What an incredible journey it has been to witness the boundless goodness and provision of God at our St. Augustine center!
Since our grand opening on May 6th, we have been on a thrilling and blessed path of growth, serving more clients than ever before at a St. Augustine pregnancy center. In fact, July marked a historic milestone as the busiest month for a local pregnancy center since 2008! We joyfully welcomed 22 new pregnancy clients, 7 male clients, and conducted numerous Earn While You Learn appointments.
Our hearts have been deeply touched by the stories of women who come to us, often in desperate situations, seeking abortion. Many express an urgent need to proceed, sometimes even before confirming their pregnancy. Yet, through the compassionate care of our dedicated team, the transformative power of options, education, and the miracle of ultrasound, God is changing lives!
One particularly inspiring story is that of our client, *Marcy. During a telehealth visit with one of our caring nurses, Marcy opened up about her worries: not having enough resources for another child, complications from a previous pregnancy, and her concerns about being an older mom.
Initially leaning towards abortion, Marcy’s perspective shifted dramatically when she visited our center for her pregnancy test and ultrasound. As she gazed at her seven-week-old baby on our large ultrasound screen, we anticipated her heart to move, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. However, within a few moments there was a change. We are certain God was present, because she heard the precious heartbeat, and suddenly her heart was profoundly moved.
With determination, Marcy declared: “I’ve made up my mind!”
Hearing the melodious sound of life in her unborn baby’s heartbeat opened Marcy’s own heart to choose life and embrace motherhood!
We are so enthusiastic and optimistic that this is just the beginning of celebrating these miraculous transformations and the lives (born and not yet born) we are privileged to touch.

Pastor Juan Sanchez, Church on the Rock
When my mom became pregnant with me, my dad in his desperation tried to talk my mom into having an abortion. Praise God, my mom knew that God had a different plan in mind, and she chose life!…
