After visiting CPC’s Keim Center in the midst of a crisis pregnancy, Mecca made
a prayerful choice for LIFE and decided to bring her little one into the world.
Months later, she would again cry out to Jesus for her baby.
When little Emmanuel was born, he was not breathing because the umbilical
cord had wrapped around his neck – asphyxiating him. Although she felt helpless
at that moment, Mecca knew she wasn’t alone. By taking parenting classes at one
of CPC’s Keim Centers, she learned the importance of prayer.
Mecca prayed for Emmanuel, and he was revived!
As Emmanuel recovered, Mecca continued to draw on the things she learned at
CPC’s Keim Center. Mecca said, “I now knew why I was drawn to [The] Keim [Centers].
All the things that I learned there were to prepare me for what was to come. It
was what I learned in those classes that gave me the courage to reach my hand
in his crib while in ICU and speak life into him.”
Mecca is so grateful for the help she received from CPC through its Keim
Centers that she wants to share her story boldly. She and Emmanuel will be
joining us for CPC’s Walk for LIFE next month! Mecca is a fundraising walker
because she wants other women like her to receive the love and support she
received through our pregnancy center ministry.
I hope you consider following Mecca’s lead and participate in one of our three
Walk for Life events as a fundraising walker. This is one of CPC’s largest
annual fundraisers. We do not receive any government funding and we depend on
the giving hearts of people like you to be able to reach out to the thousands
of women we serve each year. It’s not too late for you to take part. You can
register online at cpcfriends.org/walk.
If you can’t Walk for Life this
year, please consider supporting Mecca and Emmanuel as they walk. This would be
a huge encouragement to her and to the ministry of CPC. You can donate to Mecca
by placing your gift in the envelope provided or you can go to Mecca’s Walk for
Life webpage at walkforlife.cpcfriends.org/mecca.
There, you can give an online donation or make a pledge to be paid at a later
date. You can also send a personal message to Mecca. I know it would be a
tremendous blessing for her to hear from you.
Thank you for supporting CPC! Mecca and her son, Emmanuel, represent
thousands of women and children helped by this ministry. We are grateful for
you!
Walking to save lives and spare hearts,
Toby DeBause
President
