International Associates Attend Care Net Conference
LIFE staff were joined by some of our international associates at the annual Care Net conference, this year held in Baltimore, MD. The conference was a large gathering of pregnancy care center leaders and staff. The LIFE team was joined by Larysa—the director of our Eastern Europe Regional Office, Roxana and Dr. David—our associates in Romania, and Rose—the director of our associate center in Brazil.
LIFE International hosted two breakfasts at the conference for pregnancy care centers that partner with us in international life-giving work. It was a joy to dialogue with them about the work they are engaged in with LIFE and to introduce them to some of our international associates who shared first-hand about ministry happening overseas.
One of the best things about the Care Net conference is the incredible opportunity to network with people and pregnancy centers across the U.S. Larysa’s experience was just this, she met not only current supporters of the work in Eastern Europe, but she had encounters with many others with an interest in Eastern Europe too. She met a woman on an elevator who receives LIFE updates and has been praying for her and the EERO. She met someone with a burden to pray for Moldova and a Russian woman working in Texas who had no idea of any life-giving work happening in her home country. Larysa was inspired and encouraged to see the national representation of U.S. pregnancy care centers coming together for this conference; this strengthened her vision to see networking happen on the national level in her own country.
We are so grateful for the partnership of U.S. pregnancy centers in this global mission; their involvement with LIFE International has far reaching impact around the world.
