She is enthusiastic, kind, generous and a wealth of information. She jumps in without hesitation no matter what needs to be done. We absolutely love her!!"

Back from sabbatical, our Executive Director is returning with a renewed gratitude for the gift of rest, and for the faithful community that continues to stand in the gap through prayer.

During Savannah's time away, one connection remained: Hearts on the Wall prayer texts. Each prayer request was a reminder that, together, we can lift up women, families, staff, volunteers, and precious lives in moments when hope can feel far away.

And sometimes, a message came back with the words we rejoice to hear:

She chose life.

Every prayer matters. Every life has immeasurable worth. And every “yes” to standing with a mother in prayer can help make a difference in a story you may never personally see.

Will you join us in prayer through Hearts on the Wall?
