- the neighbor you've been praying for and wanting to invite?
- your spouse, sibling, or parent so you can worship side-by-side?
- the coworker who’s curious about faith but isn’t sure where to start?

Start praying over who God is putting on your heart, and ask them.

2025 was a year of incredible impact — and it’s all because of YOU. 💚

Together, we reached thousands of women, men, and families across university campuses, offered life-affirming care in moments filled with great challenges, and helped hearts heal through The Haven ministry.

Every number represents a life touched by compassion and truth.

Thank you for being part of Bella Vita’s mission to empower, educate, and support life. Here’s to even more hope in 2026! 🌿
