Care Net 2021 Annual Report

FISCAL YEAR 2021

ANNUAL

REPORT COMPASSION | HOPE | HELP

DEAR FRIEND, You are amazing.

Now, you are probably asking yourself why I would open a letter with such a generous compliment. Well, I believe you are amazing because you have turned one of the most unpredictable and chaotic years in recent memory into an amazing year for the protection of unborn children.

Through racial unrest, political unrest, and economic unrest — all against the backdrop of a global pandemic — your faithful and generous support of Care Net has led to one of our strongest years in our 46-year history.

As our network of pregnancy enters faced shutdowns and lockdowns, and social unrest was creating an environment of fear and isolation for women and men at risk for abortion, you were there encouraging the people we serve through your generosity.

You have grown and supported our network of affiliated pregnancy centers, which now numbers over 1,200. You have grown and supported our network of churches that are equipped with our Making Life Disciples program to serve women and men considering abortion. And you have made it possible for us to continue to educate and inspire the public about the Pro Abundant Life mission and vision that Care Net pursues for the defense of the unborn, the building of strong families, and the sharing of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And as the fiscal year closed out, we began hearing whispers of how the Supreme Court might finally have a real opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade. This encouraging news has inspired us to redouble our efforts to ensure that our nation is “end of Roe ready”… that our centers, churches, and other partners are equipped to provide compassion, hope, and help to the many more women and men who will need a place to turn if abortion is no longer an option for them.

I am prayerful and hopeful about what God has in store for us in the next year as we partner with you in this work. I am grateful to serve with you in this Pro Abundant Life mission.

May God bless you daily as you serve Him faithfully,

Roland C. Warren President & CEO

OUR MISSION Acknowledging that every human life begins at conception and is worthy of protection, Care Net offers compassion, hope, and help to anyone considering abortion by presenting them with realistic alternatives and Christ-centered support through our life-affirming network of pregnancy centers, churches, organizations, and individuals.

OUR VISION Care Net envisions a culture where women and men faced with pregnancy decisions are transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and empowered to choose life for their unborn children and abundant life for their families.

WE ARE...

BECAUSE the only source of true and lasting transformation is the Gospel, Care Net helps lead people into transformative relationships with Jesus Christ, breaking the cycle of repeat unintended pregnancies, and connecting pregnancy center clients to the local church for discipleship and long-term support.

BECAUSE 86% of abortions in the United States are among unmarried women, Care Net promotes healthy marriage as a critical factor in preventing abortions and as the optimal environment to raise children in accordance with God’s design for the family. The best way to ensure children thrive in life is when they are raised by their own, married parents.

BECAUSE the father of an unborn baby is the most influential factor in a mother’s decision to abort, we work to break the cycle of abortion by engaging the father. Positive father involvement prevents abortion, and post-birth, children with involved, responsible, and committed fathers fare far better in many important ways.

BECAUSE our culture-at-large no longer values the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the family as God designed it, we seek to influence the culture by transforming hearts and minds so that regardless of what the laws are, abortion becomes unthinkable in our homes, churches, and communities.

BECAUSE those who have experienced the pain of abortion are often the best to minister to those currently considering abortion, Care Net seeks to equip the Church to facilitate forgiveness and healing through Christ to those suffering from past abortions. In turn, those who have experienced healthy recovery from abortion will be equipped and empowered to serve those who are currently making pregnancy decisions.

Strategic Initiative PREGNANCY DECISION LINE 1st

Pregnancy Decision Line was created to meet the “emergency need” of women and men making pregnancy decisions by offering immediate pregnancy decision coaching with trained staff. As the nation’s first national call center offering immediate assistance to those considering abortion, Pregnancy Decision Line is uniquely positioned to have a significant impact on the number of abortions in the U.S. Eight out of ten callers to PDL are actively seeking or considering abortions.

Never has “emergency” care for those considering abortion been more needed than during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the shuttering of many healthcare facilities, including many pregnancy centers, Pregnancy Decision Line was inundated with calls from women and men facing unplanned pregnancies. Thankfully we were able to offer compassionate care with Christ-centered support to those reaching out for help.

