Pathway to Hope Pregnancy Care Center

There are not enough ways to say Jeff Kemp was the best speaker we have had. Every one of our attendees praised him and told us this was our best banquet ever. He provided a new insight into Heartbeat and our attendees walked away saying, 'For the first time, I truly understand the work and challenges of Heartbeat.

Heartbeat of Nacogdoches

Jeff is an amazing speaker! His presentation was one of the best we have heard. He incorporated the premise of his book, Facing the Blitz, into the everyday situations that pregnancy centers face each day. He used it to challenge our attendees into not only supporting the center but to volunteer to mentor the girls and guys we see. He brought out the lack of knowledge our young people have about sex and the consequences they face because of it. He used Scripture to point out the need to serve and even reminded our elected officials they should be humble in their service. His message encompassed the very work of Heartbeat in our community and our needs in a seamless way. His appeal for donations WAS THE BEST EVER!
