EMBRACE GRACE INC.
SAINT PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

MISSION: Embrace Grace, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed for the purpose of providing emotional, practical and spiritual support for single, young women and their families who find themselves in an unintended pregnancy. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower churches across the nation to be a safe and non-judging place for the girls to run to when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt.  We provide curriculum and resources for the church to implement our programs and become a   church. If the church, the Body of Christ, will join together to support these girls who choose life, young moms will be more open to not aborting their babies. Whether they keep their baby or choose adoption, Embrace Grace is a support system for them as they begin their journey of being a young mother or blessing another family with their baby. Emotionally and spiritually healthy mommies parent emotionally and spiritually healthy babies. Through the Embrace Grace programs, lives are saved and generations are being changed. God loves these babies and their mommies, and we do too.  MISSION: Embrace Grace, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed for the purpose of providing emotional, practical and spiritual support for single, young women and their families who find themselves in an unintended pregnancy.

A seed was being planted in my soul by these selfless, wonderful, amazing women that I spent time with every week. I started to think differently about my circumstances and I began to see the great joy and miracle my baby was to me. My baby saved my life. My son put my life back on track and I had a whole new perspective. I had no idea how amazing being a mother was going to be while I was pregnant. I could only imagine but it was even more than I could have dreamed when I finally laid eyes on my blessing. I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to be a part of Embrace Grace. This group has opened my eyes in so many ways. Before this group, I did not attend church, not that I did not want to, I just thought I would be judged because I have a 3 year old and pregnant with my second before the age of 21, and not married. I heard about this group through my friend and I was hesitant to go because I did not know if the leaders would lecture me on how I need to turn my life around because I was not on the right path. How wrong I was! These amazing ladies never judged me or felt sorry for me. They simply welcomed me with open arms and showed me only happiness and spoke words of encouragement to me and told me how much God loved me. Monday nights became the highlight of my week! Embrace Grace has taught me how much He loves me and is proud of who I am. I found salvation on 11.11.11 that night has changed my life for the better. I will continue to follow the word of the Lord, because I now know the meaning of faith and the grace He has for me. I look forward to learning more about the Lord; I have just barely began my journey with him and look forward to teaching my girls. I was broken into what I thought were tiny little pieces, then I was invited to this Embrace Grace family. They showed me that I was worth something, that I am strong. They taught me the power of forgiveness and the power of prayer. I am no longer broken because God put my broken heart together again. The next semester I will be sharing my testimony in hopes that it may touch just one girl, and let her know that there is always a rainbow after a hurricane. Before: I was lost and broken After: Now I'm found and healed by God's grace God has impacted my life in so many ways! He not only helped me with the all the negative thoughts going through my head about not going through with this pregnancy and the feeling of me like I deserved a horrible life, but replaced with feelings of so much hope and peace. God's love is overwhelming. I don't have those negative thoughts anymore! I can't even express how much I look forward to this class and just the urge to hear Gods Word and be around all the love with my new friends. I highly recommend Embrace Grace to every pastor who desires an effective way to reach the community! Embrace Grace ministry is just stunning and absolutely amazing. My mom was encouraged to abort her first baby due to major health concerns, she chose life. I am glad she did cause I wouldn’t have been able to be born and live out the calling God has on my life. Wherever you find your story- hold onto Jesus and trust that He’ll walk you through this season because the little life inside of you wants to impact this world for Jesus. We are so excited to see what Embrace Grace is doing across the country. Amy saw a need to nurture young mothers and is facing it head on … just beautiful. I love what Embrace Grace is doing! They are wrapping these girls in the arms of community! Amy Ford and Embrace Grace truly live out the gospel through their love and compassionate care of women experiencing unplanned pregnancies. They are a model for all churches on how to share God’s grace and support, encourage and empower new mothers.
