2025 Gala Update & 2026 Gala Speaker Announcement!

We are so excited to announce Rebekah Hagan as our 2026 Celebrating the Gift of Life Fundraising Gala Speaker on February 27th! Raised in a Christian home where abortion was never discussed, Rebekah’s journey into pro-life ministry was both unexpected and deeply personal. At 17, she chose life for her firstborn, but when faced with her second unplanned pregnancy, she was terrified of losing her support system and began a chemical abortion that changed her life forever.

Her journey took a remarkable turn when she became one of the first women to benefit from Abortion Pill Reversal. Today, she uses her experience to explore the mindset of women facing unplanned pregnancies, shed light on the truth behind chemical abortion and its marketing, and further the mission of the Pregnancy Help Movement.

Her testimony has been shared globally by prominent outlets, including Focus On The Family, Students For Life, Live Action, Heartbeat International, Epoch Times, The Federalist, and World Magazine.

Today, she passionately advocates for grace-centered outreach and collaborates with pregnancy help organizations worldwide. We are excited to meet Rebekah and hear her story! If you would like to attend as a table host or sponsor, contact Jenny at ptrcjasper@gmail.com, and look for more information to come soon!

Over $46,000 was raised at this past Celebrating the Gift of Life Gala on February 7th! Steventhen's powerful story of learning of his birth mom is one you don't want to miss. If you weren't able to attend, you can watch his testimony here: https://youtu.be/GeEpBNtmCNw?si=GyovngN-8l2bPnZW

Thank you to those who came, gave, and made this our most successful Gala yet!

MomCo Meet-Ups a Success!

This past Spring we partnered with a group of local ladies from several different churches to launch the first MomCo group here in Jasper! This group provided a space for moms of children ages 5 & under to get plugged in directly at a church, be encouraged and mentored by other moms, and cultivate friendships! The group met on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 9:30-11:00 at Redemption Baptist Church.

This group is one important element in helping us plug the moms that we serve directly into a church home! However, we can't do it without childcare volunteers! Providing a place for the moms to focus on themselves and their relationships with the Lord while not worrying about their children being cared for is so important! To do this, we need your help. Volunteers can sign up for once a month, once a quarter, etc. A background check will be done on each volunteer.

The next round of MomCo starts back in August! If you would like to help with childcare email Jenny at 205-221-5860! Snacks and brunch items are also needed so that we can provide a light snack at each meet-up.

31 Prenatal, Parenting, and Life Skills Programs Grads So Far This Year

We are so proud of our program graduates! We want to say thank you to our sponsors who help make our Baby Boot Camps happen by providing funding for baby items and curriculum. These parents are so grateful for all that they receive, including the education and baby items!

We held our second Baby Boot Camp at our main center in Jasper, along with one at First Baptist Church Double Springs.

We want to say thank you to First Presbyterian Church of Jasper for providing the meal and decor for our Jasper Baby Boot Camp. We will host our next Baby Boot Camps in the Fall.

Health Departments No Longer Offering Pregnancy Testing

A few weeks ago we found out that state health departments are no longer offering pregnancy testing services. Our location across from the Walker County Health Department and our partnership with parking our mobile unit at the Winston County Health Department has allowed us to reach many of these women in need of testing! In May, we had a record month of 30 pregnancy test visits. We anticipate this number to only increase and are grateful for the Lord positioning us in these locations to help us meet these needs!

Thank you, Kiwanis!

We are so thankful to have received a grant from Kiwanis Club of Jasper to help purchase car seats for the moms who graduate from our Baby Boot Camps and Now What programs! Our Client Care Coordinator, Madi, received the check on behalf of the center.

Would you like to support by giving baby items? We are always in need of baby toiletries! Items can be dropped off at the center during office hours, which are Monday-Tuesday 9:00-4:00, Wednesday 8:00-2:00, and Thursday 9:00-5:00. If you'd like to ship items, or mailing address is PTRC, 600 20th Ave. E., Jasper, AL 35501!

Did you know that our center receives $41.25 from each car tag that is sold in our county? Purchasing a Choose Life car tag is a great way to support our ministry!
