Are you in need of encouragement?
Would you like to receive training to sharpen your skills in ministry?
You need to attend Texas Life Connections (TLC) Life Saving 201!
When: February 6, 2010 from 9 am - 4:15 pm.
Where: Houston's First Baptist Church
Fee: $25 includes lunch. What a deal!
With this event, Texas Life Connections seeks to provide sound training and spiritual encouragement for people serving in life ministries. While opportunities exist for national annual conferences many are unable to attend. TLC is bringing a compact conference experience to you. Plus, the fee is so reasonable you cannot afford to miss it!
3 General Sessions will be offered by speakers:
Dr. Julie Parton (Texas Life Connections),
Destiny Cortez (WPC Houston)
Julie Stobbe (Act of Life)
Relevant breakout sessions will focus on evangelism training, praying with power, post-abortive clients, healthy sexuality, and understanding the relationship between sexual abuse and abortion.
As one who participated in the TLC event in Dallas last summer, I can tell you I was encouraged, sharpened and challenged in my walk with Christ and in my role in ministry.
Let's bear in mind we have unique circumstances in Houston surrounding the opening of North America's largest abortion facility here later this year. This should motivate us into action. Take advantage of this opportunity to get equipped. You will reach more women through the love of Christ with critical tools to assist and support them with their decisions.
Click here to register. You will not want to miss this unique gathering with your fellow co-laborers. Do not delay ~ Make plans today!
See you there,
Julie

Lifetime Adoptions
Through my work with Act of Life I encounter many people and many agencies. Every now and then there will be a person or a group that really grabs my attention. This is the case with Lifetime Adoption in California.
I first met two Lifetime staff members Libby and Heather during an adoption breakout session I was leading at a CareNet conference in Atlanta, GA in October 2008. We had a great time chatting after the seminar and then continued to run into each other throughout the remainder of the conference. What a joy to spend time with two ladies who are so passionate about adoption!
Since then I have had the opportunity to learn more about Lifetime. I have seen the impact they have made on thousands of birth mothers, adoptive parents and precious children. How fitting a time to feature the work of this fine organization while our nation currently highlights Sanctity of Human Life month.
Take a moment to watch this video and learn how Lifetime is making a difference each and every day.
Celebrate Life! Celebrate Adoption! Celebrate the legacy adoption affords!
Blessings for a great day,
Julie
