... Hope for Life Pregnancy Care Center...


... did you know that in Canada there is no limit as to when a pregnant woman can have an abortion?
we are the only nation in the Western world that does not have any legislation governing abortion,
this means that 

if a woman can find a doctor willing to perform the abortion no matter how far along she is there is no law that can stop them,

 no one to protect the unborn child at any time!


some more information regarding Abortion:
70% of abortions being performed are on those who identify themselves as “Protestant or Catholic” of that 70%, 18% consider themselves “born-again or evangelical Christians”
in the year 2005 
there were 447,485 pregnancies reported in Canada, 

out of that number 96, 815 ended in abortion, that’s 22%

between 1996 and 2006
in Ontario: 54% of teen pregnancies ended in abortion
in Halton:  69% of teen pregnancies ended in abortion

a lot of women and young girls every year are finding themselves facing an unplanned pregnancy  and consequently have to make a difficult decision that will have life-long consequences. this can be very overwhelming 
and that is why we would like to be there to help.

help women by offering options counselling to understand what the
3 options of dealing with a crisis pregnancy are....
sharing information about procedures and what health and emotional risks are involved with an abortion,
supporting them in their decision to carry and parent the baby through mentoring programs and practical support,
connecting those that decide to give their baby up for adoption to an adoption agency and 
offering counselling to the birth mom, walking along side her through this difficult time in her life.


we also will be offering post abortion counselling...

fact is : 18 % of all abortions performed each year are performed on evangelical christian women.
in every church there are women that had an abortion at some point in their life,
many feeling too guilty to tell anyone about it. my heart is breaking for all of them, my prayer is that they will come forward and receive the healing and forgiveness the Lord has for them, finally being able to leave their heavy burden at the feet of Jesus...

as we are working towards opening our doors to the women in our community we are asking everyone to search their hearts how they could be involved with this ministry:


you could support our work through prayer, volunteering at the center, financial support, 

donations specific to the needs of pregnant women and newborn babies... 
because let's face it:

Christ came to this world to save the lost
care for the needy
look after the fatherless
we are called to be His hands and feet
will you join with us in making this calling a reality by "Together making the Invisible Christ Visible to the Women in our Community?"
