This month, a young couple came to us who were considering an abortion. As our office manager began talking with the boyfriend, he told her he wanted to support his girlfriend's decision. She didn't let that be the end of the conversation. She told him to fight for his baby. She shared that his baby is a gift from God, and just as much a baby right now as a baby outside the womb. And she didn't stop there. She shared the Gospel with him. He told her he considers himself spiri

This month, you and I have so much to thank God for. Praise the Lord, three moms who were seeking an abortion changed their minds and chose life! That is three precious babies, and three family lines that will keep growing for generations to come. Only God can write a story like that! We were also able to attend several back-to-school events at local businesses and universities, and we had wonderful conversations at each one. Because these events have been so fruitful, we

This month, we had an amazing time with Fox Valley Church and First Baptist Church of Elgin. Our team was able to present our work to both congregations, and I'm so grateful for their time and support! It's always encouraging to partner with churches and organizations who are standing with us in the fight for life. Our partners are truly what make this life-saving work possible, and there's something special about gathering together to share what God is doing. If your churc

This was a heavy month for our Franklin team. The clinic has stayed busy, and we're grateful for that, especially because so many of these appointments are with moms who are seeking an abortion. We pray, plead, and hope for every single client to choose life, but many still choose abortion. This month, a lot of our moms stopped responding to our nurse, chose abortion, missed their appointments, or had miscarriages. We've felt the weight of loss this month, and we've walke

If there is one thing the Lord has been teaching me through this clinic, it is that waiting does not mean He isn’t working. Throughout Scripture, God’s people waited. Abraham and Sarah waited for the son God promised. Joseph waited years to see God’s purposes unfold. David was anointed long before he became king. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness before entering the Promised Land. The waiting was never wasted. I have to remind myself of that often in this season.

This month, I want to rejoice with you and ask you to join us in prayer. One of our moms brought her boyfriend to an ultrasound appointment. She was considering an abortion, and he told her he'd support whatever she decided. While she was in her appointment, he waited in the lobby, and our office manager sat with him there. He shared that he believed in God and had been raised in the church, but he admitted he didn't fully understand the Gospel. So she shared the gospel wit

August was filled with life. Five Alliance babies were born this month, and what a joy it has been to celebrate alongside their mothers. We got to walk closely with these women at one of the most critical moments of their lives, and now we get to watch them step into motherhood. But it doesn't stop there. Each of these babies is the start of a family line that keeps going. A child who will grow up, go to school, maybe have children of their own someday. We thank God for the

August was one of those months where I kept looking at the numbers and thinking, are we sure this is right? We served 46 clients, tying July for our busiest month ever in Franklin. Two months in a row. We might need a bigger waiting room! But here's the story that stuck with me. We had a client who was leaning toward abortion. She told us she'd call to schedule a follow-up ultrasound, and when the call never came, we figured we knew how that story ended. Then, completely ou

Every week brings something new here in Lenoir City! We are working hard to get the clinic ready for the women who will soon walk through our doors. And as we work through the challenges along the way, I've got one big request for you: will you help us get this clinic ready? First, I would love for you to join me in prayer for a nurse. God is faithful, and I know He is the one who brought us here in the first place. He isn’t going to leave us high and dry without a nurse. I

This month, I want to thank God for our Grand Opening Celebration on August 27th. Over 100 people joined us. Volunteers, neighbors, our co-CEOs, Steve and Ginna Cross, and even our city commissioner Michelle Turnberg came out to celebrate with us. What a grand time it was! And here's the incredible part: it was exactly one year and one day prior that I first met Ginna to gauge the interest for a clinic here. One year. And there we stood celebrating a Grand Opening. I’m in com

This month, I want to tell you about a mother who walked into our clinic determined to have an abortion. Her husband travels a lot for work, and she already had a child at home. In her mind, another baby just wasn't possible. We started the ultrasound, and the moment we let her hear her baby's heartbeat, she broke down in tears. She went home, talked it through with her husband, and they decided to keep their baby. That's a quick telling of the whole model in one moment.

There's a scripture that I love that shows the heart of God. It is Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you." I thought of that verse again a few weeks ago when a mom walked back into our Racine Clinic, not for an appointment this time, but to say thank you. She told us that if it hadn't been for Alliance, her son would not be here. Then she just talked about him. About being his mom. About how much she loves that baby. She has given us permission to shar

If you've been around Alliance for any length of time, you know I love a good story with a happy ending. This one has four! Three moms in three weeks got connected with Alliance for something called abortion pill reversal. These three moms here in the Nashville region called us in the middle of a decision they'd already started to regret. Each of them had begun the abortion pill process, which is a two-step regimen, and each of them changed her mind after that first step.

A few things I want to share with you from Schaumburg and Elgin. First, some good news worth celebrating! We've been walking with a woman for a while now who wasn't planning on having her baby. She kept coming back to see us, appointment after appointment, and at her last visit, she brought her boyfriend with her. They've chosen life! I'm always reminded, when this happens, that the win isn't just a baby saved. It's a step toward Jesus, and we get to walk alongside that.

Our first appointment here in Fargo was not the typical situation I expected. A couple came in with several concerns including health. After educating and recommending them to consult their provider before making any decisions, they left seemingly still set on abortion. Even though the situation felt bleak, my receptionist and I fervently prayed after they left that God would move. I called on personal prayer teams to pray for them, and our community prayed for them at our mo

I have to start with a praise report. We are getting so close to having our permits approved with the city, which means we get to move into full construction mode soon. Our construction crew is ready to go, finishes are being picked out, materials are starting to arrive, and we can finally see how this little 126-year-old building is going to become a clinic. I sat in the building this week and just cried and laughed thinking about all God is already doing there...and we ar

It’s hard to believe, but we're halfway through the year! I wanted to pause and share what's happened over these past six months. We are now in the final stages of completing something that only God could have orchestrated. TLC Pregnancy Services has joined Alliance Family Services in Chicago, and we now have two physical locations and a mobile clinic right in the middle of one of the largest “abortion destinations” in the country. I'm honestly still a little overwhelmed th
