March Prayer Update

Isaiah 55:11 “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth:
It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please.
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
The FPC staff start each day in a time of prayer and intercession;
we thank you for your prayers and support.

Dear Prayer Partner,

Praise Report:

• In February 2013, FPC saw 37 clients and 25 women were able to see the life inside of them through ultrasound!  We continue to see God bring clients here who need a place to process their pregnancies and experience the love of Christ.

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday

This week is a busy week for the Fredericksburg Pregnancy Center. On Sunday, we have many out at various churches in the area speaking for Sanctity of Life Sunday and sharing how FPC is here to help the community. Hopefully we’ll have some photos from some of these events later this week!

Below is a copy of our bulletin insert for 2013 and a video that Board Member Dan Donehey created for the Center. This is the longer version that will be shared at many of our community events.Sanctity of human life front

A National Event:

Christmas Appeal Letter – With Matching Donations

“He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.” Psalm 37:26

December 1, 2012

Dear Friends For Life,

The generosity of our donors has been an integral part of the Pregnancy Center opening in October. Thank you to everyone who has been instrumental as a ‘foundational donor,’ a monthly partner, or undergirding the ministry in prayer; without you the ministry would not exist.

What a great privilege it is for the Fredericksburg Pregnancy Center to be open and serving the community! Women who find themselves in a crisis pregnancy now have a place to come where they can be educated about Jesus, and the sanctity of life.

Yet, we are now at a pivotal point in the ministry where we need to raise more funding to effectively reach those in the Fredericksburg area who may be most vulnerable to choosing abortion. This is one of our chief goals, and challenge in today’s culture.

I write to invite you to double the impact of your financial support. An anonymous donor has offered to contribute up to $30,000 by matching gifts to the FPC between now and the end of the year.  A gift of any amount will deliver twice the benefit so when you give $1000 today, the Pregnancy Center will gain $2000 up to $30,000!

The goal is to raise an additional $30,000 by December 31. I am confident that together we can reach that amount.

 Please consider a year end gift to Fredericksburg Pregnancy Center that will be matched by our anonymous donor. Your generosity can help us provide accurate and relevant medical information that encourages choices for life and helps spread the Good News of Jesus Christ towomen and their families.

I know that if you are receiving this letter, you appreciate the Fredericksburg Pregnancy Center’s mission and vision.  I pray you will take this opportunity to support us once again by filling out the matching gift certificate at the bottom of the page and mailing it in with your gift. Or GIVE ONLINE – Your fastest and easiest way to give is at our secure site: FredericksburgPregnancyCenter.org. Be sure you indicate your donation is for the matching gift program. Or you may mail a check to the center and write “Matching Gift Program” in the memo.

Friends for Life,

Denise Swett

Fredericksburg Pregnancy Center
Acting Director


Looking for Ultrasound Models

We have need for pregnant ladies who would be willing to be an ultrasound model to assist in the training of another nurse for the center. The days are Thursday afternoons, and we are assisting NIFLA in their national training on Sat. Dec 8th in the afternoon at their Southpoint office. They are offering
$25, and our Thursdays we give a gift. Ultrasound pictures are given also.

The only qualification is that they not be 8-9 month.

Please pass along our need and ask them to call our office at 540-370-1800 for an appointment.


Dedications and Donations
