OUR MISSION: We are an Evangelical Christian non-profit organization that was established to reduce abortion by giving the support and information that people need to choose life.
In 2021, there were 34,988 abortions performed on Georgia residents. Half of those were done in four counties: Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Cobb.
91% of the abortion minded women (that we can confirm) who come to First Care choose life for their babies!
Abortion was not defeated by the overturn of Roe.
The legal battle is now in the hands of the states. First Care will continue to focus on serving women until abortion becomes unthinkable in Georgia, even before the heart begins to beat.
FRIENDS FOR LIFE KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Eric Metaxas is an energetic and educated #1 New York Times bestselling author and radio show host who shares our belief in the sanctity of life. You’ll leave our 26th annual event empowered and encouraged with ways you can get involved in reducing abortion in our communities!
Eric Metaxas is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther, If You Can Keep It, Amazing Grace, Miracles, Seven Men, and Seven Women, and the newly released, Letter to the American Church.
He is the host of the Eric Metaxas Radio Show, a two hour daily nationally-syndicated radio program covering an intentionally wide variety of topics called “the Show about Everything” Metaxas’s guests have included innumerable authors, actors, musicians, athletes, scientists, comedians, political commentators, and faith leaders.
He has been called a “photogenic, witty ambassador for faith in public life” by ABC News, and The Indianapolis Star has described him as “a Protestant version of William F. Buckley.” Princeton’s Dr. Robert P. George has called him “one of our nation’s most brilliant and morally serious public intellectuals.”
In a decidedly eclectic career, Eric Metaxas has written for Veggie Tales, Chuck Colson, and the New York Times, three things not ordinarily found in the same sentence. He is a best-selling author whose biographies, children’s books, and works of popular apologetics have been translated into more than 20 languages.
Eric lives in Manhattan, New York with his wife and daughter.
“We remember that God is good, but His goodness is not safe and it is not tame. God is not the religious God of the Pharisees. He does not call us to be tame or safe or religious. It’s safer to bury the talent, but God condemns us when we behave in that way….He condemns us for hanging back when He has called us to the battle.” – Excerpt from Letter to the American Church
