You are the God who performs miracles. Psalm 77:14
Increasing our medical staff and advertising budget has directly resulted in lives saved and lives changed this year! Reaching abortion vulnerable women is the crucial first step to advocate for the life of the preborn child. To expand our reach, we hired a new pro-life marketing company in March, increased our spend for Google advertising and reached further into social media, most recently TikTok. Tracking reveals that six Facebook users and 13 Snapchat users called in July for appointments, proving the need to reach further. We have attracted 100 more women for pregnancy testing this year than last year.
The next lifesaving step is providing ultrasound services coupled with options education. By increasing our medical staff, we were able to perform 253 ultrasounds through July, an increase of 83 over the same period last year. We’re celebrating the 1,902 babies who have been saved from abortion and the parents whose lives are changed because they chose life after an ultrasound at Care Net.
Another essential step to support a life choice is equipping moms and dads through parenting classes taught by caring volunteer mentors. Participation in Care Net’s incentivized educational programs has risen 65%.
I am deeply grateful for your prayer and financial support of Care Net’s ministry. Many of you already participate in such unique opportunities as steady monthly donations, legacy gifts, special gifts and our Champions for Life Society. Together, we uphold the sanctity of human life in a most practical way. Often that means bringing out the confidence young women and men don’t even know they have, as you’ll read in this issue’s client story.
