My wife and I have been helping Heartbeat of Miami for a few years now. The other day we received a letter that they may have to close their doors.
Heartbeat of Miami is a crisis pregnancy center that was strategically planted in Miami, Florida, the city in the USA with the highest abortion rate. John Ensor and others had a vision for planting these centers in strategic cities and this was their first one. Here are some staggering statistics.
- They are the only crisis pregnancy center in that part of the city and their are 37 abortion clinics.
- In 3 years [Update: It has actually been 2 years...sorry] that Heartbeat of Miami has been open, over 4000 ladies have been served and over 1000 babies have been saved.
- Their financial support is down 48% this year.
Please consider making a donation...even a $5 donation to help unborn babies have the gift of life. You can go here to donate and click on the green button that says "Donate Now." There is also a matching program through the end of August 2009, so if you give $5...it is acutally like giving $10. If you give $50...it is like giving $100. Please pray and if you feel the Lord leading you, please give.

Thanks for the info.
would like to know more about their need, but can't find details on their website -- can you tell us where to get specifics (and/or where we can read a copy of the letter they sent out)? thanks!
Pastor Mike and Kristin, thank you so for your prayers and support.
I just read your Blog on Heartbeat of Miami Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics. I have also received emails informing me that the link posted is not working.
I want to assure everyone that our website is secure for their gift. www.heartbeatofmiami.org or our address 5465 NW 36 St. Miami, FL 33166.
Pastor, I also wanted to clarify that in only TWO years since we opened, over 4,000 women have been served and thousands of babies have been rescued from abortion. The numbers are outstanding because there is a big need in this urban community flooded by abortion businesses offering only death as a choice to a woman with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. We are here to offer them a true choice, LIFE and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thank you all for your prayers and your gifts. God bless you!
Martha Avila - President of Heartbeat of Miami

Thank you to those that have donated to Heartbeat of Miami Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics.
I have no words to express my gratitude for your prayers, words of encouragement and financial support.
You have answered God's call to "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter." Proverbs 24:11
As we go through this financial crisis, we will continue to stand firm on God's promises. Thank you for standing with us.
God bless you!
