Why In Our Midst Ministries Was Established

Although the evangelical Church has worked diligently over the past three decades to save the lives of the unborn, we have yet to establish ourselves as a safe place for those that have been hurt by abortion to find hope and healing in Jesus Christ. Generally speaking, we have yet to compassionately embrace the men and women - the mothers, fathers, family members, friends, and medical personnel - whose lives have been devastated by abortion. Abortion, as with other issues in the past, is still "in the closet" where the Church is concerned.

Sadly, most pastors and ministry leaders are unaware of how abortion affects the lives of those that have survived it and how many of them are filling our pews on Sunday morning, suffering in silence under a shroud of guilt and shame. Many pastors and leaders see the high divorce rate, the troubled marriages, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, pornography addiction and other self-destructive behaviors plaguing their congregants, but few have recognized the deeper issue that often lies at the root of these problems: the life-altering wound left in the wake of an unresolved abortion experience.

We at In Our Midst Ministries, Inc. are dedicated to bringing this awareness to the Church and equipping her to minister to the needs of those in our midst that carry the wounds created by abortion. To that end we are available for onsite trainings for church and ministry leaders and others interested in being Christ to these people. We are also available for ongoing consultations pertaining to abortion recovery programs and practices. Please contact us for more information about how we can serve you.

Secret Sin:
When God's People Choose Abortion

Secret Sin: When God's People Choose Abortion

Secret Sin: When God's People Choose Abortion was written because abortion is one of the last great secret sins that remains in the closet. And because the Church hasn't been aware of the magnitude of this secret sin or how it affects those it touches, the Church has done little or nothing to help these people suffering silently in their midst to find healing in Christ. This book was written to pull back the curtain giving those within the Church an inside look into the world of the post-abortive Christian with the intent of spurring them on to begin reaching out to these hurting people with the compassion of Christ.

Struggling with How to Bridge the Gap with the Churches in Your city? You've made phone calls. You've sent out flyers. You've held banquets, organized fundraisers, set appointments, and recited statistics. You've prayed and promoted and pleaded and still your church seems uninterested in your pregnancy center or abortion recovery ministry. What is wrong here? With all our efforts to get the church involved, why are they not listening? Why do they seem unconcerned? Find out more.

My mother was an unwed, crippled teenager when I was born. Thank goodness abortion options were not readily available or I might not be here today. As a mentor to thousands of ladies throughout the world, and in my Daughters of Zion Leadership Mentoring classes, I have discovered the devastation of the effects of abortion. People hide the truth and suffer the emotional, physical and spiritual consequences of this situation. In Our Midst Ministries, Inc. helps meet the needs of these ladies (and gentlemen) who have nowhere else to turn for strength in rebuilding their broken lives. It is not only a pleasure to speak on behalf of In Our Midst Ministries, Inc. but it is an obligation to help heal the wounds and broken hearts of emotionally dying souls.

On any given Sunday, there is a man or woman sitting in the pew of a church with a secre...a secret that is killing them; the secret pain of an abortion. In Our Midst Ministries provides a way for your church to reach out with the love of Christ to help the hurting live the abundant life that God has promised. Lives are changed and hope is restored through this amazing ministry.

"When I see this ministry in action 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 is a reality, "Blessed be God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." Grace in action, it is an honor to support this awesome ministry!"

Thank you so very much investing yourself in educating others! Your class was incredible.
Meredith M, (Campus Crusade for Christ staff):
Thank you so much for doing the class. It really changed my perspective on abortion and it was very eye-opening. It helps to have some resources to turn to if I have girls who need them in the future. I really liked the class and I appreciate your heart to help people so much. This is something the WHOLE CHURCH needs to hear.
