Supporting Sola Gratia Vita Counseling Ministry
Bringing Hope and Healing to Families in Their Deepest Moments of Need
There are moments in life when grief, fear, and uncertainty press in—when the weight of pregnancy loss, infertility, or perinatal trauma feels unbearable. Too often, mothers and couples in these seasons suffer in silence, unsure where to turn for help that speaks to both their heart and their faith.
At Sola Gratia Vita, we step into that space of sorrow with the light of Christ. We are a nonprofit counseling ministry that provides compassionate, prayer-centered support at no cost to mothers and couples facing reproductive/perinatal loss, trauma, and crisis. We serve as a bridge between the Church and medical providers, ensuring that none of their cared-for walk alone through their pain.
Why We Need Your Help
As a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on donations to sustain this work. Your generosity directly supports:
- Free individual counseling, support groups, and couple-to-couple mentoring for those navigating grief and trauma.
- Training and equipping both our team and our partners in healthcare and Church to better serve families in crisis.
- Providing essential resources that bring Christ-centered hope and healing to those we serve.
- Administrative costs (insurance, business filings, etc.) that keep our ministry running.
- Community outreach and collaboration to extend holistic care to families.
The Impact of Your Gift
Your donation isn’t just financial—it’s transformational.
- $50 – Helps provide essential resources and support for a mother in need.
- $60 – Covers a support group session for a grieving mother.
- $75 – Funds a one-on-one soul care session for someone in crisis.
- $125 – Provides a couple-to-couple mentoring session, strengthening a marriage in a difficult season.
- $250 – Equips churches and healthcare providers with training to better serve families.
- $500+ – Helps sustain our ministry’s outreach, allowing us to serve multiple families with long-term care.
Every gift, large or small, is a seed planted in faith, and we trust that God will multiply what you give to accomplish far more than we can imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
Join This Kingdom Work
We are praying for monthly partners and annual givers to come alongside us as we walk with mothers and couples in their time of greatest need. Would you prayerfully consider being part of this mission?
If you can’t give at this time, please pray for the women and couples we serve, and share our campaign with others who might feel led to support.
With love and grace,

Hours Left and Praying for Partners!
February 27th, 2025
Dear friend,
As we enter the final hours of our February fundraiser "With Love and Grace", we are filled with gratitude for the outpouring of support we’ve received. Every prayer, donation, and word of encouragement has been a reminder of God’s faithfulness as we walk forward in this ministry.
We are now just $1,850 away from our goal, and we are praying specifically for:
1 friend to give $500
2 friends to give $250
4 friends to give $150
8 friends to give $50
Would you consider joining us in this final push? Your gift, no matter the amount, makes a real impact in providing soul care and biblical mentorship to families walking through deep grief.
As we look beyond this fundraiser, we continue to humbly trust God with expectant anticipation to sustain this ministry through ongoing monthly support. "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19
We finish another month of coming alongside our faithful counselees (6 women and 1 husband in February), humbled by the Holy Spirit's leading a dozen sessions with themes of His steadfast love (Psalm 136), and His presence alone meeting every need our soul has.
Gab was struck in a Christian Trauma Healing Network training today about the correlation through the Old and New Testaments... when God says "Fear Not" - often it is coupled with "It is I." I am with you. His presence alone. We are so thankful that HE is with our counselees in their grief, with us as we desire to help, and with YOU as you pray us on and help! Thank you for standing with us in this mission. We are excited to see how God provides in these final hours and beyond!
With deep gratitude,
Ben Hershman

February 3rd, 2025
We have delighted with you as our February fundraiser unfolds. We are so thankful for all of the encouragement and support we have received. It's been an honor to hear from those we've served and also from those who co-labor in Christ with us who have shared about this ministry's need and impact. May God be glorified.
For the first time, we are having a Donation Giveaway to meet a goal of $3000 by the end of February. Every $20 donation = 1 entry to win SWEET gifts of thanks. We are praying especially for those who want to make a lasting impact upon this ministry as DEVOTED DONORS who commit to recurring monthly support.
This month, we meditate with our counselees on Psalm 136, which reminds us of the Lord's steadfast, loyal, enduring love -hesed-. With our hearts well-aware that we need God's help to do this work... we fully rely on and trust Him to help us, meeting every need we find.
Thank you, friends of Sola Gratia Vita Ministry, for coming alongside us.
New Year Thanksgiving
January 25th, 2025
Dear Supporter,
We have so much to praise the Lord for with thanksgiving! New partnerships and your self-less giving have allowed us to meet our financial support goals up to this point. Thank you for your generous gift to Sola Gratia Vita Ministry. Your support is greatly appreciated and will help us continue our mission to support women and couples facing reproductive trauma and loss. We find it an honor to pray for our supporters as the co-laborers of our ministry. *please find tax-related information below
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. Ephesians 1:16
Reflecting on the Lord's faithful provision, we begin 2025 with renewed hope in the plans the Lord has laid ahead for us. We are completely relying upon being sustained by the support of new recurring monthly donations, larger donation matches, and continued partnerships with organizations. All donations given, big and small, will directly support our initiatives to completely support those in need and equip our partner organizations to do the same. Please keep our entire team close in prayer as we discern how to best raise support and steward our gifts well.

Giving Thanks
November 24th, 2024
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Giving thanks is often easier to do with a reminder (cue to send a thank you card after receiving a gift, prompt from parent to say thank you to a compliment, etc.) and holidays or momentous "reasons" to pause, reflect, and be thankful. May our aim, together as the Sola Gratia Vita community, be constant in prayer, being re-minded and able to keep our thoughts fixed on truth, honor, justice, purity, loveliness, and that which is commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy.
Our Counseling and Stewardship Directors have come together, being re-minded of God's love as provider and sustainer in our ministry and in our lives, as he uses your giving of gifts, talents, and prayer to serve the souls of many. This is our "giving thanks" to you, our gracious and generous givers of past, present, and those to come.
With the resources and time given to us, SGVMinistry dedicated October as a month of giving (hosting a supply drive and run) in response to hurricane needs, rather than campaigning for our own donations. As we close out November, a month of ministry to individuals and groups totaling approx. 14 women (both moms and their perinatal providers), we remember how the Lord has provided for each month of ministry up to this point, and we fully trust Him with our time and resources going forward. As we focus on being re-minded and "counseling from rest" in December, we completely trust that the Lord will entirely equip us for the work he lays before us, both spiritually and financially.
Please join us in giving thanks to God for the gifts he's already given us, and those we trust Him to give us going forward.

September: Thanks and Update!
September 28th, 2024
The encouragement and excitement spills over as we enter the month of October with inspiring partnerships and projects that prosper. Here are some reflections from our support group participants:
"I realized how common my experience was and that I was not alone. Other women were able to verbalize what I could not and put my feelings into words. It was healing."
"Thinking about my birth experience doesn’t feel as dark or heavy as it did. I also feel less anxious in many ways!"
Please see our newsletter below for details about who we served and partnered with in the last month, as well as praise for hitting our first monthly goal! We are so thankful for YOUR support!
Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:47
