Show Notes

Rachel's Vineyard is a healing ministry for those who are suffering from the trauma of abortion, or have been closely connected to someone who is - whether they're siblings, grandparents, aunts, cousins. Rachel's Vineyard recognises that abortion impacts the wider family and community. The organisation also supports those that have worked in the abortion industry and struggle with the part they have played in abortion decisions.

Rachel Mckenzie is the director of the Birmingham-based charity and spoke to us back in June 2022 about the ministry and the growing numbers of people seeking help:

"I tell them firstly that they're not alone and that they are already loved, and they can get forgiveness, they haven't committed the unforgivable sin and they just need a place where they can work through that pain and be supported along the way."

Post abortion trauma is central to the theme of Day for Life 2023.
