Greetings!, 

 

The Life Centers Board of Directors extends our gratitude to you as we begin our 30th year of ministry.

 

Your faithful prayers and generous financial support have been an integral part of the ongoing work of saving the unborn and seeing many come to faith in Christ. It is a tremendous blessing to partner with you.

 

We also want to share an important update with you about Life Centers' executive leadership. President and CEO Brian Boone recently announced his resignation, as he accepted a new position with another ministry. The Board of Directors will be conducting a thorough search for a new president and CEO. We thank Brian for his years of service and wish him and his family God's blessings as he moves to a new work with Frontiers ministry.

 

During this transition period, Mark Pappas, Chief Operating Officer and general counsel, will be in charge of the executive leadership responsibilities. We ask for your prayers for Mark, the entire Life Centers staff, and our hundreds of dedicated volunteers during this time.

 

In 2013, Life Centers celebrates our 30th anniversary. With thanksgiving to the Lord for decades of outreach to thousands of women facing unplanned pregnancy situations, we move forward in the steadfast love of our gracious heavenly Father as we continue to reach Central Indiana for God's glory.

 

To begin this special year, we commemorate Sanctity of Human Life month. This is observed in January, because in that month of 1973 the Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in America. Since then, over 50 million unborn lives have been tragically lost. As Christians, we recognize the value of each one of these unborn lives and celebrate the truth that each child is created by God and made in His image.

 

We thank God for the lives and souls saved by His grace through Life Centers in 2012. Last year Life Centers served 7,176 women and their families with over 20,140 free services. We know of 218 clients who chose life for their babies and 413 clients who responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

We look forward to celebrating these miracles of new life at our 30th Anniversary Celebration of Life Banquet on Friday, April 26, 2013. We invite you to mark your calendar and join us at the downtown Indianapolis JW Marriott for a joy-filled evening. Please look for more information about this event in the coming weeks.

 

We thank the Lord for your continued partnership and ask God's blessings for a 30th anniversary year filled with hope and new life. We pray that in 2013 many more lives and souls will be saved and changed by Jesus Christ who said, ". . . 'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full'" (John 10:10, NIV).

 

Because Life Matters,

 
Dennis Dawes
Chairman of the Board
