Let&#8217;s call her Natalie. Natalie was from the Midwest in her early twenties and came to our community with her boyfriend and young son. She got pregnant again, and when she visited The Mary and Martha Center, not only was she in a high stage of pregnancy but also desperate because her boyfriend was arrested for some minor thefts. She was investigated. Natalie worked a fairly hard manual job but kept it as long as possible due to her pregnancy because she needed an income.<\/p><p>Her situation was complicated, and it stabilized after many twists and turns. We introduced her to a church in the community where she started attending and receiving support and friendships, to the point that she could return to her parents in the Midwest. The process lasted about nine months, during which we stood by her side, coordinated help with the church, saw her give birth to a beautiful baby girl, and bid her happy farewell to her home.<\/p><p>I still keep thinking about her. She looks happy with her children on Facebook, and I sincerely hope that life is treating her much better now.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"2\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a081d5c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a081d5c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e270484 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e270484\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYour program has been truly beneficial in providing spiritual support and the necessary aid in our time of need.

I felt my world had fallen apart, and there was no way back. I had numerous meetings and visits with Jana and her team over a few months. They walked me through a lot of processes and showed me that we all have these certain feelings of despair, but we are all so worthy. I am so thankful for the Mary and Martha Center.&#8221;<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>-Anonymous<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"5\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"5 of 5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f600b3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8f600b3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-200234f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"200234f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41ea977 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"41ea977\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>&#8220;It is important to note that since I came in contact with the Mary and Martha Center through Prof. Jana Strukova, there have been some improvements in the&nbsp;lives of people we have worked with.&nbsp;<br><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var( --e-global-color-60758d1 );\"><br><\/span><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var( --e-global-color-60758d1 );\">We started working together in 2021 when a group of five women from the Weala District Conference formed part of a mentorship program led by Jana Strukova and Regina Butler. Since that mentorship, the women have had resilience in dealing with situations that confront them daily. The financial empowerment to these women was a breakthrough for them and their families.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Cardinal to note among these assistance is the scholarship provided to a single mother, Josephine Garmukelen to study at the Courage Medical Center in Liberia. Josephine just graduated with an &#8220;AA&#8221; degree in nursing. This mentorship has impacted these women and me as a pastor. It has helped me to rely&nbsp;on Jesus Christ in times of challenge (s).<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Finally, I pray that we continue in this partnership for the good of our single mothers in Liberia.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Graciously yours,<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>-Rev.
