Director's Corner
What a busy and exciting summer as more sponsor families discover the benefits of standing in the gap for women and children. The Moormann Family was certainly blessed beyond their expectations as a sponsor family.
There are so many unique opportunities to get involved and bless these young women and children, as Unequaled Janitorial and Beta Sigma Phi (sidebar) have discovered. We thank you for your support.

Former “Latch-key Kid” Discovers the Key to a New Life
“My place in this life has changed many times: from an abused and neglected ‘latch-key’ kid into a homeless youth. Eventually, I graduated into a controlled housewife, which led me to be-come a single, homeless, preg-nant woman. Not exactly where I imagined myself being at such a delicate stage in my life.”
I was nearly five months pregnant by the time there was room in a local shelter. I was sleeping on couches and have moved three times by that time. CONTINUE

Sponsor Family Speaks Up!
A year ago, I met a representative from Bethany House, not knowing what God had in store for our family. She phoned me the next day with questions, and we discussed some of the things the Lord had been impressing on my heart. About six years ago, I had become a Labor Doula and had many opportunities to minister to young, single, expecting mothers in our church family.

Phase II Community –
Be part of the future
Friends, we want to update you on some very important decisions. After a session with our visioning team, the input of the board and other associated ministries, we have concluded that it is time to take the next big step, Phase II. It has always been the heart of this ministry to make a deeper impact on these precious lives with an extended program.
One thing that is very clear — our current location is not sufficient. It is time to “Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;” Isaiah 54:2 CONTINUE

SCRAPS
Nicole Harding decided to make her Senior Project something to help others. She learned about Bethany House from her mother, who has supported the program in the past. Her project titled: SCRAPS, stands for Sewing for Children Realizing All Parents can Succeed. She uses her “scraps” to create well-crafted and usable items for moth- ers and babies. Nicole hopes to someday be a neonatal specialist or Labor/ Delivery Nurse. Thanks, Nicole! |
