Our Background
|
|
In 2015, Rusti Garcia sat in a Bible study and asked the ladies to pray for her. She knew God was calling her to a new adventure. At the same time, He was working on the hearts of others to join her. The result... God gave us each a desire to help desperate pregnant women. We launched our mission with a short video, social media accounts, and t-shirt sales. Now after years of praying, planning, many fundraisers, and depending on our faithful community, our first home is built!
Upon opening this home in 2022, House of Mary will provide women a Christ-centered place to live during their pregnancies. We will be able to house up to eight women (18 and older) at a time and they will be able stay up to two months postpartum. We pray that we can not only help meet their "home" needs, but show them God's unending love and grace. |
Our Mission
Equipping, empowering, and enabling women to raise the “Timothy Generation" by providing a welcoming, loving, and healthy home atmosphere to women, in crisis pregnancy situations, that choose life and love for the child.
“I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and,
I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” – 2 Timothy 1:5

Education: Bible studies and discipleship, finances, budgeting, parenting, adoption, healthy cooking, nursing, birthing, social etiquette, couponing, daily health and hygiene for mom and baby.
Connections: Local churches, GRACE Pregnancy Outreach, Embrace Grace, Work Force Solutions, WIC, and Medicaid.
Extras: Counseling (self, baby’s father, or family), mentors, discipleship, baby showers, transportation, tutors, encouragement and love.
End Result: An independent God seeking woman, who desires to provide more for her baby spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally.
