Saving Nate

“Are you sure you won’t consider a reduction?”

The monitor beeps.

Christin Rosa is propped up on pillows in a hospital maternity ward. She’s nearly nine months pregnant and about to give birth to twins, yet she knows that one of them likely won’t survive. She and her husband, Mauricio, have been advised to reduce . . . to terminate . . . to abort “Baby A”―the tiny boy inside her―but the Rosas have decided to fight for their son’s life.

The last several months have felt like waiting for a roller coaster ride to begin, and now the Rosas are preparing for the inevitable plunge they have no way of stopping. They didn’t choose to board this ride, and they would certainly get off if they could, but they trust that God is with them. Christin and Mauricio have no choice but to cling tightly to their faith and to each other, uttering desperate prayers for help and hoping that somehow they’ll make it through.

This testimony of trusting God and overcoming medical odds includes:

inspirational, true story-driven discipleship content practical life-affirming resources and guidance regarding the issue of abortion and the value of human life Now they’re headed to the operating room, where a team of medical specialists is standing by. It’s time to have these babies. Let the ride begin.
