Dear Friends,

Doctors told Monique* that she could not possibly have her child—she would be putting her own life, and the life of her child, at risk if she did not abort. Each place she searched for help, she was led to the same answer: “abort your child.” God, however, led Monique to the Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC) of Metro Richmond, where she was met with compassionate care and vital resources. We walked alongside Monique as she wrestled with the decision before her. In the end, Monique gave birth to a beautiful child and is experiencing unspeakable joy this Christmas season.

Monique is one of 622 of our clients who decided to parent this year. We receive no state or federal funding to care for women like Monique; we operate from the gifts of our charitable investors.

Please, help us serve more women like Monique by investing in the PRC with a year-end gift—complete our online donation form and make a tax-free contribution today. Together we will offer a safe-haven with compassionate care, practical assistance, and life-affirming information. Thank you for your support of the PRC!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends,

As we celebrate the gift of life in Christ, I am reminded of the many challenges that Joseph and Mary faced in bringing our Savior Jesus into the world. God raised a heavenly host, the Shepherds and Wise men to stand with them. May God fill your heart with joy during this CHRISTmas season.

I am so grateful to the many who have served with the Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC) of Metro Richmond this year: giving of your time, gifts, and talents. Together, we have witnessed the body of Christ coming together cross-denominationally and cross-culturally to stand compassionately for life. From January through October 2011, the number of clients we serve continued to grow:

• We had 2,192 client visits and administered 831 pregnancy tests.
• Of the 648 clients with positive pregnancy tests, 570 decided to carry to birth.
• We had 899 visits to our parenting classes, mom support groups, or Bible studies.
• 78 males visited our center as clients (we saw 55 males total in 2010).

Please take a moment to view our 2011 Update (PDF). We have much to rejoice in as we review the success of the work God has done in and through us thus far this year!

As I rejoice, I am also writing to you with a broken heart. Every day I hear a new client story that makes me even more thankful for the mission of the PRC. I witness women who face
