Hannah's Hope

We have our Hannah's Hope website up and running. Check it out here.

I am including some additional information about it for you guys to read as well. (-:


Name: In 1 Samuel, Hannah prayed and hoped for a baby. Many women who have lost babies did the same, and continue to do so after a loss. Women who lose babies are not only grieving the life lost, but they are grieving the loss of hope and plans. Through Hannah’s Hope, we want to help grieving women by taking some of the burden of their grief and replacing it with the hope of Christ. 

Ministry Need: While statistics vary, approximately 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. In 2012, FBC had 44 new babies, which would mean there were likely 10-15 miscarried babies as well. We would like to provide 20 Hope Boxes a year.

Purpose: To give families who have experienced pregnancy loss a place to find comfort, prayer, support, and community. To validate the lives of lost babies by affirming to their families that they are valuable and meaningful.

Check out the website and let me know your thoughts! (-:

  2. Hey, so I've been out of touch with the internet the past few weeks as we've been moving, so I just had to do some major catch up on your blog posts. I'm so, so sorry to hear about your loss of your baby :( I can't imagine how difficult it would be to switch from such joy to such sorrow in an instant. I love what you're doing with the Hannah's Hope idea though...what an incredible way to offer comfort to others as God has comforted you! Praying for you and also for this new ministry!
