Resources for Women

God is good! Read the letter below from Michaell Hancock, Executive Director for Resources for Women, the Pregnancy Care Center that Tomoka Christian supports.

Dear Pastor Joe and Tomoka Christian Church,

The number one reason women give for having an abortion is that they feel like having a baby will interfere with school, work, or other responsibilities.

That was the case with Mandi (not her real name), an eighteen-year-old student who recently came in for a pregnancy test. The test was positive. Mandi explained to our Advocate that she felt like abortion was the best thing because she wanted to finish college and start a career. The Advocate listened to her concerns and, with care and kindness, educated her about abortion and encouraged her to take a deeper look at her options. During that conversation, Mandi was surprised to learn that her baby already had a heartbeat.

Because of their time together, Mandi chose life for her baby!

She returned the next day, remarking, "I don't know what I was thinking." Today she is excited about having her baby, whose heartbeat she has seen on our ultrasound.

Thanking you for supporting us. What we do matters!

Totally Trusting Him,

Michaell Hancock
