Special Guest Speaker: Raul E. Reyes
Raul's pro-life ministry work started in 1983 as a founding steering committee and board member of the Pregnancy Center of Pinellas County (PCPC) where he later served as its President for 14 years. Under the leadership of Raul and his wife Chris, the PCPC became a multiple center, medical ministry. They also launched the PCPC's first abstinence and post abortion programs.

Life Network is a prototype Life Affirming Ministry that serves at the local level while developing cutting edge innovations to strengthen sanctity of life ministries at the national level.

November 6th at the exquisite and historical Coliseum in St. Petersburg! Enjoy a memorable evening that begins with our renowned Silent Auction featuring hundreds of amazing items to bid on. A delicious catered feast will be served before we begin our famous Live Auction. Whether you are in the crowd cheering on the bidders or are the successful winner, it promises to be an entertaining auction for all! You will be in awe as you listen to our guest speaker and former President, Raul Reyes on how God planted the Pregnancy Center of Pinellas County twenty five years ago through people like yourselves, each with the passion for saving babies from abortion. You will see how God has expanded this ministry under the name of New Life Solutions, saving 2,000 babies from the perils of abortion and nearly 2,900 lives transformed through sharing of the Gospel. Every real life story of how New Life Solutions has impacted lives is a testimony of God's continuing grace over our multiple ministries, for His Glory. New Life Solutions has grown over the years to include More2Life, Youth Development Program that educates Pinellas County students and teens to make wise lifestyle choices. Due to a grant loss, we need your prayers and financial help as we seek grants and private funding to continue this life-changing ministry. Our Passages ministry counsels post-abortive women to heal the scars from a past abortion through sharing God's sovereign forgiving love for them. This confidential group is offered free to any post-abortive woman and is solely funded by your support of New Life Solutions. Another New Life Solutions' ministry is the Breath of Life Women's Health & Birth Center, located on East Bay Drive in Largo. Offering the finest care for women and a continuum of care for Pregnancy Center clients, Our Christ-centered OB/Gyn practice offers wellness exams for women of all ages, and the opportunity to give birth in a peaceful and comfortable setting. We accept most insurance, Medicaid, and self-pay, and is available to the entire community. You are always welcome to tour this wonderful state-of-the-art facility. Each one of you has the tremendous opportunity to be part of God's continuing hand over these ministries whether you are a Gala Table Sponsor, invite other Gala guests, donate an auction item, volunteer in one of our ministries or events, or by simply attending this year's 25th milestone Anniversary Gala. In order to continue to meet the challenging demand in the community for our life changing services, I want to encourage you to be part of this cherished opportunity. You will receive eternal rewards! Please join us as we celebrate together God's gift of life! Julie Peluso Gala Chairman
