How Mia Came to Christ Because of You!
It all started with a single phone call.
Your generous support for Pregnancy Decision Line (PDL), Care Net’s national hotline, opens the door for frightened moms to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ and choose life for their unborn babies and abundant life for their families.
It often takes more than just one conversation to change someone’s life and, in some cases, it can take weeks of one of our hotline coaches reaching out before they have the relationship and the opportunity to share the Gospel.
When Mia first called our hotline coach, Maria*, she hadn’t decided whether or not to keep her baby. She was leaning hard into going out of state to get an abortion (since abortion is illegal where she lives). But after speaking with one of our PDL coaches, and hearing all of the love and tangible support available to her, Mia started to rethink her options.
A few weeks later, Mia heard from her PDL coach again. Things went smoother this time. Mia knew she could talk to her coach freely because she’d been so kind and supportive the first time.
Pointing to Christ, Saving Lives
As they talked, their discussion shifted to spiritual matters. Mia knew about God, but she didn’t really think of herself as a Christian. Her coach told her about Jesus’ love for her and her baby. Better still, she told Mia that Jesus had a plan and a purpose for them.
Mia had been asking God to help her since the time she found out she was pregnant, but she still felt guilty, she was still scared, and she doubted she could provide her baby with a solid future with what little she had. What Maria described sounded better than how she’d been living her life or what she could provide for herself.
After a minute or so, Mia made her decision. They prayed over the phone. By the end, Mia felt different than before she made the call. Something had changed inside her; something she couldn’t yet fully understand. But she knew things were about to change in a big way.
