Harbor Life Ministries

Please pray for one of our residents (who we will call “Felicia”) as she may be going home today.

Felicia is 16 and due in February but has completed all the program requirements, and her mother and family would love to see her return to home so that they can be close in this final month before the birth.

While at Harbor House Felicia realized that God would forgive her sins if she asked, so just recently she prayed for forgiveness and asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. She is seeking a deeper relationship with God and wanting to know all of what it means to follow Christ.

Please pray that Felicia will “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” as she reintegrates into her home, her family, her school and eventually into another new experience…motherhood!

After experiencing the death of her son Keith, born prematurely on April 18th, Lysa has gone home to her family.

She arrived on April 4 and it was an absolute joy to have her; she brightened every conversation and never seemed to be grumpy or ill-tempered. Her attitude was positive even about coming to Harbor House. She wanted to be here and and wanted to get help with her situation.

Please keep Lysa and her family in your prayers. There is also a memorial fund set up in her son’s name for anyone wishing to contribute (Paypal alternate site).

Natasha is on her way back to Orange County, California, after living quietly for six months at Harbor House.

Coming all the way from the west coast?unwillingly at first?she was 15-just-turned-16, pregnant, and her parents needed some help. They wanted Tasha away from the peer influence that had helped turn their sweet Christian teen into a rebellious daughter they didn?t seem to know any more. Her parents, both Christian physicians, knew what might happen if they didn?t find help for her.

In Tasha?s own words:

?Before I came to [Harbor House] my life was a wreck. I had become sexually active with my boyfriend, intimate with other boys, abused alcohol, lied to my parents? To add to my mess I became pregnant?

“Thankfully, my parents loved me enough to send me to Doug and Karla?s [Harbor House] to get the help I need. After I came, my life got turned around. I learned to be independent from boys, my walk with God became stronger, my relationship with my parents is slowly healing and I am giving my body?and my life?the respect it deserves.?

Tasha gave birth on December 12 to Korbyn Alexzander, a healthy baby boy who she placed for adoption.
