THE NEED FOR RAMAH INTERNATIONAL IS BASED ON JEREMIAH 31: 15
“A voice is heard in Ramah - mourning and great weeping. Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because her children are no more.“

The research arm of Planned Parenthood (the world's largest abortion provider), the Alan Guttmacher Institute, states that, “An estimated 33% of women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old” (“Facts in Brief: Induced Abortion,” The Alan Guttmacher Institute, Washington‚ DC‚ January‚ 2009).

Clearly, the post abortive represent a large segment of our society. Yet few confess to this sin - especially to family and friends. Many deny comfort because they fear rejection and/or are unable to confront their own participation in ending their child’s life. Except for a handful of small ministry efforts offered through our nation’s 2,500 pregnancy care centers and direct ministries, little is being done to reach these hearts with forgiveness and healing comfort available through Jesus Christ.

THE SOLUTION RAMAH INTERNATIONAL CAN PROVIDE OUR WORLD
“This is what the Lord says, 'restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears. For your work will be rewarded. Your children will return from the land of the enemy.” (Jeremiah 31: 16)

Ramah International's purpose is to bring individuals struggling with Abortion PTSD to healing so they can cease mourning by finally grieving their children's deaths and live a normal life. It's heartbreaking work to touch this pain, yet helping them to acknowledge the loss of their children is the first step to PAS healing, and their “work will be rewarded.” When a person suffering from PAS names their child, the child becomes a permanent part of their parent's hearts. In essence, they are redeemed from Satan's grasp and “return from the land of the enemy.”

THE RESULT OF RAMAH INTERNATIONAL'S WORK
“So there is hope for your future, declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 31: 17a)

What is the hope for someone suffering after an abortion? For many, it is to stop abortion from wounding other lives. Ramah believes that it is only through the healed voices of the post abortive attesting to the devastation abortion causes that it can finally be reduced. Post abortive individuals are the only ones who can attest to the fact that abortion is a horrible choice - not only for the mother but also for the child.
