For most of our history, First Image has been providing Jesus centered support to women who have experienced abortion. It’s been a critical part of our work. We believe it’s deeply important that we are involved in the redemptive work of God in the lives of people who have been seriously hurt by participation in abortion.
We are committed to supporting post-abortive women in our region through the Kindred Network. We have partnered with three incredible women leading ministries to post-abortive women and men in greater Portland. Each of these women have their own stories of redemption and either went through or were trained in our own program.

Redeemed
Becki Herbert | Hillsboro, OR
Redeemed is a confidential, compassionate, and judgement-free ministry where women who have been directly impacted by abortion can share their stories, realizing they are not alone. It’s a time to allow God to heal their hearts, and it’s an opportunity for women to grieve the loss of their child.
