Care-a-thon is Coming!

On Friday, the Pregnancy Care Center will be partnering with WYGS for our 5th Annual Care-a-thon.

The radio-a-thon will provide us the opportunity to be on the air the entire day to educate the WYGS listening audience about the depth of the ministry.

In addition, the Care-a-thon gives listeners the opportunity to call in to the station and make a financial gift to the ministry.

Be sure to tune in as you’ll have the opportunity to hear from staff members, board members and volunteers from all areas of the ministry.

We’ll be on the air from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. WYGS can be found on the F.M. stations: 88.1 (Versailles), 89.1 (Greensburg), 94.5 (Salem), 91.1 (Columbus), and 97.5 (Batesville). You can also listen online at http://www.wygs.org/.

Baby Bottles Galore

Did you know in 2009, the Pregnancy Care Center's Heart for Change Baby Bottle Campaign raised $71,000 for our prevention, intervention and healing services in south central Indiana?

Our goal is to raise another $64,000 in 2010 through this fundraiser. Recently, our Administrative Assistant and Baby Bottle Coordinator, Abby Glasser, answered the door to receive a palate of more than 2,000 new baby bottles. She has them ready to be sent out to area churches.

If you're not sure what the Heart for Change campaign is or how it works, here are the basics:

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. Please call Teresa Russell toll free at 866-510-5067 to schedule a speaker.

The Heart for Change Baby Bottle Campaign is a great way to involve your church in supporting local missions. It's easy to do and anyone of any age can participate. To sign up for a baby bottle campaign at your church or for more information, give Abby a call (toll free) at 866-510-5067. We have lots of bottles ready and waiting to go to your church.

Abortion Recovery for Men

The Pregnancy Care Center is now offering an abortion recovery program for men. Abortion inflicts pain on men as well as women. Men are referred to as the "silent warriors" because often times they are silent about their pain, fear, anxiety, guilt, grief, depression and anger.

Abortion affects a man’s life, oftentimes causing problems in relationships; relationships with his girlfriend or wife, children, and often times with God. We know too that sometimes he may not think about the abortion until years later, but the secret is always there.

With the Pregnancy Care Center’s abortion recovery program, the post abortive man is walked thru the stages of post abortion stress helping him move out of denial about the past into acceptance and forgiveness. Men will learn how their "father-hearts" can heal.

The study will be starting in the near future, lasts for 11 weeks, and is completely confidential. For more information, please contact Morris Nading at 812-378-6068 or via email at morrisn@pregcarecenter.org.

Turning "Stuff" Into Eternal Capital

Did you know that 91 percent of the world’s wealth is tied up in our “stuff?” Most of our wealth is in the things we own, not in our cash!

We can now help you give from your non-cash wealth.

For just a minute, think creatively. What do you have that is sitting useless… not really benefiting you, or anyone else? What if you could easily turn that “stuff” into capital for His Kingdom - treasures that will last forever?

Learn more about how to donate your stuff at our new giving website.
