How Can You Help?
    Maybe it has happened to you - that persistent conviction that you need to do something about abortion. If you feel called to act, but haven't known exactly how, the ministry of CRADLE offers you a compassionate way to make a difference.  By getting your Church excited about its involvement as a church family, you can multiply your input manyfold.
    CRADLE needs you! As an individual member of the Body of Christ, and as a member of a local church, you are critical to the effectiveness of this ministry.  Lack of funds and volunteers are crippling many ministries - and limit the number of clients they are able to serve.
    The typical pregnancy care center employs a very small paid staff.  Without volunteers to counsel clients, donate funds, maintain the facilities - and everything else in between - the center would have to close its doors.  This is where the local church becomes an indispensable partner with the ministry of CRADLE.
