Our main work – training churches
HOPE's focus is to equip churches with grace and truth for unplanned pregnancy. A signpost to spiritual and physical LIFE!
Resources for churches
1. A basic 1-hour seminar: 'How to talk with someone considering an abortion'. So that any believer can respond proactively with kindness and truth.
2. More in-depth training: i) to equip individuals and outreach ministries and ii) to help churches that want to set up a pregnancy support ministry.

Our model – Grace and truth
Grace – to listen and be proactive to share the hope of Jesus Christ, with compassion.
Truth – to listen and be proactive to share the facts about her baby and ‘abortion’, with compassion.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 the Bible
Online information
HOPE Pregnancy offers information with kindness and truth.
We use honest language to help them think through their situation for themselves.
On the way forward we encourage reflection – 'what is this decision really?' We can't make anyone's decision for them. This is an opportunity for mothers (and fathers) to educate themselves more on the humanity and value of their unborn child, and the reality of an abortion decision.
We are open that our faith and hope in Jesus are central.
HOPE is affiliated with Heartbeat International. We are not a medical or counselling service.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest... rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28–29, the Bible
Our beliefs
Our goal is kindness and truth in the love of Christ. If you have questions about hope in Jesus Christ, why not explore – Junction316
The science of embryology is clear
'Human development begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm… unites with a female gamete or oocyte… to form a single cell – a zygote. This highly specialized… cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.'
Keith Moore and T.V.N Persaud, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, Philadelphia, Saunders/Elsevier, 2008,15.
At HOPE we believe that every human life at whatever stage of development from fertilisation has value simply by being a member of the human race.
The Bible affirms that human life starts (and matters) in the womb
Our belief is that every human being is made and sustained by God. Personally created in His image, to reflect Him.
Therefore, we believe that all human beings have value as human persons, including the most vulnerable and voiceless children in the womb.
Each life should be treated with respect, dignity and love; both mother and baby have infinite value.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place... Your eyes saw my unformed body...
Psalm 139:15–16, the Bible
Hope is a Person
We confidently fix our eyes on and point to the fixed reality of Jesus himself, our living hope. We look to His character and His will rather than something good in our own nature or circumstances. Biblical hope for now and eternity is the gospel – Christ in you the hope of glory. Trusting Jesus changes everything in the storms of life now and after death, forever.
However difficult the current circumstances or the road ahead, we believe the God who created both mother and baby offers true hope and joy for the journey.
This offer of hope in Jesus Christ is for all of us. How could we not hold out the hope that we have?
...Christ Jesus our hope...
1 Timothy 1:1, the Bible
Amazing grace
God tells us that to intentionally kill an innocent human being is wrong. Through Jesus Christ and God's amazing grace there is the offer of complete forgiveness and restoration. This is for every way in which we have rejected our creator God, and centred our life around something else. We all need the gift of a fresh start to flourish under his loving authority and care.
HOPE Pregnancy responds with compassion and hope towards women (and men) who are bereaved by past abortions. Many are pressured into this decision, especially since abortion has been available as 'healthcare' for so long. This includes women in the Church where often we have been complicit by our silence, or actively encouraged abortion as a solution.
If you are suffering distress after abortion, find friendship with others recovering, and peace and hope in Jesus: Post Abortion Support for Everyone – PASE
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18, the Bible
