From the Executive Director
I love this exchange in the first chapter of John, “Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’ Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see’” (John 1:45-46).
Philip not only told Nathanael about Jesus, he brought him to the Master. COME AND SEE is a wonderful invitation and it is our theme for 2021.
- To the women and men facing unplanned pregnancies, COME AND SEE all the free and confidential services Amnion has to offer.
- To the potential donor who is looking for ways to invest in Kingdom work, COME AND SEE how the Lord is using Amnion Pregnancy Center to provide hope and help.
- To the pastor who has a heart for the lost, COME AND SEE how Amnion is reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- To our faithful partners, COME AND SEE how your financial gifts are being used to offer the hope of Jesus Christ to those impacted by an unplanned pregnancy.
“COME AND SEE the wonders of God” (Psalm 66:5).
You have an open invitation to tour the center and learn more about Amnion. Tours take place on Tuesdays between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. COME AND SEE our facilities and meet some of the staff. Please call Michele at 952-898-4350 to set up a specific time.
Would you consider giving a special donation before the end of the year? Our year-end goal is $80,000. Your financial support makes it possible to accomplish the mission God has put before us. We cannot do what we do without your support!
Grace and peace,
Mark Opseth
Executive Director
P.S. Your special year-end donation will help us care for more women and men and their babies. Thank you for your partnership!
From the Client Services Director
She was 16, in denial, paralyzed by fear that she might have to tell her parents.
She was 27, a graduate student, and determined to distance her heart from the new life inside her.
She was an overwhelmed mom of 3, practical minded, and didn’t want to think too hard about her situation.
Each of these describes a woman, made in God’s image, facing her unplanned pregnancy.
What do we say….do…to help her reject Satan’s lies and to reach her mother’s heart?
Amnion has been answering that question for 30 years.
As we begin year 31, I am enthusiastic and hopeful! Why?
COVID has brought our clients’ mortality and fears out in the open which give ready-made invitations to share the hope of Christ with those who walk through our doors!
Virtual visits are all the rage! This in-demand option will be added to our in-person follow up/education appointments to increase relationship touch-points with clients.
Our Client Advocate staff is top of the line! We know people, we know God’s truth, we know Spanish (ok, only one of us does…but she does great!!), we know how to meet hurting, scared people with truth and compassion. And we know God changes hearts. (Will you pray for us?)
We are adding a male Fatherhood Advocate to our team (Lord-willing)! This is a strategic move to invest in our dads, giving prominence to this ministry and bolstering opportunity to equip our fathers.
God is faithful, powerful, and on the move to accomplish His purposes, no matter WHAT craziness is going on around us.
Thank you for joining arms with us to engage the enemy in the battle for Life.
Come and see what God is doing!
