Love Out Loud
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14
A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the staff, board of directors and volunteers of the
Pregnancy Life Center. We are in full swing to bring in 2016 with a new theme – Love Out Loud - not only to
love in thoughts and words, but in action. One action we are taking this year is that we’re going medical!
We’re currently involved in obtaining an ultrasound machine, hiring medical staff and doing renovations to
our building. Watch for more information in the coming months, but for now, please be in prayer that the
financial needs to become medical would be met. In this newsletter, we feature the babies - the gifts of love
that bless the PLC with purpose and mission. Each represents a family blessed by your generosity. You Love
Out Loud every time you remember one of these families or our staff and mission in your prayers, and offer
financial and material support. For this, we are continually thankful.

"The videos gave me a lot of information on
how to make good decisions.”
~Cassaundra (Silas’s Mom)
"The PLC came to my
school during my
lunch and I could
watch educational
videos about how my
baby was developing
and what foods I
should eat during
pregnancy. I go after
school to use the Baby
Store to get my
daughter clothes and
other things."
~Megan
(Adalynn’s Mom)
"I’m very grateful
for the diapers and
items available at
the Baby Store. This
helps me save money
to buy other
important things.
Thank You!”

"Through the Bible studies, I’ve learned that God
never gives you more than you can handle. I am
not angry with God for the loss of my infant son
Benjamin II (Emily’s twin) because I know he is
with Jesus.”

taking these
adorable pictures

"It’s really nice that I can go to the
PLC and get the spiritual food I
need to get me through the week.
I’m not working right now so most
of what I need for my child comes
from the PLC. I’m so thankful!"

“I have never been so connected to God because I
always blamed Him for my problems. The Bible
studies helped me realize that we struggle to grow
and become stronger and closer to God.”

“Before taking the classes I literally knew
nothing about babies and had never even held
a baby before. It’s encouraging to know this
faith-based program helps instill the values of
God in parents so they can pass on those
values.."

financially to get our
diapers and wipes
from the Baby Store..”

"The classes teach me how to handle
my kids’ emotions. The store is
great because I can earn clothes and
diapers for my son."
~Christina (Nathaniel’s Mom)
"I’m encouraged to
spend more quality
time with my family
because my kids learn
from me. If we do
things together, they
will have fun and
know how much I
care. Bridges helps
me spiritually and the
songs there are very
soothing.”
