Churches Opening Their Doors to Teen Mother Choices

As TMCI’s Training Coach and Communications Director, I have the privilege of talking with our Program Directors, hearing how God is moving in their programs, and then sharing it with you through our newsletters. I am regularly humbled and amazed at how God provides in unexpected ways and, sometimes, at the last possible moment. Two of our TMC Programs have been trying to nd a place to meet for the 2020- 2021 LifeSkills Workshop year. Due to COVID-19, one program could no longer meet at the public library. The other program had been meeting in a home but needed more space. Two dierent churches in two dierent communities stepped up and said, “We have room for you!” A friend of the TMC Program Director reached out to the deacons in her church and asked them to consider the request. While the majority of the church is unfamiliar with TMC, they said providing meeting space would be their way of supporting the ministry. The other TMC Program had a church-planting group oer them a block of rooms in the building they just purchased. According to the TMC Program Director, she will be able to “decorate, utilize, and store our supplies here. We will also have use of green space for a future garden, storage for a food pantry for the girls (stocked by the local food bank), and use of a commercial kitchen.” When we commit to praying for our need, sharing it with others, and trusting God for the outcome, he provides more than we could ask or imagine. Thank you, God!
