Greetings!

We join with you and a host of brothers and sisters across the country in praising God for the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision last Friday reversing the erroneous decisions last century that attempted to enshrine a constitutional right to abortion. We also praise the Creator that elective abortions ceased to be legal in our home state of Kentucky last Friday!

However, even as we send this to you, the trigger law, and the “heartbeat ban” that our General Assembly passed a few years ago are being revisited in Jefferson Circuit Court. Judge Mitch Perry has heard arguments from the abortion defenders, and the Attorney General’s office, and this morning he put in place an injunction allowing EMW and Planned Parenthood to resume providing abortions temporarily.

We continue in the battle to turn hearts and minds toward life, and realize that demand will increase for crisis pregnancy services. We ask you to join us in committing to pray for and serve these women who may need BsideU For Life now more than ever. Here are some updates from the ministry:

  • Food is so much more than physical sustenance. It's the stuff around which relationships are built, and soul conversations happen. Lunch is back!
  • Did you know that we host a ministry tour each month? Learn about our Save a Life Tour, and join us for the next one on July 11th.
  • Our Children's Ministry planted a garden! See how its growing plants, hearts and minds.
  • Our golf scramble last month was a success! Read about it here, and see what else is coming up soon.
Prayer Requests and Praises:

  • Praise God for the overturning of Roe v Wade after 49 years!
  • Praise God for sending Heather, our new Lunch Room Coordinator, to us and that we will be able to serve hot lunches again.
  • Praise God that we have not experienced any violence or property damage at our locations after Friday's Supreme Court decision. Pray for continued protection for our staff, clients, volunteers and physical locations as we seek to serve even more families.
  • Praise God for potential volunteers and churches who are answering the call to love, serve and support our clients and their families.
  • Pray for state court judges and justices to uphold abortion restrictions in Kentucky.
  • Pray that many churches will be stirred to partner with us through Care Net's Making Life Disciples program.
  • Pray for wisdom for our Pregnancy Center and Life Skills staff as they share the gospel and work with clients daily.
  • Praise God for increasing the number of fathers participating in our men's ministry. Pray for Neal and Lance as they develop and grow this new aspect of our ministry.
  • Pray for our Team Life Bike Ride on August 13th, that it would be a beautiful day and successful in raising the funds needed to sustain our ministry.
  • Pray for our Annual Benefit Banquet, that God would be with us in our planning and for a successful event on September 22nd.
  • Praise God for our faithful donors! Pray that God sustains and blesses them.
  • Pray for continued wisdom and discernment for Monica and our Board of Directors who lead the ministry. Praise God for their faithful service!
