Those at NLC (a center for women in crisis) often have a sad story that leads to their present condition. Sometimes they have been through terrible trauma; sometimes family and friends have rejected them, and for some it’s the culmination of a series of unfortunate events.

These brave pregnant women have decided to either keep their babies or put them up for adoption, rather than get an abortion.

Some are due within the next few weeks and most  won’t be seeing their loved ones this Christmas.  We decided to arrange a special meal to encourage them and make this Christmas one to remember!

One of the five-star hotels in Cape Town donated a breakfast buffet for all seven women, the likes of which they had never before experienced! Each woman also received a pamper pack with beauty products, chocolates, and an inspirational book.

Looking out over the ocean, with as much food and love as they could handle, we pray they felt the wonder of Christmas; as we surely felt the joy of giving.
