Kevin and Jenn Miller are raising a family in their 18th year of marriage. They are FUN! They are STRAIGHTFORWARD about building their relationship and how they are teaching their children about marriage. Kevin said, “Marriage is a picture of Christ in the Church (Ephesians 5). So if the model of marriage is about us preaching the Gospel through our relationship, it seems it would only make sense for dating to be preparation for that picture.”

Kevin is an Executive Pastor with Calvary Church, and Jenn is a singer serving as a volunteer as part of the worship team at the church.

Colonel James (Jim) Quick said, “Being called upon to help a family is a Godly thing. We are very touched by the opportunity to help people who need our help, to bridge the gap between a family that has suffered a devasting loss or disabling injury and the educational needs of the spouse or kids left behind.

Shelley Repp is the Executive Director of the New Mexico Dream Center. Sergeant Kyle Woods serves as a Deputy with the “GHOST UNIT” of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department. “I can say that virtually every single trafficked youth I have dealt with has been abused physically and sexually as a youth. It becomes almost a normalized environment for them opening them up to exploitation.”

The New Mexico Dream Center provides services to survivors of minor domestic sex trafficking called “Spoken For” and “The Harbor.” Shelley said, “Spoken For provides after-care for identified survivors of human trafficking. After-care looks like emergency shelter, transitional living, case management, and just really helping these identified survivors connect with services in our community. The Harbor is a drop-in center for young people that are experiencing homelessness. They can come to our facility Tuesday thru Friday to get food, take a shower, do their laundry, get hygiene products, get on the computer, and connect with a case manager.”
