“Blow a trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly…
Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, for the LORD has done great things.”
Joel 2:15, 21
Get ready for Sound the Call 2019, an exciting celebration of the Sanctity of Human LIFE and 20 years of God’s faithfulness to the Sound the Call conference! This year you will be challenged and blessed by special guests and pastors; Dr. Jerry Haag, Pastor Titus Green, Pastor Cliff Lea, Dr. Tommy Green, Pastor Arnold Culbreath, and Reverend Andy Merritt.
Experience powerful and intimate worship with the Jason Lovins Band. The weekend will also include a host of committed workshop leaders that will provide you with training, encouragement to better equip you for ministry.
God has called each one of us to Himself as the Light of the world to proclaim His life-saving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a dark and dying culture. We have been called from sin to God, from self to Christ, and from things below to things above.
The Sound the Call committee has been praying and planning for a weekend designed by God to delight, encourage, equip, and challenge you, your staff, volunteers, and board of directors.
We are praying and believing for the unmistakable presence of God and a fresh encounter in Christ for each one of us.
Mary Lou Hendry and the STC Committee
In His Grace and For His Glory,

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.

UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE
With David C. Gibbs
David Gibbs III will bring a special word of encouragement for this 20-year Celebration of Life. David serves as president and general counsel of the National Center for Life and Liberty (NCLL), a legal ministry that protects the rights of churches, life ministries and Christian organizations nationwide.
MEN AND ABORTION
with David Williams
David Williams will share his testimony and present on effectively ministering to men in a ‘crisis’ due to the pregnancy of their partner and to find healing for those who are broken by the loss of fatherhood. David is a traveling SOHL speaker, has served as chaplain for the Cincinnati Bengals and Senior Pastor at CrossWay Community Church in Orlando, Florida.
CHURCH ENGAGEMENT
With Steven Robert
Stephen Robert and his team will encourage the relationship between the church and the pregnancy care ministry, inform you of the scope of ministries of FBCH and One More Child, and the significance we can share together in reaching one more child for Christ.
HOPE NATIONAL
With Jim Dundas and Jodie Zicker
Pastor Jim Dundas will bring a timely announcement and presentation on their ministry’s mission to provide training materials, information and education on how to “Bring Christ into the Choice for Life.” Jim serves as pastor of Grace Fellowship in Lincoln, Delaware.
ADOPTION
With Dr. Rick Morton
Dr. Rick Morton shepherds ministry outreach by publishing resources to aid in discipling orphans and vulnerable children. In his words, “We know that as Christians, we have all been adopted by our Heavenly Father. Adoption is a beautiful picture of the Gospel on earth that points us back toward Christ.” Rick will encourage you to present the Gospel and adoption to clients without fear. Rick is Vice President of Engagement at Lifeline Children’s Services.
Abortion Stops HERE
Led by Joseph and Daisy Pardo, Cree Women’s Care Puerto Rico
This holistic approach to abortion recovery will emphasize the power of forgiveness and freedom that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ that affects not only women and men, but their children too.
Adoption
Led by David and Pepper Wooten, Kara Reinhold, Lifeline Children’s Services.
Parenting, abortion, adoption…often it’s not an easy choice. This training will equip you to confidently share about the option of adoption with all of your clients by addressing what adoption looks like today, five common reasons why women are afraid to choose adoption and how you might respond.
Client Care, Next Steps
Led by Karen Shafer, First Life Center for Pregnancy
Learn how to intentionally engage your clients in an ongoing discipleship relationship. Taking the next step will help them to grow in their relationship with Jesus, themselves, and others.
Common Ground Panel
Led by Pastor Andy Merritt, Pastor Bobby Patton, Pastor David Williams, Carmem Carmo, Belinda Ford, and Pastor Byron Hendry
A panel of pastors and PCC leaders will discuss and celebrate our diversity only to discover that we have far more in common with each other than the things that divide us. Come and experience these mighty Godly principles and leave encouraged with a divine perspective for life, leadership and ministry.
Development
Led by Rebecca Rothman, FBCH and One More Child
Development is essential for the mission and ministry of your center/clinic. An eternal, God-centered worldview promotes cooperation, rather than competition, among organizations. This places the giver’s relationship to God above the ministry’s agenda. This workshop offers a fresh perspective for engaging new donors and increasing long-term support.
Information Technology
Led by Rich Robinson, owner and founder of Checkmate Web Solutions in Tampa, FL.
Technology is used in many different ways. We will explore ideas that you can implement in your ministry that will allow you to communicate more effectively and promote useful information in a timely manner.
Life Ministry International
Led by Jose and Coralia Bohórquez, Transformational Ministries in the Dominican Republic and Javier Vargas, Adoptando En PR
This workshop will provide information and inspiration from the Hope of Life PRC in the Dominican Republic and Adoption PR in Puerto Rico. Hear their struggles, fears, victories, and testimonies of lives transformed by the great faithfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Medical Ministry
Led by Greg VanBuskirk, Image Clear Ultrasound (ICU) Mobile
One of the goals of ultrasound technology is for the client to view their baby in the womb through a sonogram image, hear the heartbeat, and choose life for their baby. This workshop will reinforce a holistic approach to medical ministry as we provide care for them both physically and spiritually.
Personhood
Led by Pastor Bryan Longworth and Wanda Kohn, Personhood, Florida
What does it mean to be PROLIFE in the 21st Century? This workshop will provide information that can help restore the Sanctity of Human Life and to ensure that every innocent human life is protected without exception.
Single Moms
Led by Kristen Hitchcock, FBCH and One More Child
You will be informed of opportunities that are available for single moms in your community. These resources will help them discover who God created them to be, not only as a mother, but as a woman of significance and purpose.
Worldviews in Conflict
Hope National, Reverend Jim Dundas and Jodie Zicker, Hope National
Biblical fundamentals stand in sharp contrast to the worldly fundamentals. The contrast is so sharp, so clear and so distinct that a Christian can only conclude that anything other than a Biblical worldview offers a false Gospel.
