Dear Friends,
With just a few weeks left of 2019, I am pleased to announce Amnion’s theme for 2020: SPREAD HOPE.
Peter writes, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5).
The hope that Peter writes about is not wishful thinking, it’s a living hope grounded in the sure promises of God. This is the hope we proclaim to the women and men who come to Amnion.
Some time ago, we finished counseling a post-abortion client who was motivated to seek help after hearing a testimony at one of our banquets. She stated: “The ministry at Amnion encouraged me by keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus and guiding me to deep places in Scripture that would prove to fill me with truth and hope. And so I walk forward, unashamed of the gospel, unafraid of the world’s response. Amnion has been a blessing to me, and my life will forever be changed because of their ministry. God bless Lynn and Amnion for their willingness to love others by offering God’s truth, hope, and mercy through His Word.”
I love how Hebrews describes it, “This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls” (Hebrews 6:19). This is why Amnion exists: to offer the hope of Jesus Christ to those impacted by an unplanned pregnancy.
Toward this end, would you consider giving a special gift at this time to help us finish the year strong? Our year-end campaign goal is $80,000, and we’ve already received $25,000 through some faithful donors. Your financial gift will help us continue to SPREAD HOPE to those who desperately need it.
Thank you for your consideration and ongoing support of Amnion. May we all be people who SPREAD HOPE to everyone we encounter!
Because He live,
Mark Opseth
Executive Director
