There are many ways to be a champion for life, and one of them is providing a woman in an unplanned pregnancy a “window” into the world of the child she is carrying. This is the intent of the Psalm 139 Project –to aid pregnancy resource centers in securing ultrasound machines.

Ultrasound Machine Placements

Your generosity is making a huge difference in this world. Use this map to see where we have placed ultrasound machines through your giving.

Most women in an unplanned pregnancy who are given a glimpse of the life within them choose life.

However, this is only possible when women can go to a pregnancy center with an ultrasound machine. Sonogram machines are expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars. Many pregnancy resource centers operate on a tight budget and the Psalm 139 Project is pleased to partner with these centers to provide equipment or cover expenses for training medical staff to receive the certification to perform ultrasound scans.

Baptist Cooperation

Across State Lines

The Psalm 139 Project places ultrasound machines in pregnancy resource centers so that mothers can see the life growing inside them and choose hope. Now, through a new initiative called Across State Lines, Southern Baptists are partnering together in a new way. Churches and state conventions in pro-life states are working with pregnancy centers in pro-choice states—places where the need for life-saving resources is often greatest. Across State Lines reflects the heart of Baptist cooperation: believers working together across the country so that more mothers can hear their baby’s heartbeat and choose life.

Partnership

The first Across State Lines partnership brought together Alabama Baptists and the Alaska Baptist Resource Network to place an ultrasound machine at a pregnancy center in Anchorage.

More recently, Baptists from several states joined together to place a machine in Vermont, serving women and families in one of the most abortion-permissive states in the country.

“As a pastor in a state where abortion is tragically so readily available, I’m thrilled that the ERLC’s Psalm 139 Project has placed an ultrasound machine in our local pregnancy resource center. It’s especially encouraging that Southern Baptist brothers and sisters in faraway places have teamed up to make this possible.”
