SUPPORT: WHAT CAN I DO?
Pray | Spread the Word | Volunteer | Donate | Church Support
PRAY
Join with the thousands of local Christians who have long prayed for God to be glorified in Miami and for the power of the Gospel to be evident. Ask God to grant a willing spirit among the churches of various denominations that do not agree on everything, but can agree on the supremacy of the Gospel, the dignity of women and motherhood, the sanctity of life and other core values of the Christian faith. Pray for a compassionate and sacrificial spirit among the Christian community to answer the call to cherish and defend innocent human life; one woman at a time.
If you are willing to pray this project toward completion, sign up for the Heartbeat of Miami News (left side bar). It will inform and inspire you to pray continually.
Spread the Word
All of our eUpdates are provided in html format for easy forwarding to your friends and family. Share this site and the eUpdates with all you know. Having started six pregnancy centers already, Rev. Ensor can tell you that the easy part is the actual site preparation, training of staff and volunteers, and the outreach to women in need. The challenge is to have the Christian community supporting it, running it, praying for it, and so reaping the joy of it. So the first action point is to pray and the second is telling others.
Our goal is to open multiple centers, with well-trained counselors and state-of-the-art ultrasound. We must instruct and inspire hundreds of churches and thousands of Christians as to the need and the wonderful opportunity before us. So pray and pass it on.

DONATE:
Start Up Gift
We are looking for seed gifts to help establish the Hialeah Clinic, to purchase Yellow Page Ads ($42,000), ultrasound and other medical equipment ($40,000). In addition we need seed gifts as we initiate the establishment of clinics in North Miami and Little Havanna. Please consider an immediate gift of support through Heartbeat of Miami's secure online giving site, a service provided by Egiving.
If you do not wish to give electronically, you may download this form (pdf) and mail it in with your donation. All checks should be made payable to Hearbeat of Miami.
Become a monthly Heart for Life Partner
We are in need of 300 people willing to pledge at least $1 a day, (less than a cup of coffee a day), or $30/month to establish our first pregnancy help clinic in Hialeah. These "Heart for Life" eGiving Partners will form the fiscal foundation we need to help women on a month to month basis.
Sign up to be a Heart for Life Partner by clicking the title above. You'll be taken to Heartbeat of Miami's secure online giving site, service provided by Egiving.
If you do not wish to give electronically, you may download this form (pdf) and mail it in with your donation. All checks should be made payable to Heartbeat of Miami.
If the best and most effective location for us to open in Hialeah costs $50,000 to lease and refurbish, and we staff it with a Nurse Manager to provide the ultrasounds and work with our volunteers, who in turn work month in and month out with our new mothers, then we NEED you to help month in and month out with a modest but dependable monthly gift of support. Please make the pledge with me if you have not done so. If you have, please ask ONE other friend to join you as a Heart for Life eGiving partner of the Heartbeat of Miami.
Lord, give us 300 people with a heart for life; people with a willing spirit of sacrifice- to fight the greatest evil of our generation in one of the neediest places in our country. You, declared, "Where your treasure is, there your heart is also" (Matthew 6:21). Give us sacrificial hearts for the Heartbeat of Miami!
