President's corner - March 2019

Earlier this week PDHC held our Annual Meeting and released our 2018 Annual Report. Our whole team was uplifted and unified to an even greater measure after reviewing our 2018 impact and goals for 2019.
 
Review our report here.
 
We are praising God that we were able to serve more people and glad to share our results with you! The stories behind the numbers go so much deeper. There is real-life change thanks to your partnership with PDHC.  Here are four highlights from our Annual Meeting:
 

• 9,138 middle and high school students were taught by PDHC’s education program last year. These were mostly in public schools. Students often share their pain and regret over past relationships with our teachers. After hearing our presentation and learning the risks, they express gratitude and a new commitment to saving sex for marriage.       

 

• Our Connections Manager, Rachel Myers, ensured that over 26,000 calls, texts and online chats were answered in 2018. This included a message that said a mother reached out to PDHC years ago for help with an unplanned pregnancy.  The woman sending the message just celebrated her 28th birthday thanks to the care and support her mom received at PDHC

 

• Nurses performed over 1,600 ultrasounds and talked about the power of ultrasounds to change the minds of those who are considering abortion. Women are in awe seeing their babies’ heartbeats and watching them move around on the screen.  One nurse shared, “I’m able to hand a new mom a bag of diapers and wipes or help a pregnant mom pick out some maternity outfits and just encourage her and be a support in that moment. In doing these small things, we are all working together to truly empower these women to make healthy choices, just like our mission statement says.”

 

• 181 women and men received Abortion Recovery (aR) care.  “We have witnessed Him revealing himself to women who did not know him, who turned away from him or didn’t realize he wants to continue to restore them!” reported our aR Manager.

 
All Glory to God because we know this is only possible through Him and the way He draws his people together in this great mission. Thank you for following His call to give, pray and serve the women and families who come to PDHC for help.
​
God bless you. It is an honor to serve with you.
