Honoring the Love of a Mother

The Pregnancy Care Center is giving supporters the opportunity to honor their mother, or another special woman in their life, by making a donation in their name to the ministry. For many the gratitude felt for the love, support, encouragement and care their mother’s showed is impossible to express in words. Many have felt a great way to say thank you to their mom is by giving a gift to the PCC to help encourage new moms toward choosing life for their babies.

One supporter wrote, “I wish to dedicate the enclosed gift, anonymously, to the Russian birth mother of my adopted granddaughter. I give thanks every day that this mother, on the other side of the world, chose life for her baby. I wish that she could know the loving family that adopted her little girl. As this isn’t possible, I hope that this message might inspire another girl to remember that, even if she is unable to keep her new baby herself, there is someone that God will provide to love and provide for that child. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

If you would like to honor your mother in a very special way this Mother’s Day contact Melissa Morrow at melissam@affirminglifeonline.org. Or if there is another special woman in your life you’d like to honor such as a mentor, grandmother, or aunt, you can do that as well. We’ll send an acknowledgement of your gift to her and all gifts will be recognized in our June Newsletter unless otherwise directed.

What People are Saying

The Pregnancy Care Centers reaches thousands of people each year with the truth regarding sexual integrity and the value of human life. We do this through programs like Choose to Wait, My Best for You and Transformed. We also offer hope through our in–center services and healing through our post-abortion bible studies. We are constantly encouraged by the great feedback we get through participants and clients. Below is what people are saying:

“Thank you for everything. I am going to stay pure until marriage.” Transformed Teen Male Participant


“I’m 17 and a virgin. When I was in 7th or 8th grade I went through Transformed and since have always wanted to save myself for marriage.” Transformed Teen Female Participant

Baby Bottles Ready to Go!




Many churches like to incorporate a Heart for Change Baby Bottle Campaign into their Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations. A Baby Bottle Campaign is a great way to involve your church in supporting local missions as well as highlighting the amazing role of Mother's and Father's in the life of a child. It's easy to do and anyone of any age can participate. Here is how it works:

1. Pregnancy Care Center supplies your church with all the baby bottles you need. (Average is one per adult). You can pick them up at one of our centers or we can deliver them to your church. The members of your congregation then take between 3-6 weeks to fill their baby bottle with spare change, cash and/or checks. At the conclusion of the campaign, the PCC will pick up the bottles, empty the change and communicate how much was collected back to your church.

2. Each bottle contains an insert that explains the purpose of the bottles and how the money raised will benefit the Pregnancy Care Center ministry. It also contains the due date of when the bottles should be returned to the church. In addition, we have bulletin inserts and announcements we can email to your church secretary to help with your promotion efforts.

3. Pregnancy Care Center staff members are always available to come to your church to share about the ministry whether in Sunday School classes or during a church service.

To sign up for a baby bottle campaign at your church or to schedule a speaker, give us a call (toll free) at 866-510-5067. We have lots of bottles ready and waiting to go to your church. Call today!
