At Pregnancy Resources, many women and men come to us not only facing present-day crises, but also bearing the lingering pain of a past abortion. It can be a grief that is held in silence, and a shame hidden deep within the heart. When the weight feels unbearable and healing seems out of reach, God is already preparing a path forward.

Through our after-abortion care and healing ministry, we witness Isaiah 43:19 lived out in quiet, transformative ways. In spaces intentionally designed for safety and trust, participants gather in gender-specific small groups, surrounded by others who understand their journey. These groups offer a compassionate environment where stories can be shared without judgment and where hearts begin to soften under the assurance of God’s mercy.

Over the course of a 10-week Bible study, women and men are guided through Scripture that speaks directly to brokenness and restoration. Step by step, they are invited to confront pain, release burdens, and receive the forgiveness that Christ freely offers. What once felt like a barren wilderness becomes a place where renewal takes root—where shame loosens its grip and freedom begins to grow.

This ministry reflects the heart of the Waymaker: God meeting His people exactly where they are and leading them toward healing they may have thought was impossible. Participants discover they are not defined by their past, nor abandoned in their sorrow. Instead, they are seen, loved, and invited into wholeness.

After abortion care groups for women and men will be starting up soon. For more information please call 309-797-3636 or email pam@qcpregnancy.org for women or prcmen@qcpregnancy.org for men. If you or someone you love has experienced the personal pain and trauma that can be associated with an abortion decision, please reach out today.
