Here is the article I wrote for our Sr Newsletter at Canyon Lake Community  Church about our visit with you yesterday.  You did a marvelous presentation. I have sent a copy to our pastor.

In Christian Love,

RUTH CIRCLE TOURS BIRTH CHOICE

The ladies of Ruth Circle enjoyed a fun filled and inspiring day when they went to Mimi’s for Lunch and then toured Birth Choice of Temecula. Those attending were Virginia Mossberg, Nina Kitchin, Nancy Bundy, Phyllis Duncan, Roberta Ramsey, Mary Lou Patrick, Maxine Clem and Dorothy Bullard.

The Director, Jennifer Cartell, shared with them their mission.

• Saving the lives of unborn children.
• Providing physical, emotional, practical and spiritual help for women and men with unplanned pregnancies,
• Offering support and healing to victims of past abortions
• Preventing crisis pregnancies through abstinence education.
• Providing education to the community on issues regarding the Sanctity of Human Life.

Their Vision statement is “To prevent the destruction of human life, while providing hope and healing to those affected by abortion.”

The ladies were warmly greeted, contributed their donations of food and baby needs and then relaxed at the social table in the activity center as Jennifer shared with them their mission. After this instructional time they toured the two conference rooms, bathroom, the clothing and food distribution room and the examining room which had the ultrasound equipment which is used by registered RNs. She shared that 85% of the girls that  have the ultrasound test taken do not have an abortion.

Of special interest was the possibility of any of us being mentors for the many girls that come there

Awhile back, I was reminded of the story in the Bible, where King Solomon was called on to judge between two women to see who was the mother of a young baby.  These women were, according to the Bible, harlots and yet King Solomon in his wisdom knew that it is within every mother to instinctively want to protect her baby, no matter what the cost.  As most of you know, King Solomon suggested cutting the baby in half and each women sharing the baby.  Of course the real mother, the Bible says yearned with compassion for her son, and was willing to give her son to the other women in order to save his life.

As I think about this story I am saddened that the instinct to save our babies seems to be lost.  Here the mother, even after her son was born was willing to give him up in order to save his life, and yet so many women tell us that they would rather abort their babies instead of giving them up for adoption. 

Please continue to pray for our counselors, nurses and receptionists as we minister to these women everyday and try to get them to realize that the baby inside them is God’s creation and that God loves their baby. 

Pray as we remind our clients that the moment they became pregnant, they were in fact mothers and as mothers they should want to protect their babies no matter what the cost.  Pray that more women would come to us before they decide on abortion and that more would choose life for their babies.
