A note from the director
All of us at
the Crisis
Pregnancy
Center of
the Desert
would like
to extenda heartfelt thank you for your continued
faithfulness in prayer and your ongoing
encouragement and financial support.
You have been instrumental in helping
us to save the lives of unborn children
and be a positive influence in the livesof their mothers. This has been a
very exciting year for us as we have
experienced a significant amount of
growth and change.
With the support and encouragement
of Southwest Church, we have begun
the process of becoming our own non-
profit organization. This change will
allow us to not only fulfill our goal of
reaching more girls in crisis pregnancy
situations, but to also expand the scope
of our services and to grow our donor
database. We look forward to updating
you on this status in the coming months
and introducing you to our Board of
Directors.
In order to distinguish ourselves from
other Crisis Pregnancy Centers, we
have changed our name from The
Crisis Pregnancy Center to The Crisis
Pregnancy Center of the Desert. In
addition to the name change, we havea new website:
www.cpcofthedesert.com. This new
website provides our clientele with more
comprehensive information regarding
our services and allows them to have
quicker and more reliable access to uswhen theyre facing a crisis. The new
website also provides an opportunity for
our donors to give directly online.
Throughout this past year, The Crisis
Pregnancy Center has seen an increase
in people coming in for help. So far this
year, over 200 girls have been seen for
pregnancy tests alone. Of the 115 that
had positive tests, 56 were abortion
vulnerable and 30 made decisions of life
for their unborn child. And those are just
the ones we know about. We were also
blessed to walk alongside one of those
precious mothers who not only chose
life for her little one, but also made the

selfless decision to place her beautiful
baby girl in the arms of a loving adoptive
family chosen by her. God is good!
Over 400 parenting classes have been
conducted by dedicated volunteers
through our Earn While You Learn
program, educating mothers and fathers
with valuable information before the
arrival of their little one. Many of our
Earn While You Learn parents have not
only taken classes throughout their
pregnancy, but have returned after their
baby is born to continue their education
in preparation for the impending toddler
years!
Sweet Peas Baby Boutique received
a face lift in March and as a result of
advertising on social media and a new
website, our sales have increased. We
are thrilled to be able to provide young
parents the opportunity to purchase
items for their little ones at an affordable
price, all while donating the proceeds
to the Crisis Pregnancy Center of the
Desert. If you get a chance, please stop
by the store and pick out something cute
for the baby in your life.
Visit our new website at
www.sweetpeaspalmdesert.com.
We are thankful, honored, and privileged
to be part of the life saving work here
at the Center and ask that you keep us
in prayer as God continues to use us to
grow His ministry. Every donation of
time, service, money, material items andprayer is positively affecting a change
and potentially saving the life of an
unborn child. Thank you for being an
integral part of that work.
We wish you and yours a blessed
Christmas season and look forward to
updating you in the coming year with
more exciting news of all the work that
God is doing in and through the Crisis
Pregnancy Center of the Desert.

Volunteering at the Crisis Pregnancy
Center and the Earn While You Learn
Parenting program is a great blessing to
me in this time of my life.
My husband and I raised three boys and
we now have six grandchildren and one
great granddaughter. Needless to say,
we have had a very active life. None of
our family currently live close by to us
and I was really missing that mothering
feeling. About 8 years ago God led
me to The Crisis Pregnancy Center of
the Desert.
Here, I feel a real sense of purpose,
watching young women awaken to
the awareness of the new life growing
within them and guiding new parents
through the realities of pregnancy and
parenting. In a way, they have become
my family. Our encounters range from
great sadness to great joy. It is always
such a thrill when they bring their
newborn and growing babies in to see
us.
Moreover, I feel I have a loving family
of sisters (fellow volunteers) who
come along side me and share in this
calling. They are always encouraging
and ready to hold me up in times of
my own struggles. When we gather to
pray at the start of each day, our bonds
grow stronger. None of us could do this
without Gods guidance and we pray for
the love, words and wisdom to minister
to everyone who comes into the center.
I am so very thankful to have the
privilege and opportunity to be part of
this ministry and for the many blessingsit brings all of us as we see Gods hand
at work here day to day.

ABOUT
OUR GUEST
SPEAKER
Carol Everett had
an abortion in
1973, shortly after
the landmark
decision for Roe v. Wade. Lured by the
substantial income and driven by the
subconscious desire to justify her own
abortion decision, she spent six years
selling abortions to other women in four
abortion clinics in Dallas/Fort Worth.
After 35,000 abortions, the death of one
woman and surgery on 19 other patients,
God brought her to a crossroads. Her life
changed dramatically when she came to
know the love and saving grace of Jesus
Christ in 1983.
Answering Gods call, she now uses herexperiences and faith to help set girls and
women free from abortion by connecting
them with positive, life-affirming options.
She first worked educating the pro-
life movement about the day-to-day
activities inside the abortion industry,
as well as offering expert testimony in
courts across the nation as well as 33
State Legislatures and Congress. In
1995, she founded the Heidi Group which
partners with women and their families
to meet the needs of a crisis pregnancy
using practical and scriptural solutions.
