HOUSTON, Sept. 5, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- LifeHouse is celebrating 25 years by Toasting To Life with Former Governor Mike Huckabee as featured guest speaker Wednesday, October 2nd at the Houston Omni Hotel.  "I applaud the work of LifeHouse Houston, a Christ-centered ministry licensed by the state of Texas to provide housing for pregnant young women ages 12-24 years old, regardless if they plan to parent or place their baby in an adoptive home," said Huckabee.

Honorary-chairs Estela and David Cockrell, chairs Laurence and Henry Bragg, Mary Clark and Christopher Granberry, Paige and Houston Lane, Kathryn and Adam Roark, Allison and Spencer Stasney, Ashley and John Stevens, and Cecie and Kyle Turlington embrace one of Houston's most vulnerable populations through LifeHouse, as it serves pregnant women as young as 12-years-old who are essentially homeless or in need of a safe living environment. Through the program, that continues even after their babies are born, young women learn basic life skills, receive prenatal care, continue their educations, participate in counseling, parenting classes, adoption education, career counseling.  The ministry of LifeHouse fills a crucial role in Houston by assisting young women navigate through a period of their life filled with fear, questions, and doubts.  "Since 1988, LifeHouse has opened their hearts and doors to assist young women with loving support and the resources they need to create a positive, productive, independent life for themselves and their child," said Huckabee. "I ask you to join me in supporting LifeHouse and continuing their 25 year commitment of providing for young pregnant women, ensuring a brighter future and hope for both mother and child."

Former Governor Mike Huckabee is the host of the number one rated weekend hit HUCKABEE on the Fox News Channel and Cumulus Networks' syndicated radio program, The Huckabee Show, heard on more than 175 stations.  He's also heard three times daily across the nation on The Huckabee Report syndicated on almost 600 stations.  He is the author of 9 books, four of which have been on the New York Times Best Seller List.  He is an avid musician and is bass player in his rock and roll band, Capitol Offense.

Rumor has it that Huckabee just might pick up the bass guitar and jam with an up and coming band The Watchtowers, made up of students from Episcopal and St. John's High School.  This is an event not to be missed.
