“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

The Lord has our back in this crazy journey we call the National Ride. He is by our side always, protecting us, and giving us rest and peace in our hearts when we need it most. He releases the burden from us and helps carry our cross. #WHYB4B

God certainly has big plans for "Baby A" who is the center of our Pregnancy Resource Center Story this week!

A patient had a medical abortion at a local abortion clinic. A few months later, she was feeling movement and called the clinic to request a follow up appointment. The follow-up ultrasound displayed a baby, fully alive. On her way home from the clinic, a ThriVe commercial came on the radio and she called us for help. We got her into care with one of our doctors immediately and then we brought her into ThriVe for resources.

Our survivor baby made his grand entrance into the world over the summer and we received the following text from his momma after he was born: "He's a week old today. Everything went smoothly. 7lbs 13oz of perfection. His name is A. He has everything he needs right now. I really appreciate everything this organization has done for me. He probably wouldn't be here if I hadn't contacted you all."

A few months later, baby A stopped into our center for some items today and his mom wrote out her story to be shared. Here is what she wrote: "After finding out that I was still pregnant months after taking the abortion pill, I googled places or someone who could help reverse the effects of pills and provide more resources to help me through the situation. If it wasn't for your organization, I may not have kept my baby."

This week we would like to share a story of a young college student who visited a pregnancy resource center and received the support she needed to complete her college degree and parent her baby.

She was in distress as she wanted to finish college and did not think it was possible to reach her goal facing an unplanned pregnancy and a baby. She did not want to graduate with a baby. Our staff met with her; listened to her; offered support. We help her realize that the college degree was not only hers but the baby's. After a few months, we received the letter below. She did not go through the abortion she wanted, but decided to carry and parent the baby.

A quote from the mother served, "I would like to take the time to say thank you for all the support and encouragement you gave me when I was at the lowest point of my life. The special you took me under your wings and helped me conquer my hardest quest. I am now blessed with a new baby boy and you are the primary reason. There should be more people like you in this world because you make a big difference when people like me are confused with the toughest challenges of life. Hopefully, other women can nourship from your wisdom as I id because it is a wonderful experience once the quest is over. I am so happy that you were there when I felt lost and confused."

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17

You are called to this kind of friendship. You deserve to have a community that holds you accountable and pushes you to be the best version of yourself. A loving community that wants you to be who God intended you to be and will do anything to help you reach that.

This is the community of Biking for Babies. #WHYB4B

"Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart,
with fasting, and weeping, and mourning;
Rend your hearts, not your garments,
and return to the LORD, your God.
For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment."
Jl 2: 12-14

No matter what we are doing or what challenges we are facing, the Lord desires for us to return to Him with everything we have because He wants to heal us. We must keep Him at the center of our hearts during our mission. #WHYB4B

Many women come to pregnancy resource centers with difficult situations. Pregnancy resource centers are there to walk along with these women and support them in the difficulty.

**Names have been changed**
Gemma and her daughter, Valerie, live in Georgia now, but Gemma remains grateful for her time at The Northwest Center. She moved into the maternity home after narrowly escaping a domestic violence situation while pregnant. Desperate for safety for herself and her unborn baby, she googled maternity home options, and found The Northwest Center. Recognizing the trauma she had undergone, staff arranged for her to attend counseling. While pregnant, Gemma continued to work full-time and take a full load of courses to prepare for a career in healthcare. She also took parenting classes while at the maternity home, learning important skills of communication and conflict resolution that she had never learned in her own family. She recalls: “I learned that the things you say and do, you can’t take back. I learned to make decisions for two people, and to put my daughter first, always.” Gemma worked the night shift and was allowed to continue her job because earning a living gave her the key to her future independence. For Gemma, equally important to the maternity home’s welcome of her with open arms was its gentle nudge back out the door and into independent living when the time came for her to leave the program. Looking back, Gemma remembers being scared of living on her own and wishing she could have the security of the home for more time. “[The Maternity Home Director] made me move out. I was too comfortable,” she said with a laugh. Maternity home staff helped her find a new apartment with a rental assistance program for herself and Valerie. Staff continued to provide babysitting support, accompanied Gemma to court for hearings about the domestic violence incident and continued to celebrate birthdays and other celebrations with Gemma and Valerie. Gemma and her daughter moved to Georgia, where she is finishing her degree in nursing and continues to be in touch with Susan monthly as she continues to navigate life’s challenges and celebrate her successes.

