 Having a Caris location in the Loop has been a dream and prayer request these past five years. We knew that having a central location was one of the key factors in reaching our faith goal of serving 10,000 women annually by 2015. We had no idea how God would provide, and it has been amazing to walk through this process of seeing him open doors. We will move into our new counseling site and headquarters, at 111 Wabash Avenue in Chicago's Loop, in June.
For me, our new Chicago Loop site is symbolic of all the growth we are seeing at Caris. We are getting more visibility in our marketing, serving more women and children, having more conversations in the community, and engaging more churches. We are seeing God answer specific prayers all the time. At the same time, we face challenges, have needs, and know that there is no way we will reach our faith goals unless God moves.
That’s why the number one thing I want to ask you to consider this month is this: Will you commit to pray with us? God has called us to offer more women hope for their future and the future of their child. He has called us to engage Christians to think about how Christ would address the issues of unplanned pregnancy and abortion if he were here today. And he has called us to offer our community a witness of Christians giving practical, compassionate help in a divisive issue.

Compelled
to give...
A young woman came to Caris for confirmation of her pregnancy test. She met with a Caris counselor and after their meeting she decided to come back for an ultrasound. She said that she was amazed at all of the services that Caris' offers free of charge. She was so impacted by her experience with Caris, that she said SHE wanted to make a donation to Caris. This woman does not have great financial means, but she wanted to help us to continue to provide the kind of care she received to others.
True to her word, she came back the next day with her generous gift. We are praising God for how HE is working through the lives and hearts of everyone involved with Caris. His mercy through Caris compelled her to show His provision to Caris.
