Yes.

Loris House was birthed out of Pastor Jim and Lori Bakkers dream of doing their part to stop the abortion epidemic. Women choose abortion for a variety of reasons. Sometimes women feel they have no other choice. Loris House exists so young women do have a choice. They do not have to feel trapped and alone. At Loris House, we offer the love of Jesus to young women along with practical life skills to set each woman up for success. We offer them hope through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We show them a bump in the road, an unexpected pregnancy, does not have to be a devastating time in their life, but can actually launch them into a wonderful journey.
Women choose life because they see there is hope. There is another option. There are genuine people who want to help them and offer them love. We want to stop the abortion epidemic not only for the babys sake, but not the mothers as well. Is that your heart as well? Do not be plagued with the question, Why didnt I try to stop it?. Take action today. There are many ways for you to do so. You can start volunteering at your local pregnancy resource center, commit to praying daily for women who are considering abortion for their hearts to be penetrated by the Holy Spirit, or you could partner with Pastor Jim and Lori by donating to Loris House today.
However you choose to fight against the silent holocaust of abortion, start today. You do make a difference. You can save lives.
I gave birth to twins out of wedlock, when I was fifteen years old! The term I heard most often was that I had ‘ruined my life.’ I had my children, and I am glad I did! Today they are successful beautiful adults with children of their own. They are a great blessing to me. People should not tell young women they have ruined their lives! I think it contributed to them thinking they must ‘un -ruin’ them by having abortions. Blessings for your work! I will help in some way as I am able.
