Pam Stenzel

Pam Stenzel has dedicated her entire adult life to serving women experiencing crisis pregnancies, advocating for the sanctity of life, and helping students make informed, values-based decisions about sex.

Her personal story—conceived in rape, adopted, and deeply loved—inspires her unwavering commitment to affirming the value of every human life.

 

Pam believes that every person is created in the image of God, with a unique purpose and inherent dignity, and her mission is to offer help, hope, and truth to

those in need.

Pam speaks with boldness and compassion across the country, training pregnancy help center staff, equipping parents, and encouraging young people to value life, embrace purity, and walk in freedom.

50 years.

John Ensor is an Evangelical pastor and is the President of PassionLife Ministries and the author of numerous books on theology and ethics.

John, along with the PassionLife team, train leaders and their churches in biblical bio-ethics, prolife apologetics and pregnancy crisis intervention.

Jesus Christ.
