Heartbeat International serves as the leadership and resource supply line for its ever-growing Pregnancy HELP Centers worldwide. April 2-5, hundreds of pregnancy center directors, supporters, volunteers, affiliates, and support organizations (like us who serve in these pro-life ministries) attended their annual conference in Dallas.
Although participants were refreshed and renewed with great food, inspiring music, and communal worship services, they were also soberly reminded that the task is difficult. They cannot take the cross out of the cross-bearing work that they do, and so they must make peace with the hardship of their ministry.
One of the more poignant messages came from a minister from Liberia, “If you want to go fast then go alone. If you want to go far, then go together.”
Those working in pro-life know they must go far and they accept the hardships of their ministries. We were there to let them to know that, with the Stewardship Foundation by their side, they need not go alone.
As you know, we encourage ethically responsible nonprofits to partner with us. We provide the tools and resources needed by individuals and businesses who are eager to invest beyond the cash donation.
Heartbeat affiliates and all pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom nonprofits need not walk alone in their search for
transformational gifts. We are here, intent on walking with them. Will you let us walk farther with you?
When then-President Clinton passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1993, the Senate just as overwhelmingly voted to define marriage as a “union of one man and one woman.” Clearly, we are seeing a paradigm shift in moral values.
