...All Because of a Baby Bottle

Give the GIFT of LIFE by filling Baby Bottles!

How can a baby bottle filled with loose change bring life into a situation and create a heart change all at the same time?  Last year, I received a hand written letter attached to one of the bottles returned that shared a precious memory I hold dear to my heart.  A memory from a grandmother’s time spent with her grandchildren gathered around the dinner table one evening that changed the face of that family’s future!
 
Here’s what happened…

This grandmother decided to take part in the Baby Bottle Boomerang.  The grandmother placed a baby bottle at the center of the table before eating, and as she served her family one person at a time, questions about the baby bottle began.  Meaningful conversations took place and a change in their hearts occurred.  Inspiration and faith were birthed out of God’s truth for his created miracle in the womb.  Not only did her grandchildren feel more important and loved by God, but they also felt more love for LIFE!  Those precious conversations and the prayer that ended their time meant far more than they could ever have anticipated.
 
This is what that teachable time did for that family…

It demonstrated the power of love in Jesus Christ and it instilled identity of LIFE in them.  It also promoted action from the insight that they had gained.  Their hearts were moved to exchange their faulty opinions for life giving donations.  A powerful exchange!  I’m sure glad that the pro-family message was shared around that table, and that the youngest generation of that family will take a stand for LIFE in the future…all because of a baby bottle centered on the dinner table.

Have you ever participated in the Baby Bottle Boomerang Fundraiser?  It’s really one of the most effective fundraisers in Pro-Life ministries today.  It always amazes me how a baby bottle filled with loose change can bring so much HOPE to our clients and to our Centers!  This fundraiser is a win and here’s why:
  • It increases the important message of love and hope for abundant life in our communities.
  • It elevates the awareness level in our communities about the numerous ways a center like ours helps, by providing free and confidential counseling, free pregnancy services, resources, and so much MORE!
  • It raises funds!
  • It gives all ages an opportunity to participate!


 Here is how you can get involved…
