SOUND THE CALL

October 24-26, 2024
Lake Yale Conference Center

God’s distinct call to pregnancy care centers, clinics, and life ministries is to share the great message of His design and purpose for life with each client and family. Our annual Sound the Call statewide conference serves to challenge and encourage churches, pregnancy care ministries, and others on the front lines in the fight for life.

This three-day retreat will feature inspiring worship, special guest speakers, and breakout workshops to equip Sanctity of Human Life workers to fulfill the great calling of bringing life and hope to one more child and family.

What to Expect:

  • Worship led by the Jason Lovins Band
  • Guest speakers, ministry leaders, and pastors
  • Men’s Ministry Network
  • Annual Men’s Warrior Bonfire
  • Breakout workshops
  • Training sessions & more

WORSHIP: JASON LOVINS BAND

Jason Lovins Band 2022

Jason Lovins, leader and founder of The Jason Lovins Band, eclipses the word candid. He has turned his life’s beginnings into a stirring testimony, even though the negativity of it could have turned him towards seclusion, bitterness, or to be silent altogether. You see, Jason’s mother was raped when she was 15-years-old and Jason is the baby she carried full-term after the incident.

Jason was born into a Christian family where abortion is not an option, no matter what the circumstances. When it became evident that his mother, Lisa, was pregnant the first thing his grandma and mother did was go to church to pray about it. The answer was clear that this baby was to have life and to live it in glory to the Lord.
