Fall Banquet 2026

Heather Lawless was never supposed to survive. Doctors warned her mother that carrying her would be fatal—abortion was the only option they saw. Under pressure from medical professionals and family, her mother scheduled the appointment. She got in the car, drove toward the clinic… and then, by the grace of God, turned around. She chose life.

That choice changed everything.

Years later, Heather found herself walking a painful road—seeking love in the wrong places, enduring heartbreak, divorce, and facing her own unplanned pregnancy by 23. The world offered an easy way out.

But like her mother before her, Heather refused to take it. She chose life. That decision altered the course of her future. Today, her daughter is 20, and Heather’s journey has fueled a relentless passion to help women and men facing crisis pregnancies, broken relationships, and unexpected life challenges.

With a fire that cannot be extinguished, Heather founded Reliance Ministries, a groundbreaking, four-part holistic model designed to offer real solutions—not just temporary aid—to those in need. Her promise to “be there and prove it” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a mission.

Heather is not just another speaker—she is a force. Bold, unfiltered, and unapologetically PRO-LOVE, she ignites audiences with a message of truth and grace—because the world needs both. Whether she’s on stage, in the media, or face-to-face with a mother in crisis, Heather’s voice is clear: love first, love fiercely, and never stop fighting for life.
