Abortion's Grip...Christ's Release

"For many people who experience an abortion, their initial response is
relief. The "storm" - the crisis - has passed. It was horrible, but it's over
now. They believe they can simply pick up the pieces and go on with
their lives. The trouble is, there are no inspectors to assess the structural
damage this storm has caused in their heart, soul, and spirit. Unlike my
sister's house (damaged by a passing tornado), these people are left with
undetected internal damage that left untended, results in a crumbling affect.
They enter into a state of denial, unaware of the reasons for many of the
painful (Post-Abortion Stress) issues that begin to wreak havoc in their lives."

[The text above is an excerpt from Secret Sin: When God's People Choose Abortion; Chapter 3, page 31]

The grip of abortion's aftermath is incredibly strong...and if left untended, it only tightens over time. But there is hope! By Christ's grace & love, the grip can be loosened and ultimately released.

If we truly desire to be the hands of Christ in the church, why wouldn't we extend a loving hand or a compassionate shoulder to the wounded in our midst? God could use each of us for His Glory as we help 'release the oppressed'---in what simple ways can we do that today?

We at In Our Midst Ministries are here to help churches and other pro-life ministries gain an understanding of the abortion-wounded person as well as to develop a ministry standard for these hurting people.
We will bring our one-day training to you. Contact Therese at tboschman.iom(at sign)gmail.com for more information.
