The Gabriel Project


. . . the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph of the house of David and the virgin's name was Mary. And when the angel had come to her he said. "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women."
Luke 1:26-28

The Gabriel Project

The Gabriel Project is an ecumenical movement of churches standing together in their willingness to offer assistance to women facing crisis pregnancies. Each congregation will advertise this willingness by placing a 'Sign of Life' in front of their church. Each congregation will develop its own, unique response to the needs of the mothers under its care. Training, support, encouragement and basic guidlines will be made available to churches. Each congregation will be a witness to our community of the infinite and healing love of God.

For the Mothers and their Unborn Babies

Through the Gabriel Project the mother can receive love, care and spiritual and emotional support she needs. The church community is invited to respond to the mother's needs, whatever they may be with respect and confidentiality. An angel (parishioner), selected by the pastor, will be responsible for on going contact with the mother. The church community accepts the expectant mother with an unconditional love.

For the Love of God

The goal of the Gabriel Project is to encourage the church to be the good samaritan to the woman faced with a crisis pregnancy. The congregation will do this by welcoming and assisting the woman with love. Jesus will be brought into her life and home through the care and concern of the church community. The love of the church community will open the hearts of men and women to recognize the beauty and goodness of God's creation, and His infinite compassion and mercy.
