Honoring the Pastors Who Stand With Us
October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and we want to pause and say something simple but heartfelt: thank you.
Pastors carry a great deal. They shepherd, counsel, teach, and pray, often with little recognition. Yet, in the midst of all that responsibility, so many of you have chosen to stand with women, men, and families facing unexpected pregnancies. For that, we are deeply grateful.
When our Baby Bottle campaign launches, it is your pulpit announcements, your bulletin inserts, and your encouragement that put bottles in the hands of your congregation. When the Walk for Life comes around, it is your voice that fills the route with walkers, families, and youth groups. And when we gather for our Celebration of Life, it is your leadership that helps fill the room with people who care about our mission.
Your partnership is changing lives. Because of the support you rally, 21 babies have been saved, we've had 1,681 client visits, and 124 people have prayed with us to receive salvation. Behind every number is a mother who felt supported, a child with a future, and a life touched by the hope of Christ.
Every bottle returned, every step walked, and every gift given reflects the trust your people place in you. Because you lead with compassion, your congregations respond with generosity. That generosity becomes free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, parenting classes, diapers, and a listening ear for those who need them most.
We never take this partnership for granted. We see the time, the care, and the quiet faithfulness behind it, and we recognize that none of this would be possible without you.
To every pastor who has opened your church doors and your hearts to our work: thank you. We are honored to serve alongside you, and we are praying for you this month and always.
In His Service,
Desirée Miller
