Joy Lynn Pollock
President
Delwood Baptist Church
Throughout my life I have always had a passion for people. I grew up learning about God and loving all people. Being called to work with young women and youth became a focal point of my ministry in my home church, Delwood. With the support of my family and my church family, I always aspired to make a difference in the lives of others. As a youth director years ago, I found myself with a new challenge of a member of my youth group facing the realization of an unplanned pregnancy. Through some Christian leaders, I came to know of the ministry of centers to aid in growing women, even teenagers, with unplanned pregnancies into amazing mothers. Seeing the face of a young man in our church today, who was the son of that very young mother fifteen years ago, gave me the courage to step up to the plate with Luke 10 Ministries and the Camilla site for APC. What an eye opening experience to see the work needed to bring God's vision, revealed to some very special people in our community, to a reality. The work does not end with the first of many who enter the doors. It will blossom into a place of peace, comfort, love and support to so many as we go forth in God's leadership to truly make a difference in our homes, our churches, our schools and our community.
Harold Smith
Treasurer
First Baptist Church of Pelham
Rev. Harold Smith I am blessed to serve the Lord alongside my wonderful wife Cindy as the youth pastor at FBC Pelham and the Assistant Director at Camp Crosspoint. I have worked in children and youth ministry for over 42 years in churches, camps and other ministries in Massachusetts, Vermont, New York and now here in Georgia. I am excited to be a part of the Luke 10 ministries in their support of the Alpha Pregnancy Center in their work with families. Family is so important and it starts with these unborn children and the help these families need to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-10
Robert Etheredge
Baconton Baptist Church
I am thankful to have been asked to be a part of Luke10 ministries. Their work with the Alpha Pregnancy Center in Camilla is so vital in today’s culture. Being called to work with children and youth in my local church, this seemed to be a natural fit. Our unborn children are at serious risk. We need to do all we can to protect them by informing families medically and spiritually. Sharing the love of Christ with these families is of utmost importance to me and I am blessed to be a part of an organization that shares in that vision. I am excited to see what God has planned for Luke10 ministries, myself, and my family.
John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

Union Grove Baptist Church
I am excited and honored that God has blessed me with the opportunity to serve on the Luke 10 Board. I look forward to expanding the reach of Luke 10 Ministries in Mitchell County. While serving as a patient advocate at the Alpha Pregnancy Center in Camilla I became passionate about sharing the gospel and helping women and babies. God has also put me on the path of serving as a Biblical Counselor with Abounding Hope Biblical Counseling Ministries. I am committed to serving women by sharing God’s love, His Word and how they can live a life that glorifies Him. To God be the glory. Romans 11:36
Dean Blackburn
Sherwood Baptist Church
I am honored and excited to serve with Luke 10 Ministries. I look forward to supporting the various ministries associated with Luke10 and helping to reach people and meet their needs. The Alpha Pregnancy Center is an important ministry for saving the lives of the unborn but beyond that they also help the men and women learn how to care for their babies. I am excited to be a part of reaching men/dads who should be involved in the family planning decisions by mentoring and encouraging them to live a Christ-centered life. I am a member of Sherwood Baptist Church, where I am an adult Sunday School leader and a volunteer for the van ministry which provides transportation to church for anyone without transportation. Again, I am excited to be involved with Luke 10 Ministries.
