Missions

Ryan and Kerry Ast serve with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where they are pioneering a new YWAM location. They serve as base directors to a small team of staff. They serve the local churches and run a community center for local youth. They also host short-term teams from other bases. They plan to start running training schools in September of 2020. Their main passion is Bible teaching. They have a 4-year-old son named Jude. 

Compassion & Hope Pregnancy Center was the aspiration of two women in the Pocatello Community. These women were desiring to volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center where they could help make a difference in women's lives.

All that time, in our area and the surrounding area, there were no facilities available. They decided to look into starting a crisis pregnancy center on their own. After much research they chose to affiliate with Care Net, an organization responsible for starting over 1200 pregnancy centers in the U.S. On November 14, 2011, Compassion & Hope Pregnancy Center became a reality.

We are a 501 c(3) and are not affiliated with any government agency. We depend solely on the community and individuals for support. All of our services are free and confidential. We want to serve the women and men in our community who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy and provide them with positive alternatives.
