First Step To Life

Volunteer Encouragement & Equipping!

This week, our volunteers took a pause to gather for a time of encouragement, training, payer and fellowship!

These quarterly meetings are so important for our volunteers as it allows for them to connect with one another, encourage one another through the tough moments, and pray for wisdom and strength as they diligently serve our patients.

We are so grateful for the time that each and every one of our volunteers give to the women of Assure and we could not do this work without them!

It’s always good to be out in our Omaha community!

Toni and Michelle attended the Thomas More Society’s Omaha Banquet last night and connected with others who care deeply about strengthening families and supporting life.

At First Step to Life, we’re grateful to be part of a community with so many people and organizations committed to helping women and families thrive.

Thanks to the Thomas More Society for a wonderful evening!

We’re asking our community to cover our patients and our team in prayer this week. 🤍

It has been a heavy week—one filled with heartbreaking stories, high emotions, and difficult circumstances. Our staff and advocates have had the privilege of sitting with patients in some incredibly vulnerable moments, listening to their stories, caring for them, and walking alongside them as they face difficult decisions.

Would you pray with us?

Please pray for our patients—that each person who walks through our doors would feel deeply loved, genuinely cared for, and never alone. Pray that the presence of the Holy Spirit would be unmistakable while they are with us and would remain with them as they leave. Ask the Lord to bring peace into situations that feel chaotic, strength where there is exhaustion, and hope where circumstances feel overwhelming.

Please pray for our staff and advocates as they meet with these patients. Pray for wisdom, compassion, discernment, and the right words in difficult conversations. Ask God to strengthen their hearts as they carry the weight of the stories entrusted to them and help them continue to love and serve each patient well.

And today, we’re asking for particular prayer for one patient. She recently had a baby and is struggling with the adjustment of this new season. She has now learned that she is pregnant again and is determined to have an abortion. Please pray that the Lord would meet her in the middle of her fear and overwhelm. Pray for peace, clarity, support, and strength. Pray that she would know how deeply loved and valued she is, and that she would feel surrounded by genuine care as she considers what comes next.

Lord, be near to every patient carrying something heavy. Give our team strength to continue showing up with compassion and grace. May Your peace fill our rooms, Your love be evident in every interaction, and Your presence go with each person who leaves our doors.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer. Your prayers matter more than you know. 🤍
