About the Ministries

Freedom to Grieve Your Unborn Parents who lose their children to abortion feel forbidden grief, because society says it is legal. They struggle with denial, anger and depression. God gives Truth. Zoom Bible studies with wise and compassionate facilitators show there is freedom to grieve their unborn and find peace & forgiveness. They are given freedom to honor their unborn children and name them. Free nameplates are available to place on a memorial wall at Northern Michigan Memorial Garden in Burt Lake, Michigan. For more information, please visit: anevenplace.com.

Embrace Grace provides support and community through local churches for single and pregnant young women and their families. For more information please visit EmbraceGrace.com.

Love Life & House of Refuge Love Life's mission is to unite and mobilize the church to create a culture of love and life that will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis. We are motivated by the Great Commandment, guided by the Great Commission, and united in the spirit of John 17—to reach the “least of these” at the mission field of abortion. In addition to hosting monthly prayer walks, our House of Refuge initiative equips pastors and churches to PREVENT abortions from happening within their congregations, PROVIDE healing for those affected by previous abortions, and PROTECT the unborn and vulnerable in their communities. Visit LoveLife.org & LoveLife.org/House-of-Refuge for more information.

Cradle of Hope Ministry was birthed in 2010 through the Joy Fellowship Food Pantry to help families and single parents with babies and toddlers in need daily essentials, such as diapers, wipes, formula, clothes, cribs, strollers, cart seats, and more. Thanks strictly to the generosity of the community and the grace of God (no grants or state/federal funding), we have not turned away one person or family in 16 years! God has and is caring for His little lambs by the fulfillment of His word—″Then Jesus called for the children and said to His disciples, ′Let the children come unto me. Don't stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these!′″ Luke 18:16 For more information, visit the Cradle of Hope Facebook page. Contacts: Susan Warner
