Infertility ~ Miscarriage
Stillbirth ~ Early Infant Death
A Word from Sandy Day… President and Founder of Caleb
Ministries along with her husband Craig.
Over
the past years I have been encouraged and blessed by seeing
God comfort the women who have been woven in and out
of Caleb Ministries and its Outreach Ministries. On August
5, 1990, while sitting in the choir at my church, God laid
on my heart a need to speak to women about their losses, especially
after the stillbirth of our son, Caleb, in 1988. My husband
and I prayed about a name for the ministry, and we both thought
of Caleb Ministries. The Ministry initially started as a speaking
ministry.
Over the years God has birthed several Outreach Ministries,
and one of them is Caleb Cares. Caleb Cares is about helping
women who have experienced infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth,
and early infant death. Over past years God has brought us
thousands of women who need the ear of a friend and the comfort
that only Jesus Christ can give them through His Word. It has
been astounding to hear the calls, emails, and letters that
we receive from women all over the world that have benefited
from our materials, books, P.A.T. Boxes and our radio programs.
We thank the Lord for His plan for this ministry and for those
who take their time to help others who have had similar losses.
If
you are reading this letter and had a loss, you may be asking
yourself some of these questions:
Infertility
How do you cope with the emotional and physical roller coaster
of trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child month after
month? Do you need help dealing with the disappointment?
Miscarriage
If you’ve had a miscarriage, are you wondering where
you’ll get the strength to try again? Is it difficult
to hope for a child when you’ve already experienced
the loss of one?
Stillbirth
Do you know what it’s like to carry a child and to
feel it move? Do you need help bearing the pain of loving
that child
in your womb and coming home with empty arms?
Early Infant Death (up to
six months)
Do you ever get over those feelings of hopelessness and paralyzed
grief? How do you know when and if the time is right to have
another child?
Caleb Cares is about helping women with these
and other kinds of questions. If you have lost your baby or
you are unable
to conceive, please know that we are here and have personally
done this web site just for you. If you have a prayer request,
please know when you send it, it will be prayed for. Also,
I have written several books that may be of encouragement to
you. We also have Caleb Chapters across the U.S., and those
can be found on this web site under Chapters and Links.
Please
know our prayers are with you during these days.
By His Grace,
Sandy
