The Life Impact Campaign

I would like to introduce our new monthly giving opportunity entitled, The Life Impact Campaign. The establishment of this
monthly donor base will allow Care Net have a more predictable flow of revenue to better manage our expenses. The goal of the
Life Impact Campaign is to enroll twenty donors each at the first 4 levels and fifteen donors at the 36K level which will yield the
following revenue streams outlined below:

Club Monthly Individual Yearly # Donors Group Yearly

Donation Donation Donation

2K $10 $120 20 $2,400

7K $30 $360 20 $7,200
12K $50 $600 20 $12,000
24K $100 $1,200 20 $24,000
36K $200 $2,400 15 $36,000
If successful the campaign will result in a total of $81,600 annually from monthly donors!

This newsletter contains great information on the recent accomplishments of all our Care Net centers, the clients we serve and the
programs we are able to offer free of charge. The need for our services continues to grow and with your help we will be able to
serve those who come to our centers for assistance in 2010. I would like to ask each of you to prayerfully consider becoming a part
of our ministry by participating in our monthly donor campaign at a level that best suits your personal financial situation. Please
know that your gift, at any level, will be greatly appreciated!

Also, please read the guest column provided in this newsletter on page 4 by Kirk Waldon, president of Life Trends. He speaks to
the importance of supporting your local pregnancy center.

Thank you in advance for your donation.

Together we are “making a difference………..for every heartbeat”.

What happens when all of us are “all in”? Let’s find out.
Guest Commentary by Kirk Walden

Let’s ask ourselves a simple question: Would we like to see abortions become obsolete? If your answer is yes, read on.
This dream of ending abortion is not as far-fetched as we might think. While our first instinct is to look at legislation and the courts,
the most effective answer is the pregnancy care ministry, where hope and practical solutions are empowering women and families
every day.
If pregnancy helps ministries become the true first choice of those facing unplanned pregnancies, they won’t consider the second
choice of abortion. And when more choose life, less will choose to end their pregnancies.
The natural result of this monumental shift? Abortion clinics-with fewer and fewer customers-will close their doors in record
numbers. The rise of pregnancy care ministries-in number and in services available-will render abortion more and more irrelevant.
Ultimately, this can lead to abortion’s downfall.
Frankly, I’d love to see this happen. My guess is, you do too.
Building an abortion-free country means offering our resources to make it happen. Perhaps, just perhaps, God is waiting on each of
us to say, “I want this so much I’m willing to commit my treasure to the project.”
I did some research, and math, and found that if each pro-life home in America (accounting for divided households and such) gave
just $10 a month to a pregnancy care ministry, the average pregnancy help center budget would be $1.8 million. That’s nearly
$5,000 a day.
This leads to a question: Do we believe that with funds like this, we could change more hearts, touch more people with the love of
Christ and in the end, save more lives? I certainly do.
I’m committing to a monthly gift to my local pregnancy help ministry in 2010. Please join me. Whether it is $10, $25, $50, $100 or
more-together we’re going to save a lot of lives this year. A lot of them. And in the process, we’re going to start a wave of
momentum that one day, renders abortion obsolete.
Abortion needs to end, as soon as possible. Regardless of the political winds of the day, we can make it happen. And with God’s
