Meeting Women Where They Are
Right There for Me
Pearls of Great Price
Rise Up to Protect Life – 2017 Banquet
Jody didn’t know Women’s Care
Center existed until the day she
walked in our doors. Jody describes
that day, “The floor dropped out
from underneath my feet. I found
out I was pregnant and I couldn’t
believe it. I had been told I
wouldn’t be able to have children. I
didn’t know what I was going to
do.” Jody took the time after her
Shepherd’s Fold appointment with
Lily to stop in and tell us how
appreciative she is for how we have
helped her.
“Everyone makes me feel welcome
and Women’s Care Center is a great
organization. You have been right
there for me. I am so glad you exist
for women who need you. I am
glad you are here for those who
aren’t sure what they will do when
they find out they are pregnant.”
Praise God for His provision of our
$102,149 goal for this year’s banquet!
You were created for a purpose “For we
are God’s handiwork, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do.”
(Ephesians 2:10) Dr. Kathy Koch spoke
about the uniqueness of each person
God created and the work He has for each of us to do. She encouraged the
hearts of all in attendance with her call for God’s people to “rise up” to
protect life and build up the next generation.
Janet Kimes was recognized by the board for her 20 years to Women’s Care
Center with a special glass memorial
constructed to represent the aspects of
the ministry she has faithfully served.
Amy Newbanks was recognized for her
20 years of administrative service to the
ministry with 20 long stemmed roses.
Janet provided the growth vision for
WCC and the list of areas we are called
to “fight” for life!
Taylor and Nadia, our patients who were in attendance, were welcomed
warmly by the crowd. Their video testimonies told the story of how they
found Women’s Care Center, how they worked through their decision to
parent, and how grateful they are for the lives of their children. They wanted
to let other women know the importance of Women’s Care Center being the
first place they sought services. If you missed the banquet and would like the
audio file of Janet’s address or Dr. Kathy’s speech please contact us for the
recorded disk.

Volunteer Profile
Lisa Indermuhle started training in 2016, completed her training in early 2017 and conducted her first solo patient session in January. She loves connecting with the patients by listening and learning about their lives. She was scared but found God gave the strength and words for each of her sessions. Here is a little more about Lisa from our interview: How did you find out about Women’s Care Center and what made you want to get involved? Jill Amos who is another volunteer at the center told me about her work here. I had been a volunteer mentor at New Beginnings when I lived in Cape Coral, FL. It is a mission for single moms and children.
The Whole Sex Talk™ is a new
program offered to churches by Women’s Care Center. It is a Biblically-based, six-session multimedia program that empowers parents to have healthy, ongoing conversations with their kids about
I enjoyed my time with them and thought I would like to get involved where I live now. My heart is burdened for human trafficking. As I prayed about a way to serve women, I found Women’s Care Center is a way to help single moms. What is your favorite part of working here? I am so encouraged by the staff and other volunteers that I find it very spiritually uplifting to come to Women’s Care Center each time I am scheduled. I was impressed with the thorough training and shadowing I was required to complete. They really prepare you to help patients. We also pray before each session which is critical to our work and what we might encounter during the appointment. I love feeling like I have connected with the women and have been able to help them in the short time they are with us. What would you tell others who might be considering volunteering? I would tell others who are interested in the ministry here to come if God is leading. I have struggled with self confidence in my life and my involvement here has been a huge blessing.
