"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:3-6

CPC's Dessert Extravaganza

My husband and I were gladly accepted the invitation to host a table at Crisis Pregnancy Center's recent fundraiser. This year marked the 7th year of their Dessert Extravaganza, an event that offers tasty desserts, inspiring speakers, fellowship and the opportunity to help provide financial support for CPC's mission. It was a wonderful evening of friendship, prayer, giving (and did I mention, cheesecake?!)I was blessed to spend the evening surrounded by friends and others from the community who proudly stand behind CPC and the lifesaving work they are doing.

And that work is pretty astounding, statistically speaking. As of October 21 CPC has, so far this year:

served an average 109 clients per month (including 127 teens, 13 of whom were under the age of 14)
spent 1,158 hours with clients
provided 314 positive pregnancy tests provided $40,000 worth of ultrasounds
prayed with 342 client, and presented the gospel to 245 of them, leading 19 of them to a salvation through Jesus Christ
helped lead 93 mothers choose life for their babies

Praise God for the work He's doing and the lives that are being saved through CPC. May He bless all those who come through their doors, the clients, those who volunteer their time, lend their financial support and cover them in prayer.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
