40 Years for Life! Gala
Join us as we celebrate our 40th year anniversary of reaching women, babies and families in need. This will be a night to remember as we fellowship together with great food, hear from our inspirational speakers, magnify God together as we recount 40 years of God's marvelous works through Silent Voices and look forward to a new season of reaching more women and babies in need! Our Mobile Medical Unit will be available for tours and our Nurse Manager will present a Live Ultrasound Presentation.
We are blessed to have Dr. Sandy Christiansen the Medical Director from Care Net share with us on the importance of having a pregnancy medical clinic to reach those in need. We will also hear an amazing redemptive story from Barbra Mwansa who started the first Pregnancy Center in Zambia which has now spread to 23 countries in Africa! Lastly, we will have the opportunity to celebrate the CEO of Silent Voices, Sharon Pearce, who will give a 40 year over view of God's amazing works done through Silent Voices!
At the close of the evening, our friends will be given the opportunity to support this ministry through prayer, financial means and volunteer needs.
