There
are many post-abortive women in our
churches who live in silent torment. They are
slowly self-destructing.
They believe that if their
friends knew what they had done, they would
reject and condemn them.
We must reach out in
truth, love and mercy, and bring the good news
of Christ’s forgiveness and healing to these
hurting women.
If you or someone you know has experienced
an abortion, we can help. Abortion AfterCare-Healing
