Lifeline's 19in19 Recap Part 1
Herbie Newell, Rob Ingram and Ford Reasons reflect on their recent 19-day road trip through 19 states, where they visited Lifeline ministry partners and pregnancy resource centers across the country. They share memorable and humorous experiences from the journey, including racing across a Colorado ranch, driving through severe storms and tornado warnings, and enjoying countless laughs together on the road.
They discuss the impact of visiting pregnancy resource centers, with the hosts expressing gratitude for the organizations' work and how they were impressed by the dedication, compassion, and consistency of the staff despite differences in location and culture. They also note how the trip helped them better understand the needs of these centers and inspired new ideas for how Lifeline and EveryLife can support them.
