Conferences & Awareness Seminars
Empowering Leaders, Transforming Communities
Bethel House India (BHI) plays a crucial role in empowering leaders across family care, pregnancy support, pastoral care, and community outreach through impactful annual conferences. These gatherings unite pastors, healthcare professionals, social workers, and community leaders committed to improving the lives of vulnerable and marginalized families.
The conferences offer a dynamic platform for learning, collaboration, and spiritual renewal, featuring workshops, keynote speakers and discussions on pregnancy care, family support and community development. Leaders also experience spiritual growth through worship and prayer, deepening their commitment to supporting families facing unexpected pregnancies and hardships.
Beyond education, these events foster networking, building lasting partnerships among ministries and organizations to expand the reach of life-affirming care. By strengthening the collective ability of leaders, BHI ensures that vulnerable families receive holistic care, including grief support, mentoring and pastoral guidance.
With a focus on restoring dignity and hope, BHI’s conferences are vital in equipping leaders to address critical gaps in support services, especially in areas where access to pregnancy, family care and mental health resources are limited. Through these efforts, BHI is helping to transform communities by promoting a culture of compassion, resilience and empowerment.
