Chicago Region Update – August 12, 2026

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. That's the work.

Second, we're hosting a Community Giveaway on Saturday, August 15th, from 10am to 1pm at our Elgin Clinic. We have an abundance of material support right now, diapers, baby clothes, household supplies, and it's time it got into the hands of families who need it. We'll have the mobile unit out and some snacks on hand. The approach is simple: a mom can come, take a bag, fill it with what she needs. If you know a family who could use it, send them our way.

Third, we need a nurse. We have an opening in Chicagoland right now. If you know a nurse who is unapologetically Christian first and has a heart for this work, please send her my way.

Thank you for standing with us and for making it possible for us to care for the whole woman, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, in a region that needs it as much as any I know.
