New Faces at Daybreak!
Daybreak Pregnancy Center has undergone some recent
changes in staffing, and we want to take a moment to honor
our Daybreak family that has moved on, as well as introduce
you to some of the new faces God has brought
our way!
First, after 3 1/2 years with Daybreak, our Medical
Manager, Shana Salley, has moved on, and we
wish her all the best in the next steps God has for
her and her family. Shana filled Daybreak with
such love and compassion, equally blessing both
our clients and staff. God truly used her to impact
countless women's lives and save the lives of the
most vulnerable.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thankfully, the Lord brought us a new Nurse Manager, Lauren
Pittard. A certified RN, Lauren has been a volunteer counselor at
Daybreak for 6 months and has taken over our Ultrasound
ministry with a vigorous excitement to seeing the unborn saved.
Nina-Business Admin
Lauren– Nurse Manager
Jeannine– Office Admin
Daybreak also has some new
faces in our downtown
Columbia office. We are
pleased to announce the
addition of Jeannine Scott
and Nina Shifflett. Both bring
experience, skill and passion to
their jobs at Daybreak! We
are so thankful for all our new
additions!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
July 1st will be the 4th anniversary of our Lexington
location…and it has been an incredible journey!!
From the very beginning we have seen how the Lord
has provided in ways that we could not even
imagine. One of my favorite things to do is to give
someone a tour and share how the Lord gave us
beautiful furniture, décor and equipment. It’s good
for me to remember. It
builds my faith to share it.
July 1, 2011 was a Friday,
and it was the Friday
before a big holiday weekend. I still had touch up
painting that I wanted to
do so I came to the center
in my scrubbies. But I
brought nice clothes on the
off chance that we would
actually have a client.
Good thing I did because we had a client on our
very first day! I still remember her story. That was the
beginning of Him teaching me that everyone has a
story. Everyone. He has strategically placed us here
to show love, grace, compassion to the women, men
and children who come here. Because of Jesus, we
are making an eternal impact. To God be the glory!!
"I'm against abortion… unless the
woman has been raped!"
How many times have you heard that? For some it’s
justifiable for the innocent child who was
conceived in rape to pay with it’s life for the
crime of his or her father. Lexington has
been blessed to come along side two of
our clients who chose to see it differently.
One of those clients was in last week to
show us her six week old son. She could not
have been more proud and more in love with that
baby! She decided to go to school to get a better
job to make a better life for herself and her little girl.
But she was missing essential tool for her success
-a laptop. We worked with a generous group that
provided her with a brand new laptop this past
Christmas. These mothers and their children are living,
breathing testimonies of how masterfully our Lord
redeems and restores!

We would not be
nearly as effective at
making an
eternal
difference without our
volunteers. In fact, we
simply could not do
what we do without
volunteers.xxxxxxxx
Our volunteers are like
family. We not only
serve together, but we
cry, pray, grieve, laugh
and always HUG! We
pour into the lives of our clients and pour into the lives of each
other as well. Everyone here, regardless of their duties plays a
vital role in this ministry. To share with you the value of only one
of our volunteers would be like telling you about only one of my
children. Our volunteers are the most compassionate, loving,
servant-hearted, Jesus lovers I know. They give consistently,
work tirelessly and love unselfishly with smiles on their faces... all
for the glory of God! I'm inspired, encouraged and motivated
by each of them on a daily basis. My life is richer because I
know them. We are what I call "forever" family. We are family
now and for all eternity! Just after Christmas, Our beautiful
sister, Jean, went ahead of us to meet Jesus face to face. I
can't help but think of her Daybreak work becoming treasures
in heaven!
