Meet Jamie

Jamie describes a stable upbringing, but life for her changed after she got involved in an unhealthy adult relationship. She turned away from her parents and lived in very challenging circumstances with her boyfriend and his family. Jamie shares the hardships and verbal abuse she suffered, including the pressure to have an abortion by her partner. Jamie’s parents helped her and shortly afterwards, Jamie received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She is thankful for God’s forgiveness and cares that other women who had abortions know that God offers them forgiveness too.

Meet Monica

Monica shares that she experienced neglect and a lack of love in her childhood. Monica grew up with low self-esteem, and she sought love through sexual relationships. Monica did not grow up knowing the Bible, and found it hard to understand. Monica joined the Catholic church as an adult. Despite regular attendance at church she still felt there was something missing. Monica was invited to a Bible-preaching church where she heard the gospel for the first time. Monica trusted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. Monica knows that God has forgiven her for her past choices, including an abortion she had as a young woman. Monica shares she would have liked to get married and have a family, but she is content and happy serving in the National Guard. She trusts in God’s plan for her life.

Meet Laura

Laura describes her long battle with self-worth, which began in her childhood and resulted from over-hearing negative comments from her parents. She also shares she had an abortion as a teenager, and how that day traumatized her and she felt guilt and shame. Laura was divorced twice and struggled with the pressures of parenting her daughters. Laura describes leaving everything and riding away on her motorcycle. She stayed with a friend who invited her to church. There she heard the gospel and believed she could be forgiven and washed clean. She accepted Christ that day. Laura talks about how Christ has healed her pain and mended her relationships with her daughters. She is now married to her friend and she has had the opportunity to help young women who have experienced the same things as she did.

Meet Linda

Linda shares how she grew up knowing about God, but did not have a personal relationship with Him. She based her relationship with God on the good things she did. She shares that she was raped as a young woman, which left her feeling confused about God and afraid of Him. God drew Linda to Himself, and showed her that the true foundation of a personal relationship with Him is through faith alone in Jesus. Linda talks about the work she’s involved in, running a pro-life women’s center. Linda now helps other women learn about God, and educates them about the realities of abortion.

Meet Lindsey

Lindsey describes how she invited Jesus into her life at a young age. She shares that she got pregnant with her boyfriend and chose abortion because of fear. Lindsey describes the mental turmoil; guilt and secrecy that heavily impacted her life. God used Lindsey’s husband and a Bible study, to show her His love and the forgiveness that He provides. She also learned how self-forgiveness is a lie, as it’s God alone who has the authority to forgive. Lindsey is now set free from her past and able to enjoy her relationships with her husband, children, and most importantly, God.
