April 2021 Update from Love the Nations in Puerto Rico
2021 Update!
Hey guys,
As many of you guys may know, it has been a crazy 1st quarter of the year for us personally.
Personal Update:
Daisys dad: Daisys dad Jose passed on March 18th. February and March are a blur to us as we were almost constantly running back and forth to help with his care. We are super thankful for the time we have had with him in the last 5 years and that our kids got to know their grandpa here in Puerto Rico.
Home situation/Adoption: We are in the process of Adopting Channeliz, which has been an almost 2 year process… Also, at the same time, we are purchasing our home, no longer renting, in a firm commitment to the work and to saving the unborn in Puerto Rico. The adoption and our first home purchase should be finished in June, Lord Willing!
Ministry update:
While all the above craziness has been going on we have seen some awesome things happening in ministry,
Cree: Our Staff has held 2 Diaper drives and 2 volunteer trainings & we have also seen 14 moms choose life in 2021 PRAISE GOD!.
Sidewalk Advocates: THERE ARE NOW ONLY 5 ABORTION CLINICS IN PUERTO RICO! We just found out that another clinic shut down in Bayamon! We are so excited! The Sidewalk advocates have only grown during the pandemic! The advocates are now in front of the abortion clinic near our center 3 days a week! They have also seen countless drive offs, turn aways, and 3 moms this year decide not to abort! Pray as we expand our presence to other abortion facilities in 2021!
Post Abortion Healing: We had 4 girls walk through post abortion healing over the last 7 weeks. The retreat concluded this past Sunday with all 4 moms receiving the forgiveness only Christ can give. The best part of this last 6-week healing study was that it was wholly led by healed women who have taken ownership of the ministry! Another Post abortion healing study began the next week!
Toda la Vida: We have produced 4 videos in 2021 and had 2 training events at churches.
Cree West: We are beginning the process of opening a center in the west, in Mayaguez. Pray as we seek out the right plan/location/staff for this new life saving center.
