Why I Volunteer for a Pro-Life Pregnancy Center
Life.
Life is a gift given to us by God (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 8:4-5). It is not an option, opportunity, or a choice to accept or reject. Life is a precious thing each of us has been given – both by being allowed to live, and to be a part of the creation process. Sadly, for decades now, life has become a “Choice” in our nation. We no longer value it as a gift from God, but see it nothing more than a choice of humankind.
I am well aware the there are very unfortunate situations where pregnancy occurs. I have had someone of the closest people in my life find themselves in the midst of an unintended pregnancy – and culture told them that they have a choice. Some have chosen to choose to keep the life God granted them, while others have chosen to discard of it. Even when a person makes a poor choice of aborting a child, God has grace. However, I am a firm believer that those of us that claim Christ must do all that we can to uphold and preserve the precious life that God grants us.
Since the fall of 2011 I have been volunteering for Alternatives Pregnancy Center. Even though my time as a pastor is under high demands, I’ve made this volunteering opportunity a priority. By serving with this ministry I am able to:
- Live out my biblical conviction for preserving the life of the unborn child by helping mother’s choose life.
- I am able to be see lives transformed as they hear the truth about how precious life is to God as apposed to the disposable connotations culture has put on American fetuses today.
- I am able to live out the Gospel of Christ by helping others in Crisis and not just preach to them.
- I am able to see God work on my life and give me great compassion for people in all situations facing the unexpected hardships of life.
My role with Alternatives Pregnancy Center has to been to train drivers for a mobile testing clinic. While there are not many places a man can service in a pro-life pregnancy center, there are enough opportunities to go around! Here is a video I shot explaining my role and how serving with APC has impacted me. I encourage you to get involved with APC or your local pregnancy center.
