LETTER FROM MISSION COMMAND

MISSION BRIEFING

Astronauts,

Welcome to the Care Net National Conference! It is a joy to gather pregnancy center leaders, pastors, and ministry partners from across the country for a focused, Christ-centered time of learning, worship, and encouragement. In our rapidly shifting culture, the challenges we face together are growing more complex. But, God’s mission has not changed.

This year, we are inviting you to lift your eyes higher—beyond day-to-day pressures—to a renewed vision for Gospel-centered care and Pro Abundant Life ministry. Together, we will explore how to keep the Gospel at the center of our work, lead our teams with wisdom and resilience, and respond to cultural shifts with truth and compassion. Our prayer is that you leave not only inspired, but equipped with clear strategies for client care, practical tools to strengthen your team, and messaging that deepens trust with your donors and partners.

The mission before us is greater than any one organization, and God’s Kingdom is our destination. Thank you for answering God’s call in this season. May this conference be a time of realignment, refreshment, and clarity for what’s next in your ministry.

As you read this, what do you personally hope God will clarify or strengthen in your ministry during this conference? I pray He meets you right where you are!

Blessings,

Roland C. Warren
