I Bring Near My Righteousness
According to a July 2021 fact sheet published by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, there are approximately 3,000 pregnancy centers and mobile units located throughout the United States that provide essential and professional care to vulnerable pregnant, parenting, and abortion recovery clients.
To give you an idea of how common that makes pregnancy center ministry locations in a community – there are about 2,000 Target stores and about 4,600 Walmarts in the US. So, PRC location numbers are right up there with the frequency of those store locations.
We know that God positions pregnancy center ministries as a beautifully normal occurrence in communities across our nation. He says in Isaiah 46:13, “I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off…”
God has strategically located pregnancy centers in communities to provide wholesome, critical help that people genuinely need when faced with a crisis pregnancy, struggling with parenting small children, or recovering from an abortion. They offer free pregnancy tests and priceless ultrasounds, valuable parenting education and much-needed baby care essentials, and comforting support and genuine healing through post-abortion Bible studies. They care for people spiritually and connect them to the Word of God and the local church.
It’s clear that God brings Himself near to families through local pregnancy center ministries. His ways are amazing and His grace abounds. If you’ve never visited one, consider reaching out to your local pregnancy center sometime for a tour. Speaking for Align, we’d love to show you around and help you see ways God brings Himself near to the people He has made.
