The roster of keynote presenters for the largest international pregnancy help gathering was released Monday, the next step toward the premier event that equips and empowers pregnancy help ministries worldwide.
Heartbeat International announced the speakers for its 2025 Annual Pregnancy Help Conference to be held in Birmingham, Ala.
“We are ready to welcome pregnancy help ministers from across the world to learn, grow, and come together in community with their colleagues,” said Heartbeat President Jor-El Godsey.
The 2025 Conference theme is Together Towards Tomorrow, and Godsey said this is a nod toward the unity of the pregnancy help community along with the movement’s commitment to continually rise to occasion of serving women and families.
“It echoes our collective journey from unity to community,” he said.
The Conference theme is based on Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