We talked, we cried, she left with the Before You Decide magazine. I went home, brokenhearted, and held my breath. A month and a half later, she called me to express gratitude for the “Great 6

PREGNANCY CENTERS The global Covid-19 pandemic DEEPLY impacted pregnancy centers nationwide over the past year. More than 47% of Care Net affiliated pregnancy centers suspended in-person services for some time during the pandemic. Many turned to “phone only” counseling options.

Those offering medical services - pregnancy testing, STD/STI testing, and ultrasounds - faced significant challenges in their services to their communities in 2021.

Care Net has been in lock-step with our centers through it all: equipping them to meet new requirements to serve clients during a pandemic, helping them learn and implement new “telephone coaching” skills, and encouraging them to continue and increase their fundraising activities in uncertain economic times.

RESOURCES CARE NET PROVIDED TO AFFILIATES Care Net supports and equips a network of more than 1,200 life-affirming pregnancy centers across North America by providing them with the resources they need to provide compassionate care to women and men facing pregnancy decisions.

From best-in-class training through our Centers of ExcellenceTM and our National Conference, to printed materials for clients visiting centers, to one-on-one consultation with Care Net staff and specialists, Care Net invests heavily in our affiliates to help them operate according to industry best practices.

to speak truth to lies, and bring light to darkness. May He continue to bless the Care Net Staff and all those involved in Pro Life ministries.

Strategic Initiative MAKING LIFE DISCIPLES 3rd

Care Net believes that “life decisions require life support,” and that the Church is God’s chosen instrument to provide long-term support and discipleship to women, men, and families. This support empowers them to choose life for their unborn children and ABUNDANT life for their families through a transformational relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Making Life Disciples ministry resource was developed to equip the Church to specifically minister to those making pregnancy decisions, and to offer those in their congregations and communities the ongoing and long-term discipleship they need to realize an abundant life through Christ.

As a center director there is a lot of pressure to connect with, educate, and inspire many groups of people and church members are at the top of that list. However, this can be a daunting and time consuming task. The Making Life Disciples course works by seamlessly educating church members about abortion in their own environment alongside fellow church members. It allows for ample time for them to process and discuss the various topics 8

Strategic Initiative

INFLUENCING THE CULTURE Returning America to a culture of life will require more than simply changing laws….we must help people overturn Roe v. Wade in their hearts, making abortion unthinkable in our families, churches, and communities.

Care Net is a voice of compassion and reason in the public square, advocating for the culture at large to consider the value of human life, the importance of marriage and strong families, the important role of fathers, the transformative power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the need for long-term discipleship within the Church for those making pregnancy decisions.

Following the completion of the course we were able to host the participants at

the center to show them what we do which allowed me to develop a relationship with them while knowing they had been more informed before they even set foot into our building. I am very grateful for this program and would recommend it to any church and pregnancy help center!

CARE NET’S 2021

ROLAND C. WARREN President and CEO Roland is an inspirational leader with a mind for business and a heart for Christ. His background in the corporate world, his extensive experience in nonprofit management, and his deep faith and understanding of scripture enable him to lead Care Net’s efforts to transform people with the Gospel, empowering them to choose life for their unborn children. Inspired by Roland’s vision and leadership, Care Net is leading the Pro Abundant Life movement, calling pregnancy centers, churches, organizations, and individuals to not just work to save babies, but to help families go beyond surviving to thriving.

Prior to his tenure at Care Net, Roland served as president of the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI), where he was dedicated to the mission of improving the well-being of children by increasing the proportion of children raised with involved, responsible, and committed fathers. Roland’s work at NFI uniquely prepared him to understand the dynamics of the contemporary American family, gender roles, and the tragic effects of father absence on families. His extensive work in this area led him to author Bad Dads of the Bible: 8 Mistakes Every Good Dad Can Avoid.

Care Net has benefited from the strategic planning skills that Roland cultivated in his career prior to entering the nonprofit world. An alumnus of Princeton University, Roland received an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and went on to hold positions for more than two decades at IBM, PepsiCo, Goldman Sachs, and Princeton University. Roland is a sought-after national speaker at pro-life conferences and events, pregnancy center events, and church and pastoral events.
