Support the Wyandotte Pregnancy Clinic

The Wyandotte Pregnancy Clinic (WPC) and we will be offering open houses on Thursday, June 11 and on Saturday, June 13 at 7:00 pm.

WPC is working to expand to serve more inner-city clients. A little over three years ago, Carl Landwehr, the President of Vitae Foundation summarized one of their investigations as follows: “Essentially, there aren’t enough pregnancy care centers to help minorities in the inner cities of Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas.” Since that time WPC opened in KCK but there is still a great need.

The first goal is to expand to a mobile sonogram unit. This is a sonogram which will be housed in an RV and driven around the city (both KS and MO) to meet women where they are at – whether that be at Planned Parenthood sites, the mall, or neighborhood hot spots. (Learn more at http://www.mobileultrasound.org )

The second goal is a fixed location in Kansas City, Missouri. The mobile unit will help us establish which location would be best. A site near the Planned Parenthood at 47th & Troost seems like a good idea, but we will have the opportunity to test that idea before incurring major expenses. Perhaps we’ll find out a location closer to downtown would allow us to reach more abortion-minded women.

WPC is an ecumenical organization but their procedures are all in line with Catholic Church teaching. (Some pregnancy resource centers promote abstinence to unmarried women, but do recommend birth control for married women. Others proselytize first rather than first meeting the immediate needs of the woman.)

During our first two years of operation we were blessed to help save the lives of over 123 babies. Praise God! And we continue to reach abortion-risk women. Please see the attached internal heart-warming report on one of our recent days of operation.

We were very blessed to have been provided with primarily start-up funds to help us get established. Now our task is to build a solid financial support base for our continued ministry. With the current enormous attack on life being waged by our federal government this is a very positive way that you can help build a culture of life. If you choose to support us you will play an important role in helping save the lives of babies being threatened to be killed.

Please join us at an open house and see if this ministry is one that you would like to support. The open house will be kept to one hour beginning at 7PM. It will begin with a tour of the impressive 5,000 square foot facility and will be followed by a presentation by the WPC Client Services Director and a testimony from a client. There will be a fundraising appeal at the end of the open house, but there is not any pressure to make a decision that evening.

Given your previous dedication to the pro-life movement, I think you will find this project very exciting. I hope you will be available to attend the open house but if you aren’t we can arrange for a tour at any time. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you can join me! Thank you for your consideration.

It is said that it takes a village to raise a child and unfortunately in today’s culture it takes a village to save a child. Please help.
