For a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, one appointment can open the door to practical support, renewed hope, and the life-changing message of the gospel.

Dan Steiner, Founder and President of PreBorn!, joined the show today to explain how the ministry partners with pregnancy clinics across the country to serve women in crisis, protect unborn children, and introduce families to the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Steiner’s involvement in the pregnancy center movement began during his personal time with the Lord. As he prayed about how his life could reflect gratitude for what Christ had done for him, he became increasingly burdened by abortion and the lives affected by it.

That conviction eventually led him to serve at a pregnancy center in the Midwest and later establish PreBorn!.

From the beginning, Steiner says the ministry has been grounded in a simple conviction: Christ must remain at the center. Women facing unplanned pregnancies often need medical services, practical resources, and compassionate guidance. But their deepest need, like ours, is the hope and restoration found in Jesus.

Today, PreBorn! works with nearly 300 pregnancy clinics, particularly in cities with high abortion rates. The ministry helps establish clinics, provides ultrasound equipment, covers the cost of ultrasound appointments, trains leaders, supports medical personnel, and connects women searching online for abortion information with nearby pregnancy clinics.

Ultrasound technology is central to PreBorn!’s work because it allows a mother to see her child, often for the first time.

According to PreBorn!, women who receive an ultrasound are significantly more likely to continue their pregnancies. The image on the screen can transform an abstract and frightening situation into a deeply personal encounter.

Steiner shared the story of a pregnant 13-year-old who arrived at one of the ministry’s partner clinics intending to have an abortion. She believed she was too young to become a mother and had not told her own mother about the pregnancy.

But when she saw her child on the ultrasound screen, she began to weep. She chose life, and an adoption plan was later arranged for her baby.

The ultrasound did not remove every difficulty she faced. It did, however, give her the opportunity to better understand the life developing inside her and to consider a different path.

Choosing life is often only the beginning of a woman’s journey. Many women considering abortion are confronting financial pressure, unstable relationships, housing challenges, or uncertainty about how they will care for a child.

That is why PreBorn’s partner clinics seek to provide more than a single appointment. Depending on the clinic and the woman’s needs, support may include maternity clothing, diapers, cribs, car seats, parenting resources, counseling, and ongoing care for several years.

This compassionate approach recognizes that caring for an unborn child also means caring for the mother.

Christians should never treat a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy as a political symbol or a problem to be solved. She is a person made in the image of God who deserves patience, dignity, truth, and practical help.

“Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18).

PreBorn! describes its mission as saving lives for both earth and eternity. Protecting unborn children is an essential part of its work, but the ministry also wants every woman and family it serves to hear the gospel.

Romans 1:16 i

When you think back on your spiritual journey and how it was that you came to Christ, most likely there was at least one human being involved in the process. Aren’t you thankful for that person? Well, we each have the opportunity to be “that person” for someone else. It’s God’s plan for disseminating the Good News. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as part of his series called Refresh, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how refreshing it is when we follow through with our evangelism privilege and responsibility.
