The Partnership
In November 2019, FAIR announced its partnership with Pregnancy Care Canada (PCC). The aim was to educate and equip Fellowship churches with outreach resources, enabling them to engage by helping to alleviate the issues facing communities and women needing pregnancy support.
The Healing Conversations booklet and video are a free resource that helps churches learn how to speak into the lives of post-abortive women in a meaningful way, filled with grace and love. Churches can also contact Pregnancy Care Canada for help in engaging within their community through pregnancy care centres.
Fellowship Churches Responding
Fellowship churches are being invited to respond in these ways:
PRAY
- Prayerfully consider how God is asking you to embrace this ministry within your community.
- Pray for effectiveness for the staff and volunteers providing compassionate care for women needing pregnancy and post-abortive support through pregnancy care centres across Canada.
- Pray that the women who visit pregnancy care centres would encounter the love of Christ while obtaining the resources they need to move forward.
