96% of pregnant women considering abortion choose life after seeing ultrasound images of their tiny infants. Most crisis pregnancy centers remain unable to offer this life-saving service for lack of ultrasound equipment. Since 2006, donations have allowed 4US to deliver 22 Ultra Sound machines to pregnancy centers in the northwest. During the expected 10-year lifespan of an ultrasound machine, 2,100 mothers are likely to choose life for their babies. Please stop by the narthex table today and/or see http://app.4US.org/teams/176 to learn how you can double every dollar you donate to 4US. Babies cannot wait!
