How To Obtain A Complimentary Hope Pack...
Please let me tell you a part of my story...
It was only a few months ago that my precious wife and I went through one of the most difficult periods of our married life.
It was the Easter weekend and we had the privilege of staying at a shack that my wife's parents own near the sea on the east coast of Tassie. As usual we were having a great time together as a family with four boisterous children and a fifth, our wonderful new arrival to be, was in mummy's tummy.
Lis (my wife) began to spot bleed and although it was concerning we didn't panic as she had a similar experience with our first. That night we prayed for the welfare of our child and I was comforted as I felt the baby move energetically in the womb, almost as if joyfully responding to my voice.
The next day unfolded in tragedy as Lis began experiencing great pain and as I rushed her to the hospital she went into a feverish labour. At the hospital we held the tiny little body of our son we called Asher. He had only been seventeen weeks in the womb.
As I stroked his little head I felt enormous loss as I wouldn't get to see him grow up, to hold him, or comfort him through the trials he would face in life. I wouldn't get to see him play with his siblings or graze his knee or take his first steps. I wouldn't know the sound of his voice or get to hear him call out 'Daddy' like my other children do. It was like someone had dropped a bomb on me and shattered my soul.
As the next days unfolded all I could do was to thank God for the family that I had, even in the midst of feeling extremely empty. When we sat at the table to eat as a family I couldn't help but feeling that we were missing something - I struggled to let my expectations for the future go.
In the place of deep brokeness I found great strength and comfort. I knew that I would indeed see my son again and it would not be that far away. There was and is an anchor of strength in my life that is a pure love gift from heaven and I have determined to pass that gift on as best as I possibly can. If you have suffered the loss of an unborn baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or especially abortion... Please let me send a love gift of hope to you. There is hope, strength to go on, and forgiveness where you feel that you may have failed. There is a chance for full restoration and a morning of joy for a shadowed soul.

Warmest regards,
Matiu
