Save One helps men, women and families recover from the impact of abortion. Vice President Jack Harper joins us this week to talk about the role that pastors and churches can play in helping people find healing.
He notes that one-third of women both inside and outside the church have experienced abortion, impacting their partners, parents, other family members, friends and wider community. Harper says, “The church is the only entity that has been set up to be able to handle the massive numbers of people affected by abortion,”
Pregnancy centers and sidewalk advocates and even legislative efforts are all crucial components of the pro-life movement, and all of these efforts need the support and the work of the church in order to fully succeed.
From his bio: Jack Harper is the Vice President, and Men’s Director for SaveOne. He has fought in this battle for the unborn since the inception of SaveOne in 2000. Jack has supported SaveOne as a board member, a liaison to the global church, a travel partner, and through financial support.
Jack’s life has not always been about ministry. For Jack, drinking as a young teen led to alcoholism as a young adult. What started as an adolescent indiscretion became 23 years of alcoholism. Then, in September of 1998 Jack was miraculously delivered from alcohol as he gave his life to Christ. From that day forward Jack has looked for every opportunity to invest in the restoration of those hurting from the pain and destruction of addiction, alcohol, and abortion.
In 2003 Jack was called to full time ministry, and in 2007 became a church planter. He pastored Crossroads Church for 11 years before God called him to full time ministry at SaveOne. Jack is the author of the book Gifts from God a book centered on the revelation of how God blesses not only us but other people through our obedience. He is currently working on other writing projects. Jack is a board certified Mental Health Coach, and a member of the AACC.
