Six ways we walk women from crisis to restoration

Program 01

Crisis Pregnancy Intervention & Counseling

A woman facing a crisis pregnancy can feel as though her world has come to an end — stuck, confused and overwhelmed by pressure from every side.

This program helps girls and women in a crisis pregnancy deal with the pressures surrounding them, confront their fears, and understand and manage their emotions — removing the crisis from the pregnancy.

As they begin to see their own strength even in a difficult season, they are able to find a suitable way forward. There is always hope, even in the face of an unplanned pregnancy.

Program 02

Post-Abortion Recovery

Many women who have chosen abortion carry years of self-pity, condemnation and regret, convinced that theirs is the worst case and that healing and forgiveness could never reach them.

Our post-abortion recovery program is a place where post-abortive women are accepted and loved. It is a non-judgmental, safe and confidential forum where they can confront their choice and its consequences, release the emotions they have kept locked in the innermost chambers of their hearts, and grieve their loss.

Together they walk through a post-abortion recovery Bible study, find a place to belong, share their experiences and help one another find healing and restoration. It is not the number of abortions that matters here — it is the shared pain and regret that unites them, and the healing that meets them.

Program 03

Sexual Healing Program

Have you been sexually abused? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of compromise or a relationship you cannot seem to leave?

The sexual healing program is a non-judgmental, safe and confidential forum where you are guided through a Bible study that opens your eyes to how the abuse or compromise has hurt you — and how to find your forgiveness, healing and restoration in Christ Jesus. There is nothing as powerful as receiving your deliverance through Scripture.

“As the rain and the snow come down from heaven … so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” — Isaiah 55:10–11

Program 04

Teen Mothers Education & Life Skills

While we are in the business of saving babies, we also see the need to support the rise of teen mothers and ex-teen mothers in Kenya. Without proper counselling, many girls who fall pregnant in their teens resign themselves to a life of regret and defeat.

We desire to partner with God in giving them a hope and a future — enrolling them back into school to the level of their ability, where they can begin to pursue their dreams once more. A fall or a mistake never thwarts God’s plans; He still has good plans for each of them.

In partnership with Badili Centre, we teach soft life skills, microfinance and business skills, so that these young mothers can provide for their children and step into the future the Lord has for them.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

Program 05

Hadassah Mentorship Program

The Hadassah Mentorship Program addresses the areas young women grapple with most — sexuality, relationships, self-esteem and identity — empowering them to make wise choices as they navigate the transitions and new-found freedoms of young adulthood.

Sessions explore building healthy relationships (not only romantic ones), sex and sexuality, media and peer pressure, self-esteem and identity, crisis pregnancy and abortion, and decision-making rooted in positive values. The content challenges each participant to weigh her value system and the consequences of her choices, and to embrace a purposeful outlook, significance and identity in Christ.

The program runs once a week over 12 weeks, with hand-outs, discussion groups and real-life stories that help the teaching make practical sense. Participants learn as much from one another as from the facilitators — we simply come alongside to guide and shed light on difficult questions. It can be facilitated in schools, colleges, children’s homes or any organised group of young women.

Program 06

Sexuality & Abortion Education

Our God-given mandate is to share the truth about sex, sexuality and the sanctity of life as God intended. We believe sex was designed for the committed relationship of marriage, and that life begins at conception and ends in natural death.

These are the truths we carry into communities across Kenya, through outreaches in schools, colleges and universities; workshops and seminars; teen and young-adult retreats; church forums; and door-to-door life outreaches.

If you would like Pearls & Treasures to speak at your school, church or organisation, we would love to hear from you.
