Coastline End of Year Giving Merry Christmas
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

Dear Friends and Family,

As this year comes to a close, we want to thank each and every one of our loving supporters. Some gave of their finances and others gave their time in volunteering. Still others lifted up prayer support on our behalf, and prayed for individuals who came to us for our services. It is through your selfless giving that we are able to offer the love of Christ to those who are making crucial decisions about life.

Lisa’s Story

At 39 years of age, Lisa an attorney, walked through our doors. She discovered that she was pregnant and it wasn’t within the timeline her and her husband had planned. Her doctor’s appointment revealed not one baby, but TWINS! “With this unexpected twist, our well laid plans crumbled. My plan to continue working was shattered because the cost of day care for two, plus care for our oldest wasn’t sustainable. Increased expenses and less money was starting to take it’s toll. I found Abagail’s Place, a ministry of Coastline Women’s Center out of desperation.

When I met with Darlene, a volunteer counselor she asked me if I had accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I didn’t know the answer and I told Darlene that I had a ton of questions that needed to be answered before I could cross that bridge. Surely enough, she was willing to meet with me each week to discuss my questions open and honestly without any judgment. I read many books, did research, reviewed scientific theories, and tried my best for weeks to prove God did not exist. I wanted to know the answer. I needed to know the answer.

Darlene gifted me with a book called the “The Case for Christ” I tried to use the theory of evolution to disprove the Bible. But then, Jesus. I reviewed the history of Jesus, the proof that Jesus really lived, the history and accuracy of the Bible, archeology, and more. Darlene graciously went down every theological rabbit hole I could think of and stood firm on scripture. Finally, after weeks of exhaustion in trying to disprove His existence, I took a hard look at the actual evidence for Jesus and had no choice but to take a leap of faith and surrender.

Throughout my walk, my husband walked beside me. We discussed the evidence and had talks about whether He existed. We started to go to church together with our children. Sure enough, shortly after I accepted Jesus, my seven year-old accepted Jesus at children’s church. That same day, my husband accepted Jesus as well. We were all baptized together on the same day this past summer and we are committed to raising the twins in the faith. We’re saved because God had plans to bring us to Him through the ministry of Coastline Women’s Center. We’re saved because God knew blessing us with twins would change the direction in our lives. Now our lives are truly changed! Our capacity to love others has grown tremendously. My anxiety has decreased now that I know God is truly with us and will provide! Now, we live for God and His will. We’re excited to see what God has in store for our lives as we move forward, not our well laid plans, but with Him and His plans! I am forever grateful for this life changing ministry!”

Lisa’s entire family experienced hope through the ministry of Coastline Women’s Center and the gift of eternal life!
The services we provide such as Abagail’s Place truly change the eternal destination of one’s life and impacts generations. Will you help us continue this mission? This year our overflow offering will be going towards renovation
and opening an additional location of Abagail’s Place beside of our clinic in MB. This will ultimately save more lives as
we will have the ability to walk our patients right over so they can SEE the bountiful resources you help provide! It will also expand our resources across the county in a larger way. Please prayerful consider what your gift will be. I thank you in advance for helping save and change lives!

 

Merry Christmas!

May your heart be full as you celebrate our Risen King, Jesus! and visit with the ones you love.
– Jeannie Smith, Founder/President of Coastline Women’s Center
