A Huge Blessing

Dear Friends,

September 1st has passed, but we still haven't met the goal of having 100% of the expenses for CPC's Annual Benefit Banquet covered. Thankfully, a generous donor has agreed to a dollar-for-dollar $5,000 match to help close the gap!

Double the blessing means helping more moms and babies!

Please help CPC take advantage of this generous opportunity.

This year, we're expecting many of the banquet guests will be hearing about the ministry of CPC for the first time. There's a possibility for hundreds of additional people to join us in defending LIFE! Just imagine if they knew every dollar they were able to give would go directly to the ministry of saving lives and sparing hearts!

By accepting the challenge of this generous donor, your underwriting investment multiplies into an even larger blessing that will ultimately help more moms, their babies and their families. Please visit www.cpcfriends.org/banquet or call 757.410.9703 to help reach this goal.

Thank you for your love and support of CPC, and for prayerfully considering how you can help.

For LIFE with you,
Toby DeBause, President of Crisis Pregnancy Center of Tidewater

October Prayer Focus



Pray for CPC's expectant mothers and their little ones.
PLEASE PRAY   CPC humbly requests your intentional prayer for:

CASTING OUT FEAR   Even when clients see their baby and choose life in our medical clinics, they often leave facing the same fears that drove them to consider abortion in the first place. Pray these precious women will stay strong in their decision.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS   Our Great Expectations prenatal care and parenting classes are a wonderful opportunity to educate and encourage families while also modeling and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Please lift up these new mothers and fathers, that they will learn skills to care for their children and continue seeking gospel truth in their lives.

RESOURCES NEEDED   CPC’s Annual Benefit Banquet is vital to providing the necessary financial resources to continue the efforts of the ministry of CPC. As this event approaches, please pray for new people to get involved, God to be glorified, and LIFE to be lifted up.

This Christmas, give LIFE!

Larry Ryals, Assistant Pastor at Deep Creek Baptist Church
CPC Christmas Trees are a special way for churches to pour into our community. Members of the congregation “check out” empty baby bottles from the tree to fill with spare change, cash or checks. Each filled bottle holds the opportunity to GIVE LIFE to precious moms and babies!

Larry Ryals, Assistant Pastor at Deep Creek Baptist Church, was encouraged by the love his congregation shared last Christmas and encourages others to get involved this year.

“As Christians, we are all called to recognize that conception is a sovereign act of God (Isaiah 49:1, 5; Jeremiah 1:5). Therefore, all believers have a responsibility to support and pray for organizations such as CPC to save the unborn and minister to people who have been affected by abortion.”

Letter from the President

Abortions performed in South Hampton Roads 2004-2013Dear friends,

The trend towards embracing LIFE continues in South Hampton Roads! According to a recent report* from the Virginia Department of Health, the number of abortions performed in our community in 2013 dropped again from the previous year (see graph).

Not only did the number of precious lives destroyed by abortion drop last year, it was the steepest drop in this nine year downward trend. This is great news!

Let’s continue to pray and work together to keep this trend going. As encouraging as this news is, there were still 6,078 little ones who did not escape the hands of the abortionists. Last year the oldest abortion facility in our community closed because they were not performing enough abortions to keep their doors open. If the trend towards embracing life continues, others will also close. Let’s pray to this end, as too many lives and hearts are still at stake.

Here in the ministry of CPC, we are increasing our efforts to keep this life-embracing trend alive. Thanks to one friend of the ministry, we have been able to invest more in reaching women through the internet. Also, we launched a new initiative to offer some of our clinic services in community centers throughout South Hampton Roads. We piloted this program in the Afton Place center in Portsmouth and hope to extend these services to other community centers soon. It has not been easy, but we are learning a lot and hope to apply these lessons in order to serve more women.

God is moving. He is moving in and through the ministry of CPC and all over South Hampton Roads. Let’s continue to join Him in this work!

With you for LIFE,

Toby DeBause, President
