GOSPEL PRESENTATIONS
Care Net envisions a culture where women and men faced with pregnancy decisions are transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and empowered to choose life for their unborn children and abundant life for their families.
Care Net’s Pro ABUNDANT Life Initiatives
Each of Care Net’s four strategic initiatives, illustrated below, are designed to serve the unique needs of women and men making pregnancy decisions and encourage them to fully embrace the abundant life that is found in Jesus Christ. Care Net’s four key strategies are covered and supported by our Abundant Life Prayer Network, as we seek God’s wisdom and guidance to achieve our Pro Abundant Life mission.
ABUNDANT LIFE PRAYER NETWORK
Pregnancy Decision Line (PDL) is Care Net's strategic initiative that provides immediate pregnancy decision coaching to women and men at risk for abortion. PDL coaches also offer the hope of the Gospel and connect callers to local affiliated pregnancy centers to further support a life decision.
EMERGENCY CARE
Pregnancy Centers are local, nonprofit ministries that provide compassionate support to women and men faced with difficult pregnancy decisions. Care Net provides centers with the training and resources they need to serve their local communities with excellence.
PRAYER
Care Net seeks to influence the culture by transforming hearts and minds so that regardless of what the laws are, abortion becomes unthinkable in our homes, churches, and communities.
Care Net’s goal is to turn pro ABUNDANT life passion into action.
ABUNDANT LIFE PRAYER NETWORK
Care Net is equipping churches to offer compassion, hope, help, and discipleship to women and men in their communities that are facing pregnancy decisions. Care Net also offers spiritual and emotional post-abortion recovery and care resources.

From the Center Services, Care Net University, and Conference Teams
“We offer partial scholarships for Care Net University courses, generously provided by donors like you, to our affiliated pregnancy centers that express a financial need. Financial needs can range from a center just starting out and still low on funding, to a natural disaster that caused flooding and structural damage, completely wiping out a center’s budget. On behalf of our affiliates, I want to THANK YOU for providing an opportunity to advance the professional development of pregnancy center staff who would not be able to access these learning opportunities without financial assistance.”

Bethany came to Insight Pregnancy Services looking for an abortion. A mother of 2 teenagers, getting pregnant was completely unexpected. Upon seeing the baby’s heartbeat, Bethany chose life! After choosing to carry her baby, this Care Net Affiliated Pregnancy Center continued to support her with many follow-up appointments. Bethany is a hard worker and has changed her lifestyle around to have a healthy pregnancy for both her and her baby boy. The coolest thing about this picture is that a local photographer reached out to the Pregnancy Center and had told them that God placed it on her heart to bless Bethany with a FREE maternity shoot! These pictures are from that shoot. Bethany had her sweet baby boy in May 2024!
FISCAL YEAR 2023 FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP
A Note from Care Net’s Board Chair
I have served as a Care Net board member for the last 9 years. During my tenure, I have seen up-close the work this ministry does to help pregnancy centers around the country provide Christ-centered care and compassion to those struggling with decisions surrounding an unplanned pregnancy.
Additionally, I have witnessed the expansion and amazing work of Care Net’s Pregnancy Decision Line (PDL). The PDL coaches provide compassionate, life-affirming, and medically-accurate coaching to women and men considering abortion, resulting in approximately 35% callers choosing life!
And, I have witnessed what can happen when the Church embraces unplanned pregnancies as an on-ramp to discipleship – an opportunity to go beyond just helping Care Net save the lives of the unborn, to partnering strategically with us to ensure moms and dads have the opportunity to experience abundant life found in a thriving relationship with Jesus Christ and in community with other believers. I am thrilled to see Care Net’s network of church partners continue to grow.
Friend, the numbers cited in this report don’t begin to tell the story of the impact you are helping make through your steadfast support of the sacred work of Care Net. Together, with God’s help, we are countering the culture’s destructive messages about the intrinsic value of human life and lives are being saved…both now and for eternity. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support!
TOM MASON | Care Net, Board Chair
God does not make mistakes; therefore, every beautiful human being He knits in the womb should be treated with dignity, love, and respect. Our human selfishness has blinded us to the magnificent potential of life and has confused expecting parents into believing lies. We support Care Net because they not only support these parents in tangible ways, but also offer truth and grace by sharing the message of everlasting life offered through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
