At our Gala a few weeks ago, Stephanie Gray communicated the why and how of pregnancy center ministry using the words "love unleashes life."

I am convinced that we are most like Jesus when we respond with compassion toward those who are vulnerable, voiceless or misled. As Christ-followers, we want to be people who run to those in need, facing what seem to be impossible circumstances. We want to stand arms stretched wide, ready to offer grace and hope.

We want to come alongside women and families in their most difficult moments because it's in those very moments we are able to best minister the love of Christ...and it's that kind of love that unleashes life!
