Anina Cloete

I am married to Paul Cloete and we will soon be celebrating our seventh wedding anniversary. We are blessed with two beautiful sons, Stephan (6) and Anrich (4).

I was called to serve Born 2 Care and officially started in October 2008. God placed the need in my heart to share my story.

When I was 26 years old I had an abortion. I have kept this a secret in my heart for 10 years and have suffered with post abortion depression. I have been waging an internal battle to forgive myself, to accept God's forgiveness and to regain my worth before God and others. Starting to talk about my abortion, I have finally started with a large part of my healing process.

It was through my involvement with Born 2 Care that I have started to face my reality. It has forced me to deal with my emotions and broken heart. This is an uphill battle but Born 2 Care gives me a purpose. Born 2 Care allows me to serve the community with empathy and understanding.

It is amazing to see God work through me. How His love and forgiveness heals both myself and others. God used my testimony, as only He can, to help others make an informed decision.

Through God's grace he gives a busy stay-at-home-mom the time and energy to be involved in Born 2 Care's School, Hospital and Counselling Ministries.

My mere 15 months of service in Born 2 Care Pro Choice ministry has blessed me with amazing spiritual, physical and emotional growth.

God's revelations of His plans for my life are sometimes frightening, but His gentle, loving and patient ways amazes and motivates me. I can only praise Him for His love and grace.

To Paul, Stephan and Anrich; Thank you for your involvement, support, love and understanding. Thank you for sacrificing some of our family time to Born 2 Care.

To every person reading this; there is no love like God's love. Invite God to be the navigator of your life. The salvation of Jesus Christ will raise you above all circumstances and give you eternal life.

Nothing in God's kingdom comes easy. Less of me is more of Him...
