Hope For The Heart Expands Outreach to Almost 2400 Pregnancy Resource Centers at Home and Abroad
Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Hope For the Heart is extending its reach to nearly 2,400 pregnancy resource centers in the United States and Canada and more than 250 affiliate centers in 18 countries around the world.
In light of Washington’s most recent
legislation, HOPE
FOR THE HEART offers free
biblically-based training and counseling materials and practical alternatives to
women who are in an unplanned pregnancy.
“With the current economic
climate, finances are a big concern for pregnant women. By offering free
training and teaching materials, pregnancy resource centers can reallocate more funds to the important physical needs of
expectant mothers such as pre-natal vitamins, diapers and the many needs of
newborns,” said Jack McNairy, Vice President of Ministry Outreach for Hope For
The Heart.
Since its inception, the
ministry has provided more than $775,000 in educational materials free of
charge. This year, Hope For The Heart is providing its newest training
materials called “Lifelines for Living” as a way for expectant mothers to earn
“baby bucks” or “mommy money” for attending parental education programs through
the resource centers. By attending these
training sessions, they can earn credits towards items they can use in the care
of their newborns.
According to June Hunt, founder,
CEO and CSO (Chief Servant Officer) of the ministry, “Every day we receive
testimonials about how our Biblical Counseling Keys are having a positive
impact on visitors of the centers and how lives are being saved because women
understand they still have choices, in spite of an unplanned pregnancy.”
