Gateway Pregnancy Centers
LIFETIMES For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Volume 21 Number 2 Psalm 139:13 Summer 2011
Devout, yet defeated
Haneefa (name changed for her protection) has a few small children. She lives in an Islamic Center in the Midwest Her husband was deported a few years ago for making anti-American statements. She recently went to Planned Parenthood thinking she was pregnant. They encouraged her to chemically abort the baby. She adamantly refused because she is Muslim. The father of the baby, whom she met at work is also Muslim but demanded she abort. She refused. Haneefa found Gateway on the internet. She knew we were Christian. She asked for help in relocating her and her children and helping her to place her baby in a Muslim home. We offered to try to secure housing in the northern NJ area. We interfaced with Muslims and nonMuslims. Weve had numerous opportunities to share Christ with her. She fears her pregnancy will be found out in her tight knit Muslim community. I could get killed for this!. She believes she most certainly would be killed in an Islamic country. We shared with her Jesus encounter with the woman caught in adultery in John chapter 8:10-11. We encouraged her to trust Jesus who would forgive her. and not condemn her. Haneefa insists Islam is not a religion, but a way of life. When a Shia Muslim woman was referred to us in hopes of adopting the child, she categorically refused upon hearing of the circumstances surrounding the conception. I dont want the baby she said, insisting that her devoutness prohibited her from taking the child. Haneefah grew up in America, the daughter of a Catholic woman and Muslim father. She has bounced from motels to homeless shelters. At age 17, devout Pakistanis adopted her. She is a confused and conflicted woman. We put Haneefa in touch with a Christian ministry helping Muslims. She rejected them. (Haneefas story continues on p. 2)
