What You Can Do

Join the Coalition

We ask you to lend your name to The Faith-Based Coalition for Healthy Mothers and Children Worldwide and join us in our declaration and commitment to maternal and child health, including healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies.

Endorsement

HTHH welcomes an endorsement from Christian thought-leaders about the critical nature of Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) and Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancies(HTSP), the work of Senator Frist, MD or Jenny Dyer, or the campaign for awareness and advocacy around Healthy Mothers and Children Worldwide or Global Nutrition. HTHH is happy to provide sample endorsements for your edits and approval.

Read The Mother & Child Project and corresponding Discussion Guide!

We are excited to have released The Mother & Child Project: Raising Our Voices for Health and Hope (2015) with Zondervan Publishing Company. We encourage you to visit amazon.com to learn how to purchase your copy! This makes a wonderful gift for family and friends, and your Sunday School or Book Club. For those who want to "dive deep" we also have a Discussion Guide to accompany the book for a four-week curriculum to educate you on how you and your community can help save the lives of women and children around the world.

Blog

If you have a space in a newsletter or blog in which you regularly write on topical issues, we ask that you consider a brief piece on maternal, newborn, and child health with information about healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies. Other topics that would be of great importance is a deeper dive into global nutrition and food security as well as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. HTHH is happy to help with statistics, editing, or ideas for your blog. We want your community to know that you care about these issues.

Social Networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and more)

Do you, your church, and/or your co-pastors use Facebook or Twitter regularly to share newsworthy stories, stimulate interest in a topic, or suggest favorite websites? We want to be mentioned! HTHH is on Twitter at @HTHHglobal, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest! HTHH can provide you with concise FB quotes and/or Tweets, as well as current event hashtags, to share with your constituencies. Let us know if we can help provide ideas so your congregation can learn more about these important issues and how they can help.

Host an Event

HTHH has been co-hosting events across the nation including luncheons, dinners, private gatherings, break-out sessions at conferences, and mini-conferences. We would love to co-host an event with you. Let us know if you are interested in joining us to welcome your friends and community to an event where we can foster a robust dialogue around the importance of maternal, newborn, and child health, including healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies.

Op-Ed

Global health issues often get skirted in terms of awareness, education, and funding. HTHH would be honored to work with you to create a 500-750 word op-ed for your local newspaper about the importance of maternal, newborn, and child health and healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies. Let us know how we can provide you with the appropriate information to educate your community.

Article: Christian magazine, journal, etc.

If you are a contributor to a prominent website, magazine, or journal, please consider writing about maternal and child health issues. We can help coordinate such an article and set up interviews with Christian media. In the effort to promote awareness on these critical, life-saving issues, HTHH partners with A. Larry Ross Communications to develop strong PR materials and coordination with Christian leaders.

Radio, TV, Print: Interview

If you have the opportunity to talk about your theology, latest books/music, or work around the world, we would love a brief mention! Let us know if we can provide talking points to briefly mention The Faith-based Coalition for Healthy Mothers and Children Worldwide and how others can get involved!

Website

HTHH would be honored if you would consider adding a “Learn More About” section on your website that would connect visitors back to The Faith-based Coalition for Healthy Mothers and Children Worldwide to learn more about how they can change the world.

Email Blast

Send out a special email including brief information about maternal, newborn and child health in developing nations. HTHH is happy to provide sample content. We would love for you to include the critical issues of healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies to educate your congregation on maternal mortality and infant mortality issues.
