1Dear Friend,Nearly one million children are aborted in the United States every year. That’s one child every thirtyseconds.

Weproclaim the holistic truth that abortion harms women, babies, fathers and families.We are leading the Pro Abundant Life Movement as taught by Jesus in John 10:10, “I came thatthey may have life, and it abundantly!” This movement is about so much more than preventingabortion -- we are moving families from just “surviving” to “thriving” - through a transformingrelationship with Jesus Christ, to God’s perfect design of marriage and the family.Back in 1975, Care Net was founded to give women and families loving support and comprehensiveinformation to help them make wise decisions regarding unplanned pregnancies. Today, Care Netsupports one of the nation’s largest networks of life-affirming pregnancy centers—with more than1,100 members—and runs the only national pregnancy decision coaching call center that providesimmediate support to women and men considering abortion. We also equip and mobilize churchesto offer compassion, hope, help, and discipleship to those making pregnancy decisions.You have in your hands our 2018 Annual Report, a year that was marked with thousands of livessaved. But that’s just the beginning . . .The moment we encounter an individual or family, we want them to know the love, hope, andunconditional acceptance of Jesus Christ. From that foundation—and by meeting each person rightwhere they are—we encourage and empower them to choose marriage, parenting, adoption, andother alternatives to abortion that honor what God designed the family to be.Ultimately, lasting victory lies not only in choosing life for the unborn, but in leading those childrenand their families to the abundant life Christ promises in John 10:10.In the coming year, we will continue to do the work of ministry with great hope and expectation forwhat God will do through Care Net … and through YOU!
