Care Net’s Pregnancy Decision Line Coaches Sow the Seeds of the Gospel “

35% of PDL callers engage in a spiritual conversation

687 PDL prayer partners are praying for these callers

I have a caller I have been speaking with for a couple of weeks. I was able to get her booked at a pregnancy center where she got an ultrasound. I have had spiritual conversations and prayed over her during our calls. Today when we spoke she said she is still undecided but has not scheduled an abortion. God opened the door for deeper spiritual conversation and she acknowledged that she considers herself spiritual, believes in God, but has never made a decision to follow Christ. I explained the Gospel to her, and I am pleased to tell you that she prayed a prayer of repentance and salvation today!

Care Net provides Gospel Focused training to its network of Pregnancy Centers

GOSPEL COMPASSION

“This

course had a good mixture of encouragement and instruction, yet ultimately tied back to the purpose of serving God and the importance of sharing the Gospel”

COMPASSION, HOPE, AND HELP

“I learned a lot, especially that pregnancy centers are much more than just pro-life. Their true mission is to share the gospel and help people in more ways than I even knew.”

Care Net Connects Pregnancy Center Clients to Churches for Discipleship

Embraced by the Church

Kari and Andy visited Life Choices Pregnancy Center with an unplanned pregnancy. After choosing life, they signed up for parenting classes. But their story didn’t end there. As a Care Net affiliate, Life Choices seeks to connect clients to local churches for discipleship and ongoing support. They encourage their church partners to use Care Net’s Making Life Disciples training program. One of the pastors reached out and asked how his church could help.

Here’s what happened next:

“We were happy to connect the pastor to Kari and Andy, who had recently lost his job, and were several months behind in their rent. The pastor met with the young couple, and on behalf of the church, offered to cover what they needed to make up their rent. Shortly after, Andy was able to find a new, full-time job to provide for his family. The couple expressed interest in attending church, so the pastor arranged transportation since they did not own a vehicle.

Life Choices’ Executive Director, Men’s Ministry Director, and Care Net’s Senior Manager of Fatherhood & Family Programming

Two different couples from the church took turns transporting the family to church, and Kari began attending every Sunday. Andy was unable to attend due to work, so the pastor began going to their apartment on his day off to do a Bible study, taking the church to them. Andy and Kari are now engaged and committed to their relationship and family.

Kari and their baby are still attending church regularly, ten months later, deepening her faith in Christ and connecting with other women in the church; and Andy has maintained steady employment and is growing in his understanding of Christ.”
