Doug and Roda Abrams are Founding Board members of Casa de Mariposa. Doug also serves as the Executive Director. He said, “Casa de Mariposa is a maternity home ministry established seven years ago by my wife, me, and five other colleagues. In that first year, God brought all the resources together. We had a home donated and all the furnishings so we could open up to moms and their babies in January of 2016.  Four women came to live with us, and four babies were born. That was the launching of Casa de Mariposa into ministry service for pregnant women.”

The ministry of Casa de Mariposa exists to share the love of Jesus Christ with women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy by providing for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs in a residential setting. They also serve vulnerable women with a child under a year of age. Roda said, “Whatever their current circumstances, we believe God can bring a new perspective and offer a life-changing experience.” All pregnant women are eligible to apply to Casa de Mariposa regardless of race, religion, or national origin.

Shelley Repp is the Executive Director of the New Mexico Dream Center. She describes today what human trafficking looks like nationally and globally from a labor and sex trafficking point of view. Shelley said, “There are absolutely systems in the United States that contribute to human trafficking. The United States is involved in all three aspects of human trafficking. We produce trafficking victims internally, importing trafficking victims, and exporting trafficking victims. The United States is part of all three of these aspects.”

John Jones is the President and CEO of LifeQuest USA. He said, “We are a ministry that is dedicated to reaching incarcerated and at-risk youth.” Haeleah Blackman is a high school student, and part of the LifeQuest USA 4:13 Journey. God has brought John through a number of challenging times in his life including drug addiction, and incarceration. He encourages people not to be held captive or limited by their past. He said, “God will use everything from your past, your ugliest stuff, your most painful stuff to serve Him and serve others if you will give it to Him to use. Part of the problem is you can’t use it unless you are free from your past.”

Haeleah said, “High School can be hard sometimes. LifeQuest and the 4:13 Journey has brought me a long way in helping me!”  For more information about LifeQuest USA go to https://www.lifequestusa.org/.
