Care-Net Conference

We would like to thank everyone who voted

for us. MMNPRB presented us with a $5,000

check on September 29th and all the winners

were announced on October 2nd on KCRG.

We are so thankful to God for this honor and

we give Him all the glory!

Alternatives has an umbrella

organization called Care-Net and

every year for the last 40 years

they have had a conference for

their affiliates. This year 2 of

our staff and 2 volunteers, Jerry

and Maria attended the

conference on September 9-11 in

San Diego, CA. Care-Net

envisions a culture where women

and men faced with pregnancy

decisions are transformed by the

Gospel of Jesus Christ and

empowered to choose life for

their unborn children and

abundant life for their families.

We had a great time learning,

being equipped, and getting

refreshed.

We got to meet and be taught by

Steve Arterburn, the author of

Every Man’s Battle.

Janet Lyons was

honored for her 5

years of service as

our

Executive Director!

Thank you Janet for your hard

work and dedication!
