History
of Loving & Caring - Helping the pro-life
community
 Jim and
Anne Pierson
began working in the
pro-life community in the early 1970's as the Lord
called them to move to Pennsylvania and begin a
family style maternity home. Before moving
to Pennsylvania, they had spent several years in
youth work through their church in Washington,
D.C.
Within a ten year
period, the Piersons had established two maternity
homes, an aftercare facility for women who had
placed their children in adoption, and an extended
family living program for women who were parenting
their children. During this time, Anne began
to write materials for the women and to speak at
various events.
By 1984 there were
numerous demands from around the country for
training, materials and guidance for the greater
pro-life community. It was at that time that
Jim and Anne felt led to turn over the daily
running of the maternity homes and to begin the
international ministry of Loving & Caring.
They found that instead of a few being helped,
thousands could benefit from their years of
service and experience.
The ministry Loving
& Caring began because the Pierson's saw a need
to help the pro-life community.
Specifically, the saw the need
for
materials
to be written and distributed to ministries and
organizations that serve individuals and families
experiencing a crisis pregnancy. Jim and
Anne had a desire to use these materials to reach
people for Christ, and the ministry continues to
fulfill that desire today.
