The numbers present a raw reality.
Studies show 1 in 4 women will have an abortion by they time they are 45.* Comparing that with other data, it seems that
adult women
and
men who are a part of a church are just as likely to have an abortion story as someone is does not consider themselves Christian.**
In This With You started because we believe, and statically know, there are tens millions of Christian women and men in the US with abortion stories who often exist silently within their churches and friendships with unspoken grief, guilt, and/or shame.
We believe God no longer wants grief, guilt, and shame to be unspoken.
Yet, we are NOT here to point to a political movement. We are NOT here to convince you to vote a certain way. We are NOT here to end abortion.
Rather, we believe the Father has given us a message to relay to you.
“I want my kids who have an abortion story to know they are welcome Home.”
What is "Home"?
Home is a safe place where God wants you to be first convinced of His complete for you love, before you would work through your abortion story with Him and others.
So, here we are, pointing you Home. We are here to encourage you to no longer silently carry your story of abortion, but rather to be brave, to turn fully to Jesus, to open up to trustworthy friends, and to heal.
So here is our invitation to you:
