PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY DEBBIE CISSNA A packed house helped raise money for Pregnancy Care Services during the Jan. 22 Celebrate A Vision for Life banquet at the Hermiston Conference Center. Pregnancy center shares vision for the future Hermiston Herald Coming on the tail of moving into its new office space in Hermiston, Preg- nancy Care Services of Hermiston and Pendleton recently held a fundraising banquet. With a theme of Cel- ebrate A Vision for Life, Debbie Cissna, executive director of the Hermiston office, called the Jan. 22 event a success. The goal of $25,000 was eclipsed — with more than $45,000 raised by nearly 400 people in attendance. In addition, 38 people started a new monthly partnership or in- creased their current level of involvement, increasing the organization’s monthly funds by almost $1,500. A packed house filled the Hermiston Conference Center and those in atten- dance enjoyed a pork loin dinner prepared by Kathy Barnett. In addition, John Ensor, a leader, speaker and writer for the pregnan- cy help movement, was the keynote speaker for the event. Esnor’s message, Cissna said, was an impact- ful reminder that “the call to defend pre-born human life is nothing new, it’s just our turn.” With a wide base of community support, Cissna Prophetic minister to speak at Aglow The co-founder of Word to the World Ministries will share his testimony and prophetic vision during the upcoming Walla Walla Aglow Community Light- house meeting.

In addition to expanding their abstinence curriculum to area youths, they will be exploring the steps necessary to offer early ultrasound services to abortion vulnerable wom- en. The organization also hopes to reach more men with male mentors to help them learn about father- hood. Pregnancy Care Services was established in 1993 in Pendleton. It opened its Hermiston location in May 2011. The nonprofit or- ganization’s mission is to empower women and men through encouragement, support and education in making pregnancy deci- sions. “We have a whole pro- gram that is really benefi- cial for young families and free to anyone who is in- terested,” said Sara Taylor, executive director of the Pendleton office. The Hermiston office WHAT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE MY FIRST BOOK. After my 4th tour in Iraq back in November 2009, I was having a hard time shutting off the war mindset. While I struggled to keep the inner rage from war under control, I fought three years to get seen by the Mental Health Department from the United States Army . Once I established my fi rst appointment with a Psychologist I wrote a 25 page statement about my side effects from war and gave it to them a week prior to my fi rst appointment . I fi gure when you spent 6 years running back and forth to Iraq “January 2003 to November 2009” it’s hard to explain or share all your problem to a Psychologist who will only give you a 50 minute session. The 25 pages has became a book which is now on a mission to stop the 22 suicided Deaths a day amongst our fellow War Veterans. GET YOUR COPY TODAY AT: Pendleton Book Co. 125 S.
