The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith

As mothers I believe we have a strong desire to care for other women and for children, including the unborn. Often our vision for this is within the borders of our own communities. Melissa Heiland, has expanded my own view of pregnancy ministry and I know you will be blessed by our conversation. Her ministry, Beautiful Feet International works around the world to help mothers through their pregnancies and with their babies. Listen to what God is doing globally in pregnancy ministry.

The Lord spoke to Micah in a time of extreme loss, reminding her that He is still ruling and reigning. Though the loss of her husband at 43 years old was tragic, Micah and her children were cared for by the body of Christ. Furthermore she was anchored in her knowledge of who she was, WHOSE she was, a daughter of the King!

Very early on in Crystal's life she knew that she was called to break the cycle in her family. After years of childhood trauma and running from God and His plan for her, she surrendered. Her journey of faith has continued in adulthood through ministry and heartache as she again learned to forgive, surrender, and walk forward trusting God. Crystal's testimony is real and vulnerable. I know that you will be encouraged by her story.

Motherhood is hard for everyone. But imagine being homeless, single, caught in an abusive relationship, and struggling to find work. Suzanne has started a ministry that reaches out to women in those situations. The heart of the ministry is not only pro-life, it is pro-mom. Foundation House Ministries walks with women through this very difficult season of life and helps them move away from the poverty mindset and into a lifestyle of sustainable stability.

A simple sentence changed her life. "Your son has autism."  You will love LaCinda's contagious joy as she shares how God grew her faith as she parented a son with autism. She loves Jesus and reminds us that each child is created by God, in His image for a special purpose.
