Letters From the Community

Voices of Transformation

Each letter represents a journey from pain to peace — real people sharing the restoration they found through this ministry.

In 1979 at the age of 19 I had an abortion and although I had received forgiveness from God for what I had done, it wasn’t until a few years ago when I participated in a Rachel Cry Bible study that real freedom, forgiveness and closure came to me. This ministry helped me to truly release forgiveness to myself and to see that I have a child in Heaven waiting for me. Thank you to Lynne and Rachel’s Cry for loving me into more healing the Lord had for me in regard to this. I can truly say after 40 years I found a freedom and letting go that I did not realize I needed until doing this Bible study.

I knew of Rachel’s Cry ministry and thought it was such a beautiful ministry. It was such a raw place for me to come to in person though because of digging up an old wound. However, I am truly thankful that I did. Whether you have lost a baby through miscarriage, abortion, or both. Or through the pain of still birth — they will intimately walk with you through healing. Each step and the time was so intentional and Holy Spirit led. I am truly grateful to have gone through the process of inner healing with Rachel’s Cry. May many more hearts find that there is no shame and know that they’re not alone in walking through their pain. Jesus is there all the way, and He has brought people to love you while you heal.

My experience with Rachel’s Cry was my first experience with abortion recovery. To say that my anxiety and feelings were all over the place was an understatement. I second guessed my desire to reach out for help and even though perhaps this might be a set up to identify and punish women like me. Thank God for Miss Lynne. From the first time she reached out, all she exuded was love. The love of Jesus towards a woman who felt so undeserving. She was kind, showed no judgement and made me feel like I had made a good first step towards my healing. Miss Lynne created a safe space for me to open up, cry, laugh, heal what was and embrace what is to come. And she brought me chocolate LOL. I’m truly grateful for our time together and for the hope that she helped restore in me. My healing journey is far from over, but I’m thankful that my first steps were with Miss Lynne and Rachel’s Cry.

My husband and I have experienced 2 miscarriages. The loss is real and hard and unfortunately not talked about a lot even in most churches that I’ve experienced. The pain usually arises again when you hear about someone else’s loss. When Lynn approached us about having this special time of prayer, Remembrance & healing — we jumped on it! It was truly a special and reverent time for us to honor our children that we believe are with the Lord and we will be reunited with them one day. It has helped me move beyond the pain. I feel I am truly more about to minister to other women that I encounter now that have gone through this loss. 💜
