You don't have to wait! We have volunteer opportunities that you can begin today! Call 286-4673 for information.

VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME!!!
"...The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Ask the Lord therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field."

Are you looking for an opportunity to serve the Lord in a meaningful way? We'd love to have you as part of our team! We have many opportunities that will enable you to use the gifts God has given you.
Have your personal experiences given you a heart for Life Choices? Perhaps God has given you the personal history you have because He wants to use you to minister His love and compassion at Life Choices.
Do you want to serve, but you feel inadequate? We've found that God often uses people who are aware of their weakness to display His greatest glory.
Are you willing to help, but don't see yourself meeting one-on-one with clients? We have many other types of opportunities! Read below for more details.

How has God equipped you? Consider the following opportunities to serve:

Client Advocate

Client Advocates are the heart of the ministry at Life Choices. They meet one-on-one with clients. Initially, they help those facing unplanned pregnancies explore their options. Then, depending on the client's choice, a Client Advocate is available to offer whatever support is needed. For those who choose to parent, Client Advocates lead clients through our Earn While You Learn Program and parenting classes. For those who choose adoption, our Client Advocates offer support as they sort through their emotions and choices. For clients who have chosen abortion and are dealing with regret, Client Advocates offer post-abortion support. If you're interested in serving as a Client Advocate, please contact Erin Hollingsworth, Client Services Manager, at 286-4673.

Volunteer Medical Team

We need doctors, nurses, and sonographers to meet the ever-growing need to provide medical services for our clients. If you're interested in being a part of our volunteer medical team, please contact Kim Hampton, RN, at 286-4673.

Office Volunteer

Sometimes it's difficult to get away for lunch, and we could use help answering phones! In fact, we'd love to have a few more volunteer receptionists to help us do just that! Because the reason we exist is for our clients, sometimes it can be difficult to find time to clean, file, input data entry, and get letters mailed. If you're interested in volunteering as a receptionist or helping in other ways in our office, please contact Dawn Orman, Office Manager, at 286-4673.

MOM Store and Cleaning
As donations are given to the ministry to meet the physical needs of our clients, and as seasons change, we need help keeping up with inventory and keeping items stocked. Sometimes it's hard to make time for little tasks like sweeping, mopping, and taking out the trash, so volunteer help in both of these areas are an amazing gift because they give staff the gift of time to be meeting with clients and fulfilling other responsibilities.

Junior Ambassadors
Junior Ambassadors are students in 6th-12th grade who help in the center with mailouts, cleaning, and special projects and represent Life Choices in their schools. Because they represent the ministry, all participants are required to make a commitment to and complete the study on abstinence.

"Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways:we do not use deception, nor do we distort the Word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God...But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." II Corinthians

Sponsor a Day

Members as of March 1, 2008

Life Choices has launched a special campaign called “Sponsor a Day,” allowing you to sponsor a day that is special to you, and making it an extraordinary day in the life of a young woman who’s in a pregnancy-related crisis. How does it work? We took our annual budget, divided all of our expenses—everything from paper clips to building payments, and divided it by 365. That amount is $545. Some folks write one check for $545, others have broken it into 12 payments or $45 monthly. Some have also chosen to sponsor half a day for $272.50 or $22.70 monthly. In sponsoring a day , you may want to honor the date of a birthday, anniversary, or other significant day in your life. We’ll list the name of your choice on our calendar and on our clients’ appointment cards who visit on your special day. We’ll also be praying for you that week. If you'd like to sponsor a day or a half day, click here.

$5 - $15 Club

Can’t afford to sponsor a day, but want to help provide regular support? Even $5 a month adds up for a ministry dependent on the generosity of people like you. That’s only 16¢ a day! In fact, if just 1,667 people committed to just $10/month, Life Choices would meet its budget--that's less than 5% of the population in Dyer County! Click here to start your monthly pledge by bank draft or via credit card.

It's not TOO late!!

PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! This is the very most important way you can help! "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." Psalm 126:1 We have been amazed at how God has opened so many doors for this ministry to convert to a medical clinic. He is also bringing in many new clients, increasing our opportunities to reflect His light and love in their darkest of times. However, the enemy is prowling around seeking someone to devour. We need God's strength so that we can stand firm.

BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR!! In order to meet the budget needs of our medical clinic, we need your help!
Specifically, we need 600 people to give $5-$15/monthly--an amount small enough that you shouldn't even feel it, but with that many donors, our budget needs will be met! Please click here to make your donation or pledge online.
