Many women express that they feel alone and often try to avoid the difficult and painful feelings surrounding an abortion decision. For the women who have experienced the trauma of abortion, Alternatives Pregnancy Center desires to offer hope and healing in a supportive group environment through the Biblical-based study, Forgiven and Set Free, where you can work through buried feelings and emotional pain alongside other women who have made the same choice. You are not alone.

Our next Abortion Recovery Group begins January 19th, and we still have a few spots available. This 10-week group will meet Monday evenings in a supportive, confidential setting. If you’re interested in joining, please be sure to sign up by the end of this week.

As we look ahead to this year, we’re dreaming even bigger. We would love for you to o prayerfully consider partnering with us again so we can reach even more people with compassionate care and the hope of the Gospel.

As we enter a new year, we are reminded that God’s redemptive work is generational, it unfolds far beyond a single moment.

Psalm 127 declares that “children are a heritage from the Lord” and likens them to “arrows in the hand of a warrior.” For this reason, we have chosen Psalm 127:3–5 as our theme passage for the year and adopted the donor theme, “The Heritage of His Quiver.”

Children raised in the fear of the Lord are not only blessings to be cherished; they are lives God forms for His purposes, called to protect their families, carry the Gospel, and stand against the schemes of the enemy. This passage is not about fear or force, but formation. God does not merely create life; He shapes every life with divine intent.

Each day, we encounter women facing fear, confusion, and immense pressure surrounding pregnancy. The world speaks loudly, diminishing the value of children and portraying them as burdens. Yet Scripture declares the opposite: every child is worthy of protection, sacrifice, and hope. When life is protected and nurtured in the truth of the Gospel, it becomes a force for good far beyond the moment of crisis.

Your generosity makes this work possible. Through your support, truth is proclaimed: truth about the Gospel, truth about the value of children, and truth about raising the next generation in the fear of the Lord.

For 43 years, Alternatives Pregnancy Center has helped protect this heritage. This year, you will hear stories of children once served by Alternatives, now grown men and women, who are walking in faith and being used by God to push back darkness.

In Scripture, warriors rarely stood alone. They were supported by faithful partners behind the lines. You are those partners. Through your giving, you provide protection, care, discipleship, and formation that lead to lasting gospel impact.
Life is the first victory, but Gospel formation is also the mission. Together, we are not only saving lives; we are shaping generations to carry God’s light forward.

Thank you for standing with us and for helping send many arrows of hope for the Kingdom into the world.

This month’s donor who displays Strength & Dignity:

The Ito family has been a regular donor to Alternatives since 2019. They were first introduced through mutual friends of Heidi, but it wasn’t until they started ministering to abortion-vulnerable women themselves that they really began to notice the impact of this ministry.

For the Ito’s, the most important part of what we do is, in their own words, “the ministering of the Gospel to their patients. Healthcare is available in many places in Sacramento, but loving women who minister the grace and peace of Christ to non-believers is rare in Sacramento.”

They dream that one day Alternatives will outnumber Planned Parenthoods in Sacramento and that more churches will partner with us so more women heading to Planned Parenthood can instead be redirected to Alternatives. For a while now, the Ito’s have had the joy of referring women from Planned Parenthood to Alternatives and staying connected with them throughout their pregnancy journey.

The Ito’s refer patients to us because, as they put it, “Alternatives is on the front lines fighting two good fights: the fight for the Gospel and the fight for the truth about abortion. They are holding the line, especially in California.”

We are so thankful for the Ito’s, for believing in this ministry, for trusting us with the women they encounter, and for faithfully standing with us on the front lines.

This month’s patient who displays Strength & Dignity:

Livier’s journey through motherhood has never been easy. Her first two pregnancies, which brought her two beautiful children who are now 18 and 15, were both high-risk and required c-sections. Not long after, she endured the heartbreak of a miscarriage at 8.5 weeks. Hoping for a second opinion before moving forward with a D&C, she went to Planned Parenthood but was told they couldn’t help her. That search for answers is what first led her to Alternatives.

At first glance, it seemed like a typical clinic, but Livier recalls that the moment she walked through the doors, she felt something different: warmth, compassion, and a family-like environment. When the staff offered to pray with her, she said it was exactly what her heart needed, and with Oksana as her nurse, her miscarriage was sadly confirmed.

After facing such difficult pregnancies and a heartbreaking loss, Livier decided she was done having children. But to her surprise, she found herself pregnant again, and then again. Both times, she immediately returned to Alternatives, confident this was the place where she and her babies would receive the very best care. Today, with two little girls, ages three and one, alongside her two older children, Livier looks back with gratitude, knowing that choosing life was the only option. She believes every unborn baby has a right to live and now encourages other women to choose life as well. She often refers friends and family to Alternatives so they can experience the same care and support she did.

Her words to women facing an unplanned pregnancy are heartfelt: even in the darkest moments, you are never alone; there is always someone ready to help, so don’t give up. Clothed in strength and dignity, Livier honored the lives growing inside her and surrendered her fears to the Lord, trusting Him to provide every step of the way.

This month’s woman of the Bible who displays Strength & Dignity:

And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” Luke 1:41-45

Elizabeth’s reverence and humility before the Lord clothed her with strength and dignity. As a righteous woman who walked blamelessly in God’s commands, she lived a life of quiet faithfulness, trusting in His timing and acknowledging His goodness. When she became pregnant with John at an old age, Elizabeth’s heart overflowed with gratitude, recognizing this blessing as a gift from God. Her deep humility and joyful praise were evident when she recognized the significance of Mary’s pregnancy and praised God for fulfilling His promises. Elizabeth’s life is a powerful example of how a heart that honors God can be filled with strength, joy, and wisdom, and how embracing His plan can lead to a life of profound purpose. May we, like Elizabeth, humbly rejoice in God’s work and remain steadfast in faith, trusting in His perfect timing.

Yesterday, our team was invited to speak at Destiny Christian Academy’s high school chapel! We shared about the life-changing work happening at our clinic, told a few patient stories, and had a staff member share how God has used her own abortion story to help her serve women with compassion as they face unplanned pregnancies. We also let the students know about our SOHL Celebration Conference happening on Jan. 17th!

We love getting to share with students about the value of every human life and the heart behind Alternatives’ pro-gospel, pro-life mission.

Thank you Destiny for having us! It’s always such a blessing to engage with your students.

Last week, our nurse and patient advocate, Yvette, served a patient who, just a few days prior, found out she was pregnant. She came to our clinic for an ultrasound and come to find out she was already 35 weeks along!🤯 As you can probably imagine, it was a huge shock and a very emotional moment, but our team was able to support her, and she left feeling encouraged and cared for.

With so little time to prepare for her baby’s arrival, she is in urgent need of some essential items, her biggest need being a baby stroller.

If you’d like to help bless this mama-to-be, please visit our Amazon Wishlist by visiting alternativespc.org/amazonwishlist. Any extra strollers donated will be gifted to other women we serve who are in similar situations.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion toward women navigating unplanned pregnancies. Your support truly makes a difference.🩷