In Matthew 4, Jesus heard the voice of the devil and his temptations as he fasted in the desert. A voice which seemed reasonable, which seemed responsive to His needs, which seemed like the loudest voice in the forefront. Like all of us, Jesus discerned the voice of His father and pressed forward with His Father’s will without any shortcuts. // What is the Lord calling you to? How do you hear the voice of the Lord of Life through the noise of a culture of Death? We pray that you are better able to discern the will of God for your life and better understand how the Lord is calling you to build the Kingdom of God in your own, specific way.

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people so that you may proclaim the mighty acts of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9

God desires us to act on the light that he has given us so we can share it with others. This is the purpose of a Biking for Babies Missionary. We are not only chosen, but CALLED to be His face to those we support in Pregnancy Resource Centers and those we encounter in our everyday lives.

How will you respond to His call and be purposeful in the great gifts He has given us? #WHYB4B

We are all called to evangelize and share our fait

We are all called to evangelize and share our faith. Whether on a bike or in the support crew vehicle, Biking for Babies missionaries have a unique opportunity to evangelize as they travel across the country on the National Ride. When people see vehicles decorated with car paint or a group of cyclists in bright yellow jerseys, they can't help but wonder what it's all about. Missionaries share the beauty and dignity of life, the work of pregnancy resource centers, and the love of Christ!

“Why I am returning? The battle is not over in this fight for life. Each day, I enter an environment that is not aware of the true suffering abortion does for our mothers/children, our families, and our nation. Each day, I strive to be a witness of life. The physical and mental suffering during the [National Ride] humbled me in many ways. I am eager to be reunited with a team that promotes the Culture of Life. Though I was hesitant to apply again, I remember my previous teammate saying, "this 2022 ride is training for the 2023 ride," so with an open heart and a desire to keep on running the race with God and His great love for new life, I am back here applying to the greatest mission we have here in the USA...because what is more important than life?” // Applications close on February 28. Join us--because what is more important than LIFE? #WhyB4B

The growth in virtue is essential to a Christian's

The growth in virtue is essential to a Christian's walk toward Heaven. Virtue regularly points us to the Good, and virtue--being a habitual disposition--often takes time and sacrifice to cultivate. Asceticism is an ancient practice centered around self-discipline and sacrifice that makes us better people and more in love with God. With Lent coming up, how are you denying yourself so as to not deny Christ?

//

While our rider missionaries make other sacrifices in their training, our support crew missionaries commit to asceticisms designed to foster the growth of humility, love, courage, faith, generosity, joy, and discipline. Missionaries are encouraged to offer up the sacrifices associated with their asceticism practices for women going through unplanned pregnancies.

//

Applications for the 2023 National Ride close on March 1. We have spaces for both rider and support crew missionaries on our rides throughout the country. Message us if you have questions about the experience, the preparation, the cost, the fruit, the community, etc. Aubrie will get back in touch with you!

Building a relationship is vital to pregnancy reso

Building a relationship is vital to pregnancy resource centers. Through these relationships women build trust with the centers and know that they can return to the center anytime they are in need of help. In this week's pregnancy resource center story we hear the story of Brittney who knew that she could trust her local pregnancy resource center when she found out she was expecting during a difficult moment in her life.

**Names have been changed**
"Seven years ago, Brittney came to PWC fifteen weeks into an unplanned pregnancy. She had been pressured by multiple doctors to abort after finding out her unborn daughter had Trisomy 18, and would not live long. Emphatic she wanted her baby to live as long as possible, PWC supported her and stood by her side when it was time for her to deliver her precious little girl. Through the work of our clinic, Brittney was able to spend every minute with her little girl for five weeks until she went home to be with the Lord.

Because of the relationship PWC built with Brittney, she returned years later after becoming pregnant and leaving her abusive husband. Over the years she was away, she experienced life as a single mom and time in an abusive marriage. She knew adoption could provide a safer life for her baby with more opportunities.

Brittney wanted to give her child two things she never had for herself: both a mom and dad and a large extended family. We connected her with adoption agencies to help her navigate adoption and choose her baby’s forever family.
Fast Forward...
Last month, Brittney welcomed a precious and perfect baby boy into the world! As hard as it was to decide to place him for adoption, she’s thrilled he will experience a two-parent home.

She will still have contact with the adoptive family and receive updates. We’re grateful for the strength and selfless love Brittney has for her baby, and for the opportunity to serve her and walk alongside her in this adoption journey."
