Adoption Training @ The Source for Women Houston

“I cannot begin to thank you enough for bringing this amazing and truly enlightening training into our center today. What a blessing this has been. It has truly given our staff and volunteers further knowledge on such an important piece of the puzzle and equipped us to present adoption as an option to our clients in need. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are appreciated more than you will ever know.” – training participant

What a resounding endorsement for the full-day adoption training Act of Life provides. We thank the Lord for another opportunity to present the Biblical perspective of adoption to a group of enthusiastic men and women yesterday.
The seminar was held at The Source for Women near the Galleria, and The Gladney Center for adoption sponsored the event so there was no charge for the attendees! We extend warm thanks to both of these amazing organizations!
And hats off to Chris Wenz who stayed up late on the eve of the training to hang a screen for the PowerPoint presentation. You went above and beyond, Chris! Thank you!

How do YOU feel about adoption? Are you confident and knowledgeable to share the good news of adoption with people in your life? While this particular training is geared primarily toward pregnancy counselors we frequently have others join our seminars and remark how it has equipped them to speak about adoption outside a traditional counseling room. Equally satisfying is when some call back with stories of how the Lord used them to minister to someone in their personal lives.

Who can benefit from Act of Life's training?

* pastors, youth pastors, and staff of churches

* pregnancy counselors

* teachers
* board directors of life ministries

* maternity home staff and houseparents

* YOU

Call 713.991.LIFE (5433) to speak with someone about how to host a training in your area, or check our website for upcoming training opportunities. We have additional programs we are sure you will want to learn about as well. Whichever outreach you attend one thing is certain: you will emerge educated, encouraged and equipped!
