A NEW SONG - Support Counseling for Abortion Recovery, Unplanned Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Adoption

"They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."   Isaiah 61:3 RECOVERY & HEALING TESTIMONIES:    - "I went through the healing and recovery to make sure that nothing from my past choice of abortion was lingering.  I knew that God was leading me into ministry to encourage others as they seek healing and restoration from their own pain and loss.  I thought because God had placed this ministry on my heart that I was surely completely freed from any past pain.  What I learned was that I had buried much anger and self condemnation for over 26 years.  I had been unaware for most of my life of how denying my grief had affected me, my marriage, my family, and my relationship with my God. I began to recognize that I had not forgiven myself and others.  I realized that I had not accepted the forgiveness that God freely offers.  In Isaiah 40:3-5, we learn that in order to make way for the Lord in the desert places, we have to remove obstacles.   That's what I had to do - release my pain and unforgivenss so Jesus could come in and do His healing work in my life. I now know that I have a daughter in heaven.  She is no longer just an aborted baby; she is my daughter and I call her Charity." -- Ann Younger, Founder and Director, A New Song, Support Counseling  - "Forgiven." ...anonymous - "Going to the Bible and reading scriptures, I always felt God's healing touch." ...Group Participant - "It helped just having someone to talk it all out with."...BR - "God changed me"...HB - "I now talk to God face to face."...DH - "I'm free!

PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL REFERENCES:      "Ann Younger is a beautiful picture of a woman that has experienced the healing hand of God in her life. He has taken the painful parts of her past and not only healed them, but He's using them to heal others. Ann's heartbeat is to allow God to use her in any way He sees fit to bring about healing in the lives of other women who have also suffered the crippling effects of abortion in their lives. What a gift of God to have someone like Ann to share her journey of healing with us."      - Laura Seifert, Pastor of Women’s Ministry, Friendswood Community Church  *********************************** After speaking with a High School Youth Group:     “I thought what you shared was very good.  You were open, vulnerable and approachable.  That is huge when talking to teenagers...they see right through people with hidden agendas, what they saw with you was a person who cared about them and made herself available to them."           "Thanks again, Ann, for sharing your life and message of hope with our students!”   - Richard Logan, Pastor of Student Ministries, River Pointe Church, Richmond, TX ***********************************  "Ann Younger has a heart for those of us who need healing from past hurts in our lives. It would be difficult to find a more empathetic person who cares deeply for those in emotional pain resulting from the decision of abortion. Ann uses her gifts to help both young and old people be courageous enough to talk about some of the hard things and circumstances of life, including abortion."       "Ann is a living testimony of how past personal choices do not have to continue to cause such deep emotional anguish. She gives hope to every audience and every person she meets.              - Sara Thurman,EdD, Middle School Principal, FBISD ***********************************       "It is with pleasure that I recommend Ann Younger as a successful communicator of caring, compassionate and very informative ministry.  My experience with Ann goes back over the past several years.  Our relationship has evolved from one of my wife’s friends to that of one of my friends.  I am also her pastor in her home church."       "In my role as pastor, I interact with adults all the time. I work with many who have minimal leadership strengths and a few who have outstanding leadership qualities.  Ann is one of the few."             "She has outstanding communication skills, the ability to persuade someone to understand and appreciate her perspective on issues, and a rare ability to listen to an opposing view and counter that view while not making the other person feel attacked or rebuked.  She is of the utmost level of integrity, extremely focused on “the right thing” to do in a situation."          "I would strongly encourage any organization to include Ann Younger."  -Matt Barnhill, Pastor of Family Ministries, River Pointe Church, Richmond, TX.
