How can Christian families plan to stand with mothers in unplanned pregnancies?

Question #50

Families can choose hospitality ahead of time: set aside budget, bedrooms, meals, and time to help mothers in crisis (Galatians 6:2). Coordinate with your elders so care is shepherded, not solo. Trust the Lord who provides when His people open their homes (1 Peter 4:9).

If enough needs are found and met, this is how biblical pregnancy resource centers may begin. It's important to be clear that abortion isn't "one of a few options" for these mothers. Whether they are Christian or not, women must be told that abortion is murder. When they are tempted by thoughts of killing their child, they should be reminded that the gospel has power to save them from sinful thoughts.
