How can churches become even more engaged in pro-life ministry? Life Matters Worldwide connects churches with pregnancy care centers.

1. Pro-Life
Ministry
Engagement
Model

2. What We
Have Learned
Carry one another’s
burdens; in this way
you will fulfill the
law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
This is God’s ministry
• We are all His children.
• There is specific work to be done.
Survey sent to pro-life ministries
• We had been assuming their needs; so we asked
them what their needs are.
• We see this as a full “physical exam” of the
ministry.
This is what they told us
• The majority feel alone in their work; unsupported or
disconnected from local churches.
• They are needed resources that have gone unnoticed, but
attainable.

3. Building Community Around PCCs
The Summit PCC Leadership Day Virtual Community
• Free web-based
conference calls; for
groups of almost any
size
• Video and audio for all
parties on the call,
through Zoom
• Brings those who cannot
attend into fellowship
with associates
• One-day conference in
November
• Emphasis on spiritual
uplift
• Pastoral input
• Low-cost for centers that
can’t afford The Summit
• May 14-15 at Maranatha
Bible & Missionary
Conference
• Workshops & plenary
sessions
• Emphasis on prayer and
relationship-building

4. What It Is
This is a working model that connects a
pro-life ministry with its local churches.
We seek to assist pro-life ministries by
connecting them with life-honoring
local churches, who agree to support
the ministry in more engaging ways.

5. The Goal
To see pro-life ministries:
• with no shortage of staff, volunteers, or
funding
• with direct access into local churches to
communicate their message and mission
• staff feeling loved, supported, and cared
for by their local congregations
• churches become more fully engaged in
their local pro-life ministry

6. How It Works
Connect with local churches to express the
opportunity for a greater impact on the
ministry and community.
We work alongside the ministry to identify
needs and assess current church
involvement.
