This month, I’ve asked Suzie Thomas, our PR/Marketing consultant, to share about a very special reunion of our ministry’s founders. It all took place as we prepared for our 40th anniversary banquet, capturing their memories in a video “time capsule.” What a treasure!
Here’s what transpired…
Yours in Christ,
Paula

I wish you could have been there.
I recently had the rare opportunity to meet with many of the founders of what has grown into the Pregnancy Support Network. For The Pregnancy & Parenting Center’s 40th Anniversary celebration banquet, the plan was to create a video, collecting the perspectives and testimonies of many of those pioneers from the early days of our ministry. Naturally, we couldn’t stop with one or two. As we searched the archives, countless names of old friends, former staff, and longtime volunteers brought floods of warm memories to mind. Many are still living and were more than happy to meet with me, sharing their chapters of the full story. Each interview with these special people was God-blessed. And, like I said, I so wish you could have been there.
Especially meaningful was time spent with those who had attended the initial Bible study/prayer meeting from which the ministry itself was born. These became much more than video clips, as God’s presence was so very evident. He was in the room with us. And it has become abundantly clear that He has always been right here with us. This ministry was His from the beginning, and we today—just as those who were called and compelled to launch it—are blessed to be vessels of His life-affirming work. As we celebrate the thousands of lives saved over the past 40 years, He already has plans for the lives of those yet to come. And we all get to be a part of it.
Certainly, that’s a cause for Praise!
For LIFE!
