Expansion: IVF & Surrogacy Outreach

There has been a great burden on my heart for IVF and surrogacy, both of which goes against the Word of God and His plan for how we are to procreate- between one man, one woman: husband and wife.

IVF and surrogacy takes this out of the confines of marriage, attempts to defy God and points to man as the creator of life, which we know no life can be created apart from God! This not only takes away from the marriage but it also allows for those in relationships who would not normally be able to procreate to have a child.

We now have technology that would appear to have the power to create life and takes away the faith and trust that is supposed to be in God and points it towards man. Sadly and oddly enough, this practice is rarely preached against from behind the pulpit and is actually a practice that is greatly condoned and accepted among the churches.

The process alone kills so many precious tiny little humans – those that don’t meet a certain “grade”, those that are not wanted because of their gender, their genetics, they already have to many brother and sisters, those that are given for experimental purposes and so many other reasons. You cannot honestly say what all is going on with these precious children, there is no one really going in there and making sure it’s done in a way some would call an “ethical” way.

Make no mistake the ONLY ethical way to procreate a child is through the process in which God intended, the marriage bed.

God is the author of life and death, and it is God who opens and closes the womb.

While our hearts break for the women who desire and want to have children, we cannot stay silent about this anymore. We cannot sit back and do nothing.

We have expanded the ministry to not only reach out to abortive minded mothers but also women who are seeking or going through the IVF and surrogacy process. While the two may seem vastly different the message is the same, it’s always the same: the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for without Him we have no hope!
