Last year 2022, marked a pivotal time in the pro-life world with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. It has literally turned our ministry around. We have pivoted successfully over the course of 2022 and 2023 to set us up for expanded success in 2024.
As Texas laws took effect, they have posed challenges for individuals seeking abortions leading some to explore alternative options, such as abortion pills, off shore abortions and more. Additionally, the situation has led to a notable trend of individuals traveling to neighboring states like New Mexico, seeking access to abortion services that are more readily available there.
Furthermore, Anchor Point has been taking a proactive role in fostering communication between pregnancy centers spanning the distance between Houston and New Mexico. By establishing partnerships, our aim is to maintain an open dialogue with clients who are seeking an abortion. These partnerships offer individuals the opportunity to explore a variety of options before making a final decision, aligning with the goal of providing holistic information and compassionate guidance.
Locally, Anchor Point continues to play a crucial role in walking alongside mother and baby from conception and beyond. We aim to provide comprehensive support to help the mother through our life on life program, medical services, educational support and spiritual services.
Additionally, our services extend beyond the mother and baby to encompass all individuals involved. This holistic approach acknowledges that the well-being of the father, mother, baby, and their other children are interconnected and interdependent.
As we move into 2024, we will continue to build out a strategy to influence and develop centers around the state thus becoming an industry leader. Expanding their vision for a bigger view of life – maternity homes, helping families in crisis, medical services and more. All the while allowing us to impact even more lives and change their trajectories both now and for eternity.
An additional goal is to secure a permanent, consolidated location for Anchor Point and it’s many subsidiaries. It is time to firmly root Anchor Point in our community as a beacon of life and hope.
As we continue to move forward into the rest of this year and beyond, Anchor Point will continue to face complex decisions and considerations in upholding the dignity of both the mother and the unborn baby, the family unit as a whole and any other significant needs God sees fit for us to help Him build His Kingdom.
To God be the Glory!
