Hope Lives On

Hope Lives On - An Evening of Inspiration & Impact


Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate 35 years of ministry and the enduring power of hope. Together, we'll gather to celebrate lives saved, share stories of resilience, and celebrate the difference people like you are making every day!


Enjoy a delicious dinner, heartfelt testimonies, special music, and an inspiring message from our featured guest speaker, Mark Schultz. Throughout the evening, you'll discover how hope continues to change lives and how, together, we can ensure that hope lives on for the women and families we serve. Whether you've supported our mission for years or are joining us for the first time, this is an opportunity to connect with others who believe in the power of compassion, community, and lasting change.


Come celebrate, be inspired, and help us carry hope into the future.


Hope Lives On - because every life is worth fighting for.

Speaker

Mark Schultz

Mark is a platinum-selling, Dove Award-winning artist whose career spans nearly three decades and includes thirteen number one radio hits. But even with his success in music, Mark considers sharing his personal adoption story to be one of his greatest privileges.


Adopted at just two weeks old, Mark was raised by loving parents and remains deeply grateful to his birth mother for choosing life. Her decision not only shaped his future but also impacted countless others through the ministry and platform he has been given. Mark’s hit song, “Everything to Me,” was inspired by his gratitude for his birth mother and has become a source of encouragement for countless women facing difficult decisions. Today, Mark is passionate about using his story to support organizations that save and transform lives— because he knows firsthand that he is one of those lives. His story doesn’t end with his adoption. There is so much more to tell. Be inspired as Mark takes you on a journey with tears and laughter and gives you a vision for how you can also step into the

gap for those who need it most.
