~Volunteer Spotlight~

Meet Brooke! 

Brooke has been a faithful volunteer to new beginnings for several years now. She first started helping out at new beginnings in 2013 when she did an internship here to complete her Human Development Degree with a focus on family studies. She interned for 3 months with us and then went on to graduate, get married, and start her own family. Then in early 2016 Brooke contacted us saying she wanted to regularly volunteer on our campus. For over a year she has served weekly at New Beginnings Maternity Home. Brooke has such a heart for the women we serve. She loves to spend time with them and pour into their lives. She is kind of like a big sister to the gals who live in our program. Brooke serves new beginnings by working on special projects, driving gals to appointments, doing house hold chores, sorting our donations, and putting on fun events for our gals. We just recently got to go over to her house for a girls night where we ate dinner and watched a movie together. Brooke has a two year old daughter named Aria and is expecting her second little girl at the end of this month!! We are so excited for her little family to grow again soon! Please join us in prayer for Brooke and her family as they get closer to their delivery date! Pray for a smooth last few weeks of pregnancy and a healthy uncomplicated delivery.

If you are interested in volunteering with New Beginnings and serving young vulnerable pregnant women please email us at: info@newbeginningshome.org we are currently looking for volunteers as well as a few staff members.

Meet Karrin!

One of my favorite parts about working here at new beginnings is that I get to use my passion and experience in photography to empower our mamas! I shoot maternity photos, birth photos, new born photos, and mama and me photos for all of our gals here at new beginnings. I love getting to show women the innate beauty that the father has created in them. I love getting to show them that they can be graceful and strong and beautiful all together, and that they are worthy to be loved and cherished. You may think, "Pictures can't do all that", but I truly believe that photography can be so powerful, not only for the viewer of the image  but also for the subject of the image if done in an empowering way. The latest shoot that I got to do was Maternity Photos for one of our new beginnings mamas, Karrin. She is about to POP! Her precious girl is due August 21st (so close!). Karrin can not wait to meet her little human! Karrin has a heart to love on people. She is so excited to start the journey of being a mama. She enjoys art, movies, games, and she loves to laugh!! Please pray for a safe and beautiful delivery of her little one, and that the weeks leading up to that day would be enjoyable and exciting! Enjoy some of this beautiful mama's portraits:

Summer Baby!

This summer something beautiful happened... LIFE! Another precious new beginnings baby was born to one of the awesome Mamas we get to serve. Keianna Rose was born at the very end of May. Here at new beginnings we get to celebrate new life more often than your average home, and we LOVE it!! I (Hannah-New Beginnings Staff Assistant) had the privilege of attending this birth as a support person and photographer! It is so special to get to be a part of a birth, its by far the most amazing and beautiful thing I have ever gotten to witness. This particular birth was a doozy! When we got to the hospital mama was already in pretty active labor, it seemed like she almost skipped early labor. Once we were admitted we ended up finding out that this mama had preeclampsia, which can be pretty scary. Thankfully the awesome medical staff at St. Jo's found it early enough that it was able to be treated and didn't cause too many problems. This mama only labored for about 5 hours total, God orchestrated everything so perfectly. She gave about 5 good pushes and out came a beautiful baby girl. Keianna is perfect in every way, hand made and loved by God. She weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and had a gorgeous head of curly black hair. We stayed in the hospital for a few more days (extra monitoring is required with preeclampsia), but mama and baby were recovering beautifully and we got to go home! A huge shout out to two awesome women, Christina and Michelle. These women are 2 doulas who volunteer with new beginnings and offer their birth services free of charge to the women of new beginnings. They are incredible and we are so grateful for their generous hearts to serve the women of new beginnings. Even though we at new beginnings get to celebrate birth often, we never get tired of it. Getting to meet a brand new person perfectly knit by the Father is such a gift! I pray that we never grow numb to the miracle of life. That each and every birth we get to celebrate is another reminder of what an amazing Creator we get to worship. What a blessing. Enjoy some pictures of the newest NBH baby!

You are LOVED and there is HOPE

YOU ARE LOVED AND THERE IS HOPE

This is the theme of our 36th annual New Beginnings banquet. So WHY did we choose this theme?

Because this is the TRUTH for each and everyone of the gals that come through our program. We know that every New Beginnings resident is preciously loved by Father God. He loves them and their little ones so dearly (wether they know it or not), and we long to be the hands and feet of the Father to these women through our family centered ministry.

We also believe that there is a tremendous amount of hope for the women of New Beginnings. They all were intricately designed by our creator with beautiful qualities that make them totally unique, they have so many talents and were created for a specific purpose. There is hope of a beautiful future and a restored past. Our God is a God of restoration and healing and HOPE, isn't that amazing?!

Although the title of our ministry, "New Beginnings", was designed to reflect what we hope for our residents, I find myself discovering new beginnings here all the time. I came into this ministry wanting to let the Lord use me to bless others, but through that process He has graciously blessed me more than I ever could have imagined.  How amazing that he wants to pour out blessing on us just because he loves us!

We really hope you will join us for our banquet this year. It will be a beautiful time of reflecting on all the ways God has shown his love and given his hope through New Beginnings this past year. We are excited to share so many stories and testimonies of the amazing things God is doing in and through our ministry. We are truly blessed to be a blessing.

We have two BIG needs right now to make this banquet possible.

          1) We need table HOSTS

                     As a table host all you have to do is invite your friends/family! Table hosts do not pay                          anything for themselves or guest, all you do is fill a table with 8 people (yourself                                  included). We will give you invitations and all that you need to easily invite your friends                      to join you in learning about New Beginnings Homes.

          2) We need table and corporate SPONSORS 

       
                      As a table sponsor you are paying to sponsor the cost of one table. The cost is $400.                             You do not need to fill the table with guests, you are just providing the opportunity for                         more people to come hear about New Beginning Homes!

                     As a corporate sponsor you are helping support the New Beginnings Banquet as a                                whole. Corporate sponsorships start at $1000 and go up to $5000. This is a great way for                      your business to sew into the community!
