There are so many women and men in our community who are facing an unplanned pregnancy and truly believe abortion is their only choice.
But when they see their baby’s beating heart during the ultrasound and learn that there is a loving community empowering them with solutions, resources and support, they realize they do have a choice, and many courageously choose life!
When we look back over our first year as Thrive Medical Clinic (TMC), we are in awe of what God has done through you. There are children alive and loved today, because of the love and care their mothers and fathers have received through you and your support.
God has blessed and grown this ministry in abundant ways this past year. We have some big updates to share with you!
We bought our building! In 2022, God opened the doors for us to buy our building and provided the funds through all of you! Your gifts have enabled us to double our space, and to repair and remodel our building with excellence. Thank you for investing in a building that will be serving our community and saving lives for years to come!
Increased staff, operating hours, and resources: To reach women and men considering abortion at their immediate time of need, we have increased our hours, added to our staff, and will soon be implementing online scheduling! Thanks to your support, scheduling an appointment at Thrive Medical Clinic is now easier and more accessible than ever before. This increased accessibility is truly saving lives!
Abortion Pill Reversal: Thrive Medical Clinic is the only pregnancy center north of Grand Rapids that is able to offer this life saving protocol! Women are being pressured to make abortion decisions completely alone and incredibly fast and many come to regret their decision immediately upon taking the first abortion pill. With Abortion Pill Reversal, they can choose again and give their baby a chance to live, and these mothers and fathers can live without the pain and regret of abortion. You made this possible!
Launched Thrive Forward: In order for people to thrive through an unplanned pregnancy, they need to know they won’t be alone. We want to prove to them that there is a whole community waiting to surround them in support for as long as they need - from essential baby and maternity supplies, to coaching and mentorship for both mothers and fathers, and connections to other vital local resources. Thrive Forward also hosts group events to create connection for parents who otherwise feel starved for community. Thrive Forward’s ongoing set of resources creates opportunities for repeated experiences of Jesus’ love through interactions with our staff, and also creates an environment where these moms can grow in friendships with each other.
Launched Thrive Shop: Thrive Shop was created as a tool for awareness and connection. When you wear Thrive shop items, you not only spread awareness for Thrive Medical Clinic, but it also builds trust with potential patients (many of whom are your friends, coworkers, acquaintances, etc), because they can associate Thrive with someone they know, like, and trust vs an organization that’s unfamiliar. This has been more impactful than we could have prayed for.
THANK YOU!!
This is all God’s provision through you - every hour volunteered, every dollar and item donated, every prayer, every single one of you are making a life-altering impact! Your individual part may seem small to you, but please believe us when we say that it matters and we couldn’t do this without you!
Because of you, Thrive can reach more people with the love and hope of Jesus, and see more people choose life for their baby.
