Sometimes when I travel I will load up a few of the SaveOne pregnancy journals, May I Have This Dance?, in our cute little SaveOne tote and bless the local pregnancy centers in the city where I will be. I like surprising them and dropping off this gift free of charge.
Our pregnancy centers are on the front lines of the battle for life. Many times these mothers and fathers come in for the free test, but have already made up their minds to have an abortion if that test is positive.
This is exactly the scenario at a local pregnancy center in Florida. Earlier in the day I had popped in and met the entire staff, they gave me a tour, and were so grateful for the books. I explained my favorite part of the book was, every day the mother reads a portion of the book as though she is hearing from her child. He or she describes how they are developing. This helps the child become very real, very alive to the mother. This is why we believe these books are perfect for the centers to hand to their abortion-minded clients.
I had a great time meeting the staff and I went on my way. Several hours later, an ecstatic director of this center called and explained the following scenario. She said a young mother and father came into the center that day and tested positive for pregnancy. He wanted the child, but the mother was adamant about having an abortion. As this young, unmarried couple sat in the center’s office at an impasse, the director glanced over and saw the stack of pregnancy journals sitting on the corner of her desk. She remembered my description, picked up the book and said, “Didn’t we calculate you are about 72 days pregnant?” The mother answered “Yes.” This director turned to page 72 and read…”My fingerprints are here. No one else ever had the same fingerprints as mine.”
The girl began to weep, and right there in the office, this mother chose life for her child.
We want to see and hear more of these stories, and so now you have the opportunity to make them happen. Until December 23rd, or 400 books, whichever comes first we are having a PAY IT FORWARD campaign. We have deeply discounted these journals, making it easy for you to have them sent to the pregnancy center of your choice for Christmas, or you could purchase books and ask us to donate them to one of our SaveOne chapters.
We want to get 400 books, potentially saving 400 lives, into the hands of the people where they can make a difference. Will you help us do this? These books also have daily Biblical motivations, a question to journal about to help her make wise decisions during her pregnancy, and continued fetal development inspirations.
