer:  Monday (5-7) and Thursday 10-4) Thank you for your prayers for the above needs and for the continued blessings from God on this ministry.  Praise God from whom all blessing flow. Have a wonderful weekend! “Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth  of a fool invites ruin.” Proverbs 10:14 (NIV)
