Act of Life in Florida...AGAIN

Celebrate with us! A recent trip to Florida marked the third time we have taken our training there in two years!

May 2009 – Tampa
September 2009 - Orlando
October 2010 – Leesburg


God is opening doors and fostering relationships with many people in the Sunshine State.

October 7-9 I went to speak at the "Sound the Call" Conference for the Florida Baptist Children's Homes. The conference, with the theme of "For His Glory", was held at the lovely Lake Yale Conference Center in Leesburg. The plenary and breakout sessions provided training, worship and encouragement for the more than 230 pregnancy center staff and volunteers in attendance from across the state. What an honor to join people like Pastor Andy Merritt, Sol Pitchon, Mary Lou Hendry and others who have been serving pregnancy centers for decades.

One of our goals is to return to Florida with our full day training in 2011. Several pregnancy centers and adoption agencies are working together to host a joint event. Please pray for this effort as plans move forward. If you would like to know more about how you can help us reach this goal please contact our office at 713.991.LIFE (5433).

Upon our return, we trained an additional 11 pregnancy counselors for the Pregnancy Assistance Center North (PACN) in The Woodlands, Texas, on Friday October 15. We thoroughly enjoy interacting with these ministries as they provide essential education and assistance to people experiencing unplanned pregnancies. PACN is a prime example of ministry excellence, and we are grateful to have a wonderful working relationship with them.

It is exciting to see the Lord expand our territory and continue to offer opportunity to educate, encourage and equip people with tools to present adoption in the counseling room. You are helping us make an impact! Thank you for your support.

Don't forget our Celebration of Life event is approaching quickly... November 11, to be exact. Be sure to check our website for details about how you can join us as we hear a special message from Ryan Dobson, son of Focus on the Family Founder, James Dobson. We will be sharing all sorts of ways God is using Act of Life to build the Body of Christ as we serve others in His love.

Blessed to be a part,
Julie
