New Mexico Dream Center Executive Director Shelley Repp and Lead Client Case Manager Abby McClelland are part of a special ministry rescuing children from sex traffickers. Abby said, “Our clients have had only had experiences with unhealthy people, and we want them to know how healthy relationships look. We always talk about the future and less about the past. We focus on building relationships with our clients to show them (an example) a healthy relationship and show them they are worthy. They deserve to be heard because for so long, they have been told they are worthless.” If you need help, call or text the New Mexico Dream Center Hotline at NMDC Hotline 505-504-1301. More information is available at https://www.nmdreamcenter.org/our-story.

Peter Martin is an Associate Pastor at Calvary Christian Fellowship in Tucson, AZ. He is the author of “Rooted in Sin: Rescued By Love” and “The Fellowship of Suffering.” He teaches about living the Christian life and issues of sexuality, trauma, and hope. Peter said, ” (In our ministry, Running Light) We teach men and women to produce a culture of accountability and confession to help them deal with their issues. Two-thirds of all men view pornography. One-third of all women.”

It is common today to hear from women that their husbands demand demeaning sexual situations from them that are not Biblical. Peter said, “If your husband is looking at you saying your body is mine, you have to do what I want sexually-that is not Biblical. That is not what first Corinthians 7 is talking about. It’s a sacrificial passage where the husband is supposed to look at you and say, my body is for your betterment.”
