Precious twin baby girls born!
I am so happy to announce the birth of these two precious baby girls born on Jan.16, 2016. They came a month early but this momma has been in and out of the hospital over the last 6 weeks or so trying to keep them in up to this point. Amazing thing is that even though they are this teeny they will be going home tomorrow!

This was our first set of twins on ICU Mobile Detroit and the fact that these babies were almost a statistic makes this so amazing to us. God is so good!
When the young woman chose life she was living out of her car, her boyfriend was pushing her to have an abortion, and she was so afraid. One of the first things I asked her when she chose life was whether or not she could trust us, she said she thought she could. This is where trust comes in!

We were able to connect her with one of our local groups - Guadalupe Partners (Now Guadalupe Workers) who helped her get into an apartment, the MIHP Maternal Health and Infant Program that has helped her with nurse and social workers, our very own volunteer driver, Emmanuel, has been there to help her out with car needs. Heather donated some household items when she moved into her apartment, as did some families from my church, Marion, Genevieve and I took a crib (donated by the Wygant family), food, diapers and some baby clothes to her recently.
Right now Emmanuel is helping us to find car seats so these babies can get home. I firmly believe that we have all been the hands and feet of Jesus to this mom just as we are to all of them. I know she will have many struggles being a single mom of three, so I do ask for your continued prayers for her. She is strong and does have plans to go to college and I am sure she will do it. We are changing our communities one mom - one(or two) baby(ies) at a time. This is why we GO! We GO to Serve Women-Save Lives-Share Jesus.
One of our other workers said, "Also, I have a friend who is a mother of twins, and a cousin with triplets who could possibly mentor her...if she would be open, maybe they could call her once a week or so to see how she's doing? Beaumont Parenting Program has a similar outreach...I bet either of them would be open to this.."
