Gala Keynote
MAYRA RODRIGUEZ
Planned Parenthood Whistleblower
Mayra Rodriguez, a former director of three Planned Parenthoods where she was selected as 2016 “Employee of the Year,” witnessed critical safety and health violations, illegal conduct and women injured by abortion while employed by the abortion giant. Mayra became a courageous whistleblower and won a wrongful termination lawsuit against Planned Parenthood. She is now a powerful advocate against abortion and champion for women.
Workshop Keynote
Dr. William Lile
The "ProLife" Doc
Dr. William Lile, known nationwide as “The ProLife Doc,” is a board-certified OB/GYN, former department chair, and founder of the ProLife Doc ministry. In 1999, he took over Pensacola’s largest abortion provider, and on day one, ended all abortion services and referrals. Since then, he’s been on a mission to educate and inspire, using his medical expertise and biblical convictions to defend the lives of the unborn.
Workshop Keynote
Heather Lawless
Life & Leadership Coach
Heather’s calling to be a voice for life began when her mother was instructed by doctors to abort her, but she chose life. In her teens, Heather faced her own unexpected pregnancy and chose life. Raising a baby as a single mom, Heather finally surrendered to Jesus who has been transforming her life ever since — giving her the vision to create Reliance Ministries and the inspiration to author the book: We Do Talk About It: Breaking the Silence on Shame, Sex and Redemption.
