In an unexplainable way, God showed up on an unexpected abortion day in Columbus, GA. This happened to be the first day of 40 Days for Life, our semi-annual prayer vigil. A mother and grandmother traveled from a small town in Georgia, about a 2 hour drive from Columbus, looking to resolve the “problem pregnancy” with an abortion solution. When they arrived they were greeted with love and joy from a small team of Seneca Sidewalk Advocates, the Mobile Medical Clinic team and some 40 Days for Life prayer partners. All was calm, but the heavens were storming. A battle for life was being fought in an unseen and unexplainable way.

First Fruits Friday - Scholarship

For the past year, two of our clients, both with bachelor of science degrees in healthcare administration, have participated in the Voices for Healthy Georgia fellowship program. Seneca urged both to apply for this prestigious program. This is where community-centered healthcare advocates are trained within the West Central/SwGA regions of Georgia's healthcare landscape, to deal with issues related to health disparities, and other culturally relevant topics around health, wellness, and access.

First Fruit Friday - Abortion Drivers

Many people who drive these women to the abortion mill have no idea that they are enabling a death to take place. Seneca staff continued to talk to this gentleman and urged him to speak boldly to his friend on the way home about his beliefs and about all that Seneca could do to help her. There was still hope.

First Fruits Friday - Under Age & Under Stress

Recently we have seen an increase in the amount of teens seeking an abortion - or rather someone was seeking an abortion for them. Our Sidewalk Manager was able to go with one of the clients to see the baby - who was 33 weeks. In Georgia, one can seek an abortion up to six weeks or at the detection of a heartbeat. To learn more about the law check out GA Heartbeat Law . Our team members contacted the authorities and followed correct protocol for a minor seeking an abortion and who fit the criteria for rape. To find out the correct protocol please visit Justia.com

First Fruits Friday - Partners in Christ

One thing that we attempt to do here at Seneca is to partner with other agencies to provide services for our clients. Over the holiday rush, we had the privilege to partner with Calvary Baptist and Central Baptist churches, both here in Columbus. In a whirlwind of setting up a home for one of our clients and her children, we were able to secure a safe house, toys, food and some furniture for them.
