Dilpreet's Story

Dilpreet at the 2016 Manassas Walk for Life

When Dilpreet came to Care Net Pregnancy Resource Centers she was struggling with a difficult decision.  If she was pregnant, what would she do?  Deep down inside she knew that life is a gift, but she found herself considering abortion.

It had been nine years since she had her last child and she was not planning on having another one.  She thought her days of childbearing were over.  The stress kept mounting as she considered starting all over again and supporting another mouth to feed without a job.

She read the positive result on the pregnancy test and sat quietly trying to take it all in.  The Client Advocate asked if she could share about the programs and services Care Net PRCs offers.  Dilpreet’s countenance suddenly began to change.  Hearing that, through our Ready on Arrival program, she would be provided the baby items she needed was a huge relief to her.

Dilpreet was given an ultrasound to confirm her pregnancy and determine how far along she was.  She said, “It gave me peace of mind when I saw the baby on the screen.”  That feeling she had when she first came into the center, that life is a gift, was now confirmed.

Dilpreet, who has a Hindu background, was not initially interested in hearing about Jesus.  However, as she continued participating in group classes, heard the Gospel several times and was prayed for, her feelings began to change.  She felt so much love from the volunteers, staff and other clients that, when presented an opportunity, she gave her life to Christ! 

We were able to provide Dilpreet with many items that she needed for her baby which were tangible expressions of the love of Jesus.  But more importantly, she received support, encouragement and a Savior who will always love and provide for her.

Dilpreet has been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, whom she adores.  She has returned to work and has already witnessed God’s provision in her life.  Many times she has expressed to us her appreciation for the prayers that were lifted on her behalf.
