Biblical Framework for Addressing
Abortion in Ministry
As a pastor or ministry leader, you carry the weight of guiding those who are walking the path of faith after abortion. Scripture calls us to "bind up the brokenhearted" and "proclaim freedom for the captives" (Isaiah 61:1). When pastors aim to reach out to the post-abortive community, it's important to approach the matter with compassion, sensitivity, and a Christ-like heart.

What Church Leaders Are Saying
"As a counselor and a pastor, my view of support for those who have had an abortion has changed over the years. I once thought it was enough to offer 'passive' help for those courageous enough to reach out. I now realize that by talking more openly about it and offering support groups, we can take a more active role in this process. People need to know they have someone to talk to who understands their struggle. I have seen firsthand the healing that can come when this type of support is offered."
— Dr. Preston Crowe, Counseling Pastor
