You may be wondering why the change, and why, "The James Isaac House, A Pregnancy Resource Center." When the ministry was organized in 1988 we were only thinking of one location and we were on a mountain top. Over the years 3 satellite centers were opened in West Virginia. Each of these centers are in the valley. Over the years most Pregnancy Resource Centers have taken, "Crisis," out of their name. Our Advisory Board and Board of Directors felt this was a time to change our name.
I was one of the founders of the ministry. Many of you have heard why I do this work, but for those who don't know, I'll explain. I am not proud of this. In 1975 I had an abortion when I was 13 weeks pregnant. I attended counseling at a hospital because of my crisis. In 3 sessions my counselor did not educate me on the development of the baby. He said, "You have to hurry up and make a decision." I told him to go ahead and schedule an appointment at an abortion clinic. Like I said, "I am not proud of that." The work that I do will never bring back my child but the ministry has saved many lives in these 28 years. Part of the healing process is, to know in your heart if you have a son or daughter and give that child a name. God has given me peace that I have a son and He even gave me his name, "James Isaac." When people ask why that name, that opens the door for me to educate on abortion and how an abortion may effect a person. What LOVE!!! My Heavenly Father put this broken vessel back together and saw fit to use me in, His Ministry, to save lives. This is why the new name is, "The James Isaac House, A Pregnancy Resource Center."
