Morningside Celebrates Lori’s House Grand Opening!

Psalm 139:13-16 13 You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb.14 I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! My very self you know 15 My bones are not hidden from you,When I was being made in secret,fashioned in the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes saw me unformed; in your book all are written down, my days were shaped, before one came to be.

The Grand Opening of Lori’s House was a celebration full of smiles and true thankfulness to God and all that have donated, worked thousands of hours, encouraged and prayed!  On July 4th, almost 4 years to the day of its dedication, Lori’s House opened it’s doors to saving lives!

“What better day to dedicate a home that encourages life and renewing!  It has been a long road to opening this wonderful place for young pregnant women to go and have their babies instead of aborting them,”  Pastor Jim Bakker commented. “Lori warned me that there would be warfare. And there truly was, but we made it and we will cut the ribbon today!  God is on our side!!”

Lori Bakker thanked the many people who have had a part in this miracle remembering the amazing people who have donated with such generosity and believe in this cause.  She thanked the many who have prayed daily for this ministry and the staff and volunteers that have worked non-stop. “Tammy Sue Bakker has held this vision all along and made sure it came to pass.  With the amazing help from our forewoman, Daina Martin and her incredible staff this beautiful home has been made possible!

Lori took a special moment to honor her mother, Char Graham.  “ You truly are the queen of my life.  Jesus is my King and my rock but my Mom has been my rock as well. Her prayers for me when I wasn’t living for God brought me through to Him and her prayers have not stopped.  There is a special place for you in heaven and I am so proud to have you as my mom! “

Lori’s house has been a ministry close to Lori’s heart.  “One of the great joys of my life is mentoring.  Moments where I can speak into another woman the love of God and the healing that can be found there. We are going to see amazing journeys.. not only are we saving babies and their brave young mothers,  but we will be witnessing post abortive women being healed through ‘Mourning to Joy!’  We will be training up true women of God!”

Before stepping up to cut the ribbon with Lori and their granddaughter Olivia, Pastor spoke to the crowd.  “God has His hands on this ministry.  We pray for all of you every day! We pray for our employees and the staff of Lori’s House.  We pray for our volunteers and for our supporters!  God has set you apart for a worldwide ministry that nobody else is doing and we stand together as one!” he declared.  “ Children are our heritage.  We dedicate Lori’s House to the Glory of God!”

  1. We are so very excited that Lori’s house is open! We were unable to join you during the celebration, but we will be coming to the August EXPO. One of the things I want to do is stand outside and pray for the young ladies who will be coming soon. We are so glad to have been a part. Love you always!

  5. What a joy to participate in the Opening of Lori’s House on Saturday! From the picnic on the grounds while visiting with new friends, to the actual ribbon cutting and tour through the beautifully furnished home, celebration filled the Morningside air! The course was STAYED and the vision COMPLETED! Praise the Lord.
    The journey now continues as young mothers are welcomed, bringing forth their precious gifts from God! The house
    will truly become a home. Our prayers and support will continue to be with Jim and Lori as they oversee what God has given.

    • Hi Nancy, part of Lori’s House mission is to bring hope and healing for post aborted women. However at this time we do not have a set date as to when those services will begin. Feel free to email info@lorishouse.org so the staff can keep you informed on this.

  6. Praise the LORD ! LORD bless Jim Bakker Ministry, all affiliated and all who step through the doors of this precious place. LORD continue to bless the Body of Christ always and forever.

    Congratulations dear Lori especially and all at Morningside ; my LORD all the children you have now and for always !
    Love in Christ
