Friends of Crossroads Pregnancy Center

Please send an urgent prayer for a woman coming this afternoon to our office who is ready to choose an abortion. Pray for a life choice.

Because of her mother's choice for life, Congresswoman Kat Cammack of Florida is "dedicated to helping other mothers choose life for their babies."

We have 3 specific volunteer needs. 1) A woman who is fluent in Spanish to interpret for clients in the Mifflintown Office 2) A person to organize our baby boutique items in Huntingdon once or twice a month. 3) Another person to do the same in our baby boutique in Mount Union. If you would like to volunteer for any of these positions, please contact our Executive Director, Cindy, at 814-643-3570.... #volunteer

Crossroads has 4 offices (out of the 2,700 pregnancy centers nationwide) and we do our part to help families in our communities. But if we ever feel like our part is not that impactful, we can remember that together, pregnancy centers are making a huge difference in our generation -- empowering parents and raising up the next generation. #Pregnancyhelp

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!" Luke 1: 42 Check out this post from I Am Pro-Life

On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God's gift of life, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion, and commit themselves to protect human life at every stage. This year SOHL is January 17th. If your church wants resources for talking about LIFE, please visit our blog and call us at 814.643.3570. https://cpcforlife.org//our-creators-love-for-us-outnumber

She wanted to volunteer to meet with clients one on one. She was a very capable, loving, faith-filled woman. She was very pro-life and pro-Jesus. She knew scripture much better than I did. In interviewing her, I asked the question I always ask new staff and volunteers, Have you ever had an abortion, and if so, have you ever received healing?.

Look at what we got today from Cookies for Caregivers! They are a great group of people that bless our community in Huntingdon!

"A couple came into the office and wanted a pregnancy test. They didn’t know what they wanted to do if she was pregnant. They were not living together and neither of them wanted anyone to know. Their pregnancy test came back positive. With the results of the test, they informed me that they had already made an appointment in Pittsburgh to have an abortion a week later. " "I counseled them about their options and as I spoke with them, I could sense their undecided feelings on the whole matter and a lack of just not knowing what to do. I asked them when they thought life began." Read more about their story and their answer on our blog...
