providing emotional, practical and spiritual support for single,
young women and their families who find themselves in an unintended
pregnancy. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower churches
across the nation to be a safe and non-judging place for the girls
to run to when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last
place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt. We provide
curriculum and resources for the church to implement our programs
and become a -Pro-Love -church. If the church, the Body of Christ,
will join together to support these girls who choose life, young
moms will be more open to not aborting their babies. Whether they
keep their baby or choose adoption, Embrace Grace is a support
system for them as they begin their journey of being a young mother
or blessing another family with their baby. Emotionally and
spiritually healthy mommies parent emotionally and spiritually
healthy babies. Through the Embrace Grace programs, lives are saved
and generations are being changed. God loves these babies and their
mommies, and we do too. Embrace Grace is operating in over 650
churches across the nation in 47 states and 10 countries!
