FRCZ Baby Bottle Campaign 2022 #FRCZBBC2022 What a wonderful way for a friendly competition! We are reaching out to our donors whether families, groups or churches and asking you to participate in our 2022 Baby Bottle Campaign. During the month of January we are asking that you rally your team and enter this challenge to see who will be the 2022 BBC Champion. Last Year, Christian Assembly in Zion, won the bragging rights and a wonderful basket full of thank you items. We have a goal of $5,000.00. We will host a virtual campaign annually. This will give you, our donors, the opportunity to add an online aspect to your in person campaign. How does this work? It’s as easy as 1,2,3! 1. Choose a date to hold your campaign 2. Pick up bottles from FRCZ and distribute to your members. 3. Collect the bottle & return them to FRCZ So what’s new? You now have an online option already set up! When you pick up your bottles, you will be given posters and other media to support your campaign. This will include a URL for your direct link to the fundraiser. Donate, copy & SHARE! It covers all bases. Thank you for your ongoing support!

Ultrasound Program Update What are we doing? We are changing the world one model at a time! Our nurses have completed their training and we are seeing pregnant moms as models. With each model, the scans are sent to our doctors and our ultrasound trainer for critiquing. The nurses are not officially certified because they require more hands on time. We are still able to reach abortion minded women. We are able to continue our original policies for pregnancy tests and offer the client an opportunity to be a model for our sonographers. All of the conversations are had, all information is shared and the entire appointment is bathed in prayer. If you know of a mom in her first trimester, that would like a FREE ULTRASOUND, please have her contact the center.
We would like to express a heart felt thank
