Episode 31 - Beyond Our Borders: The Global Fight for Life with Tammy De Armas

About the Guest: Tammy De Armas serves as Director of Mission Advancement for Passion Life, a ministry that equips churches and pregnancy care leaders around the world to respond to the global abortion crisis with practical help, life-affirming care, and the hope of the Gospel. Before joining Passion Life, Tammy spent 10 years as CEO of Alternatives Medical Clinic in Southern California. Her personal experience with abortion at 19, combined with decades of ministry leadership, has given her a unique perspective on the importance of listening, healing, pregnancy care, and reaching women before they feel abortion is their only option. Episode Summary: What happens when God asks a pregnancy care leader to look beyond her own community and see the life issue as a global mission? In this episode of Lifeline for Leaders, Kirk and Linda Thomas sit down with Tammy De Armas, Director of Mission Advancement for Passion Life, to talk about her journey from leading a pregnancy medical clinic in Southern California to helping equip pregnancy care ministries around the world. Tammy shares her personal abortion story, what she learned from years of serving women in crisis pregnancies, and how God eventually “lifted her head” to see the global scope of the abortion issue. From Cuba and Colombia to India, Pakistan, China, and beyond, Tammy explains how Passion Life partners with churches, trains local leaders, provides resources such as handheld ultrasounds, and helps communities develop pregnancy care ministries that fit their own culture. Most importantly, Tammy reminds leaders that they are not called to listen to every voice around them—but to discern whose voice they are listening to and faithfully follow what God is calling them to do.
