Faith Based Investing

In the ongoing struggle to save the unborn, we often times lose sight of the mothers who are pondering this most horrific choice. Many of these girls and women do not realize that there truly is a “choice” other than abortion. They don’t know that there are options out there for prenatal care as well as counseling services.

Choices Medical Clinic is located across the street from the late Dr. George Tiller’s abortion clinic where partial-birth abortions were once performed. Many women who originally sought to have an abortion, have ended up at Choices and have opted for life for their babies and many have given their lives to Christ because of the loving witness of the workers there.

Choices Medical Clinic offers women who are faced with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy the choice of life for their babies as well as prenatal care and an opportunity to hear the Good News of Salvation through Christ Jesus. Mothers can receive free prenatal care provided by a physician, pregnancy testing and ultrasound examinations. Often times, it is these ultrasounds that are the deciding factor in a woman’s decision to keep her baby.

The volunteers who work at Choices Medical Clinic are Christians. As they talk with the women who come through the doors, they share with them the love of Christ and offer spiritual and emotional assistance as well as the physical assistance. It is this all encompassing mission of Choices Medical Clinic which makes it such a wonderful option. A perinatal hospice program is also offered to women who have been told their unborn babies will either die during birth or shortly thereafter. This is such a blessing to those women who have been urged to have an abortion rather than carry their babies to term.

So in our continued efforts to stamp out abortion, let us not forget the mothers. Let us be there to care for their physical, spiritual and emotional needs. In this way, we can save one life at a time. Please visit their website at http://www.choicesmc.org/index.php.

I would like to share information about a charity that is near and dear to my heart: Food for the Poor. We have been faithfully giving to this wonderful organization for a few years now. I can’t begin to describe how it has touched my heart and filled me with such a sense of urgency in assisting the poor and needy.

Food for the Poor is a ministry that was established in 1982 to assist the impoverished people in 17 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. This ministry strives to reflect God’s unconditional love with every person it serves. A Christian organization, it believes that our living Lord can best be served by assisting those in greatest need. In fact, the scripture that is at the core of the ministry is Matthew 25:31-46.
