CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS

The Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPC) desires to minister to more women, men, and children in the community. Additional funds will allow us to add new programs which will touch lives and promote health and restoration. We have opportunities for impact by comforting the hurting and presenting hope to the hopeless through the Good News of Jesus Christ by compassionate staff and volunteers.

The CPC invites the radio audience to be a part of this life-saving work through call-in pledges and financial gifts, which are tax-deductible. We need and appreciate support from the Body of Christ since we get no government funding. It costs this ministry slightly over $300 to save a baby per year or $25 per month. Over 1000 babies were saved last year as a result of the care and attention of the CPC’s many dedicated lay volunteers.

Another compassionate program we would like to begin (given sufficient funding) is ministering to families whose unborn babies have been diagnosed with a lethal anomaly. We will share heartaches and fears from the time of diagnosis through the birth, death, and grieving process of this loss.

CPC services include: Pregnancy testing and confidential counseling, ultrasound services, Fountain of Life Prenatal Clinic, 24-hour crisis hotline, men’s ministry, maternity clothes/layettes/emergency diapers/formula and life skills training at our Life Resource Center, post-abortion counseling and education (PACE) for women and men, miscarriage and early infant loss support group, mother/daughter Bible study, pro-life education and information, abstinence awareness/education (SAVE program), and Breakdown, a peer-to-peer teen performance group offering abstinence education through the innovative use of hip-hop dance, music, drama, video, and motivational speaking to public schools and community groups. Over 12 additional teams have been started as a result of the team’s work throughout the United States and in Uganda. Additional teams are slated to begin in 2007 across the nation, Canada and potentially Zambia.

The CPC has also been designated a Safe Baby Drop-off destination by the State of Arizona and provides national and international on-the-job training within the pregnancy care movement.

Deadline Fast Approaching

Last year the U.S. Congress made changes in the tax code that end this December 31st.  The approved changes allow tax-free donations of up to $100,000 directly from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to charitable organizations from individuals aged 701/2 and older.  Please contact your tax-advisor or financial planner to determine if this type of giving is advantageous to you.  Over $100,000,000 has already been given to charities throughout the U.S. since this provision was enacted.

New Legislation makes it easier to donate

Leaving money to charity when you die is a noble and selfless act. But giving money away while you're still alive is a lot more satisfying.
A provision in the pension reform legislation President Bush signed last week will make it easier for older people to donate money in their individual retirement accounts to charity. The provision, which is effective only for 2006 and 2007, allows individuals who are 70½ or older to take tax-free withdrawals from their IRAs as long as that money goes directly to charity.
