A Baby's Life Saved in Colombia: How Your Support Makes a Difference

Written by Melissa Heiland - Executive Director




Yesterday, a life was saved.

In a small pregnancy center in Colombia, a mother came in for her first ultrasound appointment. She was uncertain, overwhelmed, and leaning toward a difficult decision. But when the doctor turned on the ultrasound machine and the screen lit up, everything changed. She saw her baby—a tiny beating heart, undeniable proof of life.

In that moment, she chose life for her child.

This incredible story is a direct result of God’s grace and the work of Beautiful Feet International. That ultrasound machine, which allowed this mother to see her baby, was sent to Colombia just a few weeks ago. It’s now being used at a new center with a vision to reach countless women across the country.

The center’s director is passionate about creating a network of pregnancy ministries throughout Colombia, providing life-affirming care and resources to women in need. With the help of our Speak Life Training program and the generosity of donors, this vision is becoming a reality. And yesterday’s life-saving moment was just the beginning.

A Testament to God’s Faithfulness

Each time a mother chooses life, it’s a reminder of God’s power to work through His people. Stories like this one don’t happen by chance—they’re the result of prayer, faithful giving, and God’s hand at work.

When we sent the ultrasound machine to Colombia, we prayed it would be used to save lives. Yesterday, we saw the fruit of those prayers. It’s moments like these that keep us going, even when the work feels hard or progress seems slow.

The Power of Seeing Life

There’s something extraordinary about seeing a baby on an ultrasound screen. It makes the unseen visible and the abstract tangible. For many mothers, it’s the moment they truly connect with the life growing inside them.

That’s why tools like ultrasound machines are so vital to pregnancy ministries. They give mothers a chance to see the beauty and reality of the life within them, often leading to life-affirming decisions.

Your Role in This Miracle

The ultrasound machine in Colombia—and the life it saved—was made possible because of people like you. Your prayers, your giving, and your support are changing lives in ways you may never fully know.

It’s easy to underestimate the impact of small acts of faith, but God uses every prayer and every gift to accomplish His purposes. Yesterday’s story is proof that your involvement matters.

A Vision for Colombia

This new pregnancy center in Colombia is just the beginning. The director leading the center dreams of opening many more throughout the country, creating a network of care that reaches women in every community. She is passionate about not only saving lives but also sharing the hope and love of Christ with every mother she meets.

Through our Speak Life Training and the ongoing support of donors, this vision is becoming a reality. We believe God has big plans for Colombia and for every woman and child impacted by this ministry.

A Call to Action

As we celebrate this life saved in Colombia, let us also give glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the one who makes all things possible, and it is His love that compels us to act.

If you’ve been praying for or supporting this ministry, thank you. Your faithfulness is making a tangible difference. If you haven’t yet joined us, I invite you to consider how you can be part of this life-saving work.

Whether through prayer, financial support, or simply sharing this story, your involvement matters. Together, we can continue to save lives and bring hope to women around the world.

To God be the glory for the miracles He is doing every day. God bless you!
