The Gardner-Webb Sister\u2019s Ministry assisted in building the brand new Pregnancy Resource Center of Cleveland County. They traveled to the construction site on Saturday, March 28, to complete various tasks.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the ladies wiped off shelving units, swept the floors, and dry mopped the walls,\u201d said Sister\u2019s Ministry coordinator, Katie Hudson. The building will be used as a counseling and resource center for women with unplanned pregnancies.<\/p>\n
Matt Holland, the executive director for the Cleveland County Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC), gave them a tour of the facility. He also gave step-by-step virtual rehearsal of how the center would provide for the women.<\/p>\n
On the Cleveland County PRC\u2019s website it states, \u201cThe Pregnancy Resource Center of Cleveland County, Inc. is a locally organized and financed non-profit Christian ministry. All of our services are offered free of charge. This is only possible because of the generosity of individuals, churches and businesses in our community that are concerned about life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holland has been involved with the Cleveland County PRC for 18 years. \u201cThe mission statement for the Pregnancy Resource Center is to proclaim the sanctity of human life and the gospel of Jesus,\u201d said Holland. They have helped numerous women in Cleveland County and provided options when the women have felt hopeless.<\/p>\n
Amanda Collins, a freshman at GWU and member of the Sister\u2019s Ministry, has found a passion in working with the PRC. She first volunteered with Walk for Life, a ministry of the PRC.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt a call toward working with the Pro-Life Movement, but not in a political sense,\u201d said Collins. \u201cI was looking for something to do with my time as a freshman.\u201d<\/p>\n
With volunteering with the PRC, Collins has been exposed to many different stories. \u201cHearing these women\u2019s stories and how even though they maybe going through a pregnancy, they are strong and get through it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Sister\u2019s Ministry is always looking for ways to help the community. \u201cWe already had a connection with the PRC and they actually contacted us to help at the new facility and we were very excited that they asked us to help,\u201d said Hudson.<\/p>\n
They hope to have the center finished by the end of June. \u201cWe have a target date of June, 30,\u201d said Holland. The exterior of the building has been completed and they have just completed the drywall on the interior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
