There are so many things vying for the attention of Church leadership. Why add one more thing to your plate? Why take on one more “ministry?”
I know how inundated pastors and church leaders can be with everyone telling them that their passion project is the most important. They look to you to make it happen and are disillusioned when you don’t seem as passionate about it as they are.
And now, you’re being presented with another ministry idea and it’s enough to make you want to quickly exit this site and never return.
However before you do, let me address the what, why and the how of starting a Life Tribe Ministry in your church for I believe Life Tribe is already something many of your ministries in your church are doing – it’s just a slightly different, more focused strategy that will reap eternal rewards.
WHAT
- Life Tribe is a ministry of the local church to help those facing an unplanned pregnancy, make a life-affirming decision.
- Life Tribe helps those struggling from a past abortion decision find healing and wholeness through God’s transformative Word.
- Life Tribe journeys through life with moms and dads who need support raising their children.
- Life Tribe shares messages of grace, truth and love.
- Life Tribe will cause abortion to become an unthinkable option.
WHY
- With 40% of women and 50% of men attending church at least once a month at the time they chose abortion, you may be the only voice of hope and truth they hear.
- The church is funding almost half of all abortions in our country. If you can make abortion unthinkable in the church, you stop it in our country.
- At least 25% of the individuals in your church have made an abortion decision in the past. They need to hear from you that there is hope, forgiveness and healing. Instead, our silence infers that they committed the unforgivable sin.
- The enemy would like for the church to keep silent about abortion because then healing and wholeness will cease.
- Who better to stand for the intrinsic value of God’s image-bears than the Church. Every human being is uniquely created for purposes penned for their life by their Creator. The Church knows and can articulate this better than anyone else.
HOW
- Start a Life Tribe Ministry in your church. Be the bridge to bring hope and support for those facing an unplanned pregnancy and healing for those struggling from a past abortion decision.
- Find a key individual in your church that has a heart for this ministry and appoint them as the leader.

And the biggest reason of all to start a Life Tribe Ministry at your church???? It truly is one of the greatest tools for salvation, discipleship and revival! It is the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
