{{first_name|Friend}},
Monday, I shared the story of a baby whose life was saved through Abortion Pill Reversal.
Today, I want to share another reminder that God is at work in Southern New Mexico.
We have secured a new Her Care Connection office immediately adjacent to Dr. Theard's abortion center in Santa Teresa.
In fact, we will literally share a wall with his office.
The photo above helps tell the story.
Meet Aida, our Her Care Connection Director. She is standing in front of our new office.
The yellow sign visible to the right is the sign for Women's Reproductive Clinic, Dr. Theard's abortion facility.
As I stood in the new office, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the way God continues to lead this mission.
Time and time again, He opens doors we could never have opened ourselves. He guides us, provides for us, and places us exactly where He wants us to be.
Seeing us next door to the abortion center immediately brought back memories of when Mark and I moved into the office just inches away from Planned Parenthood. Many mornings, we would begin our day by placing our hands on the wall and praying Psalm 68, asking God to hear our prayers, close the doors to that place, and convert the hearts of the workers.
Standing there, I felt that same sense of purpose.
God has once again provided a place where we can meet women in a safe, welcoming environment, where conversations are not rushed by traffic or limited to a few seconds on a sidewalk.
And He has once again given us the privilege of being next door to pray for the conversion of Dr. Theard and the workers next door.
The world may see a building next to an abortion facility. I see God placing us exactly where He wants us to be.
One of the most beautiful features of this new location will be a small chapel. Below is a photo of Camille, one of our interns, painting the wall of our soon-to-be chapel, which shares a wall with the abortion center next door.
In just a few days, this chapel will be blessed and dedicated to the Lord, and I would be honored if you would join us.
You’re Invited
I hope many of you will join us as we dedicate this space to the Lord and ask His blessing upon every woman, child, family, volunteer, and staff member who will walk through its doors.
Unfortunately, construction on the abortion center continues to move forward. So please continue to call, send the emails, and letters.
That reality should not discourage us.
If anything, it reminds us why this work matters.
Every day, women in our community need compassionate support, practical resources, and people willing to walk alongside them.
That is exactly why we are opening these new spaces.
While others invest in a culture of death, we will continue to invest in a culture of life.
And by God's grace, we will continue showing up with hope, truth, and love.
As the prophet Isaiah reminds us:
"See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:19)
And this is only part of the story.
Stay to see how God has opened another unexpected door for our mission, and I look forward to sharing more about it in my next update.
Thank you for praying.
Thank you for giving.
Thank you for showing up.
And thank you for helping build a culture of life in New Mexico.
I hope to see many of you at the blessing Mass and office dedication.
Updated Letter Packs
If you still haven't, please download the new packet (Google Doc | Word | PDF) and either CALL or EMAIL the companies on the lists. It now includes:
1. Petition letters to every remaining confirmed company still actively engaged in the project.
2. Thank-you letters to the companies that have already walked away after learning what they were really helping to build, for standing publicly with the pro-life community.
Remember, if you are willing to help investigate, please consider making polite inquiries regarding either company and whether they are connected to the Las Cruces facility project.
If you make contact, receive a response, or learn anything helpful, please let me know so I can update our records and share verified information with the group.
You can reach me directly by replying to this email or by calling/texting me at (915) 455-1344.
As we have learned throughout this effort, some of our most valuable discoveries have come from respectful conversations and supporters willing to help uncover the truth.
Standing with you for life,
Jessica Sifuentes
President & CEO
Southwest Coalition
P.S. — If you have a personal connection to anyone involved with these companies, never underestimate the power of a respectful conversation. One phone call from a friend, fellow parishioner, church member, neighbor, or trusted acquaintance can accomplish more than hundreds of letters.
