Through abortion, you're overwhelmed with guilt and there's trauma and there needs to be healing. I’m upset that many people think that men don't deserve a voice. So it's something that I’m passionate about and I want people to know that if they're not alone. I'm just really trying to be where the Lord wants me to be. I know that that is the burden that He's giving me – to have the heart of a father.

What I want to take back from this conference is the aspect of discipleship. For my pregnancy center, I want to be able to establish those connections and those relationships with our local churches in order to have this conversation go beyond saving the child in the womb, but advocating for the wholeness of the family – from fathers being involved and for children to have abundant life that is only found in Jesus Christ.

We've been donors to Care Net for the last two or three years but Roland came and made a presentation to a few of us and that presentation really changed my life. So now I feel that God is telling me I need to get involved. I heard about reaching out to your local church and that's the first thing I'm going to do when I get back to Florida; I'm going to talk to the leadership about how we can better support an abundant life program.

These statements are from 3 of the 510 men who attended the first-ever Care Net Pro-Life Men’s Conference last year. And these are just three reasons we’re doing it again!
On March 3-4, 2023 in Dallas, TX, Care Net will host the Called and Missioned Men’s Summit. Dr. Tony Evans will once again host us at his wonderful church—Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship—and provide a keynote address.
Men like Cliff, Demetri, and Anthony inspired us to hold this conference a second time. Cliff is just a “regular guy”, healed from a past abortion and now feeling a powerful call by God to help other men find healing, too. Demetri works at a Care Net pregnancy center and wants to ensure that his center works with local churches to provide compassion, hope, help, and discipleship to women, men, and families. Anthony felt God call him to invest more than just money into Care Net’s mission and learn how to get his church involved in Pro Abundant Life ministry.
If you’re like one of these men then I’d love to see you join me at the 2023 Called and Missioned Men’s Summit! With Roe v. Wade overturned, our churches and pregnancy centers need us men to step up more than ever to help both women and men fulfill God’s calling for their families now… and for eternity.
