Greetings!

As 2024 quickly comes to a close, we reflect on the way God has used this ministry to reach those dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. The need continues to be significant as so many moms and dads right here in Louisville are searching for compassion, hope and help during an overwhelming time in their lives. It is our privilege to serve each of them as we know that God has a purpose and a plan for each mom, dad and child.

We also want to thank you, our incredible supporters who serve with us each day to reach those affected by unplanned pregnancy. This work would not be possible without your generous financial support, volunteer hours, prayers and passion to see the Gospel furthered right here in our community. Thank you for your faithful partnership!

Praises:

• That we continue to see an increase in clients over all aspects of the ministry.
• For our faithful supporters and donors who make it possible for us to provide our services to clients at no cost.
• That more fathers have come in this year for pregnancy center appointments and for our fatherhood mentors who help guide dads as they lead their families.
• For our dedicated staff and volunteers who ensure that the ministry operates smoothly.
• For our church partners who serve by volunteering, participating in our baby bottle campaign, sending volunteers and financially supporting us.
• That we have been able to see God at work in the lives of our clients this year; we praise Him for allowing us to be a part of what He is doing here in Louisville.

Prayer Requests:

• That the hearts and minds of our clients would be open to the Gospel and real life change. 
• Pray that our online marketing efforts would reach abortion-minded or abortion-vulnerable women and bring them to BsideU.
• That God would provide a new part-time Lunchroom Cook/Coordinator.
• Pray for wisdom and discernment as we launch a campaign to replace our mobile unit that has had significant mechanical issues in 2024. Pray for funds to come in to exceed our seed challenge when we launch, and discernment in what vehicle we acquire to replace our aging unit.
• For more volunteers to come to the center in 2025. We have a number of volunteer needs, such as pregnancy center advocates, child care workers, and meal preparers/servers. 
• Pray that more babies would be saved this year and that more hearts would be changed through the Gospel.

Thank you for your faithful support of BsideU for Life! We are grateful for you.

Have a blessed New Year!
