Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart”

Testimonials
Hi, my Name is Addison this is what God has done for me:
I found out that I was pregnant while in county jail, and I knew then that I had to change my life and start living for the Lord instead of my own selfish desires. I waited for a court date for two and a half months after my acceptance to Project New Start, and every night I prayed that I would be able to come to the Esther House, and that this program would help me strengthen my relationship with God and get my life back on track so that I could be the Godly mother that my child deserves. Now, I can safely say that this program has given me the tools that I had been needing to walk closer to God. I used drugs to try and fill the emptiness inside of me, while all along the missing piece that I needed was Jesus. I have finally found peace and contentment that I know is only because of my comforter, Jesus Christ. I am now happily married to my baby’s father. I am putting my life back together one day at a time. I’m very thankful for God’s unending love and mercy, as well as for the staff at PNS and all the wonderful things that they pour into us daily.
Luke 15:3-7
“Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
Our Beliefs
Abortion is one of the greatest tragedies in today’s world. We, at New Life Church, believe in the sanctity of life and preserving family values. Life is precious in God’s eyes. In Deuteronomy 5:17, God gave, as one of His commandments to Israel, “Thou shalt not kill.” In the New Testament in Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” ‘This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If we love God above all and love our neighbor as ourselves, we cannot kill. And abortion is the death of an unborn child. God has known each and everyone of us since the beginning of time.
God spoke in Jeremiah 1:5 and said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” David wrote in Psalm 139:13-16 that, “ For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of theearth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
The process of building a human takes place in the womb, (the same meaning as “depths of the earth”) with a purpose already assigned the unborn child by God. This passage verifies the fact that the baby in the womb is an unborn person. There is no explanation of the exact week of pregnancy at which this status is attained, thus there is no safe period of time to abort an unborn child.
God has a wonderful plan for every child that is conceived. Proverbs 31:8 says to, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” We, at the New Life Church, do speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, we speak up for the unborn who have no voice and we speak out for the sanctity of life.
At the New Life Church we offer a home, the Esther House, as a safe haven for women who are contemplating having an abortion because they have no one to turn to and have no place to go. We desire, and God desires, to see that unborn child be born and live a life pleasing unto Him. “He is the Lord, your redeemer, who formed you in in the womb, who has made all things, who alone stretched outthe heavens and who spread out the earth by himself” as it written in Isaiah 44:24. “Children are a reward from God” as is says in Psalm 127:3.
At the New Life Church we are pro-life. Therefore we offer pregnant women the choice to come and live in a Christian Home filled with love and support for her and the precious gift of God she is carrying inside of her. If a woman has had an abortion, God will forgive her of that act if she professes Jesus Christ to be her Lord and Savior and confess and repent of her sins. “Our God can forgive and forget all sins and iniquities” as it is written in Hebrews 10:17-24, Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Our God, as we ask of Him, is so wonderful to forgive and forget all of our past sinful and fleshly deeds. Our prayer, at the New Life Church, is to see all the lost and unsaved come to know Jesus in their lives and live a life full of His Word, His love and His promise of eternal life. We believe, as the Bible teaches us, that continuing sexual immorality and abortion are against God’s teachings and will for us. We also believe that God is just and faithful to forgive us of and forget all of our sins if we accept His only Son, Jesus Christ, as our personal Savior and confess and ask repentance of all of our past sins.
