At Evangel Hospital for years women have come asking for an abortion. Our physicians and pastors had little to offer except for a brief counseling session and little material support.
At the same time we have seen many couples who have been unable to have children plead with us for a child to raise as their own.

In November 2004 we held the inaugural Crisis Pregnancy Center meeting and 70 Nigerians came to learn about how to be involved in rescuing babies from the abortion industry in Nigeria. We then formed a Planning Committee for “Pro-Life Evangel” and held a counselor training workshop in February 2005. Our goal is to help women with unwanted pregnancies or those who have had an abortion. A sister center in Texas donated a sonogram unit to our ministry since 85% of women who intend to have an abortion change their mind after seeing a sonogram image of their baby. We are also partnering with Gidan Bege to provide housing and counseling for needy mothers.

Our services will include free pregnancy testing for women in crisis, counseling and pastoral care, child-birth classes and doula services during labor and delivery, adoption services, support of the new mother and baby with supplies and clothes, housing for needy mothers and post-abortion counseling.

Please pray along with us for this exciting ministry to help desperate women and rescue unwanted babies in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
