Just. As fifty twenty four was

0:08

meant for evil, got term? forget to

0:11

save. Many lives I'm on overcome.

0:13

By the but alam in the water.

0:15

My testimony because I went through something

0:17

so that the next woman doesn't have

0:19

to. That's.

0:21

Jean Marie Davis referring to her

0:23

remarkable and at times, her riffing

0:25

journey from human trafficking to a

0:27

new life and Jesus Christ I'm

0:30

John Folder in this is Focus

0:32

On Family with Jim Daily. We

0:34

share the first part of Jeans

0:36

Story last time and we're looking

0:38

forward to part to today. Of

0:40

course, this content isn't going to

0:42

be suitable for younger listeners, so

0:44

be aware of that and we'd

0:46

recommend you direct your attention elsewhere.

0:48

John Gene Story is unbelievable in

0:50

so many respects. For more than

0:53

twenty years she was trapped in

0:55

the nightmare world of sex trafficking

0:57

where she endured such cruelty and

0:59

abuse that it's amazing she still

1:01

alive today. A brings tears to

1:03

my to think about Gene as

1:05

a little girl simply looking for

1:07

love and affection like we all

1:09

want in this life. But the

1:12

men she encountered, including her own

1:14

father, treated her like a product

1:16

to be used for their own

1:18

perverse and carnal indulgence and then

1:20

tossed aside. As if she

1:22

was garbage. That's the tragic legacy

1:24

of the multi billion dollar human

1:26

trafficking industry which is robbing the

1:29

freedom of nearly twenty five million

1:31

people here in the Us and

1:33

around the world. But as we

1:35

heard last time, Gene was able

1:37

to escape from that endless cycle

1:39

of violence, drugs, and sex on

1:42

demand. She made her way to

1:44

a pregnancy resource center where woman

1:46

named Fellas offered her help at.

1:48

this is such a powerful story

1:50

of redemption. If you miss the

2:22

2:24

story today on Focus On The Family

All that I ended up at the

2:33

3:51

4:00

was another child years ago. yes and

4:03

I know you don't talk about him

4:05

much but year mom and dad played

4:07

a role in that. what happened yet?

4:09

As so I have my son so

4:11

I have got rates. ah and I

4:13

didn't make it home in time. I

4:16

and my father looked at me and

4:18

said you need to lease and I

4:20

said okay I'll take my son with

4:22

mean he said no you take them

4:24

on one call the cops. And

4:27

he's as you go and at the

4:30

age of to. Really? Talk.

4:35

No, No, I mean that's. The.

4:38

Heart of it. M M.

4:41

The. Pay. I

4:48

sat around. And

4:50

I'll never forget. my son was two years

4:52

and I was in that and the bathroom.

4:55

And I sat on a tweener with them ice

4:57

and and mess up past but mommy has to

4:59

go. At

5:02

I left wrist as. And

5:06

that's when I got deep into Crystal

5:08

Masts. Because.

5:11

I didn't have any hope anymore except was

5:13

my babies. And

5:15

so that my parents are so

5:17

focused the of my son. And

5:20

then at the age of for. My

5:23

dad looked at me and he says

5:25

you're dead to us, I have what's.

5:27

Your son know that your dad and

5:29

we want nothing. To. Do with you and

5:31

you could your so when he's eighteen

5:33

but you can't come around and you

5:36

will not. Know where we're at

5:38

Am. I haven't spoken or see

5:40

my son since he was four

5:42

years old. And

5:45

so on when i looked sl

5:47

as. And i when

5:50

i was told her that i was abortion mind

5:52

of i said to her i said. If

5:55

it's a girl, You. kid

5:57

convinced me to keep her because i don't want my

5:59

daughter to go through the same stuff. I

6:02

said, but if it's a boy, I said, I'll

6:04

keep him. I said, maybe I'll have hope and maybe

6:06

it will be a second chance for me to be a

6:08

mom and replace my

6:10

son. And so

6:12

I remember I was in the

6:14

program and I was going to name my son all

6:16

of the pimp's names and

6:19

it was like eight men's names and

6:22

the pastor said

6:24

to me, no you're not gonna

6:26

name him that. God's gonna name

6:28

him Jonah. I

6:31

said, okay, so then we look up and we

6:33

saw that. They said, well, what about Nathaniel? So

6:37

Jonah Nathaniel was what I named my

6:39

son and then I came to realize

6:41

that his name means new beginnings with

6:43

God. Gene,

6:48

again, with all the loss that you're experiencing,

6:50

I mean, I just got to keep coming

6:52

back to this because I don't feel like

6:54

I've got it yet. Where

6:57

you could experience

6:59

beatings, somebody trying to kill you

7:01

and shoot you, raping you, pimping

7:03

you. It's more

7:05

than most of us are ever gonna experience in our

7:08

lives, even a little bit of

7:10

that, if any. I

7:12

am just like, girl,

7:15

where in the world did

7:17

you find any hope? I

7:20

mean, people that would have gone through your life, other people,

7:24

it's a dead end for them. They

7:26

may have killed themselves. They

7:28

did escape into a lifetime

7:31

of drugs. They did

7:34

end up in a dead end. Why

7:37

not you? Why

7:40

not me? Wow,

7:44

I think that's the first time somebody asked me that question. Why

7:47

not me? Because I've

7:50

been searching and looking and looking and

7:52

then the woman at the well,

7:54

right, where she goes,

7:56

I know a man who's told me everything about

7:58

me. that's

8:01

when I said that's me he

8:04

told me everything about

8:06

who I am where I came from

8:09

even to the depths of my

8:11

pain and why people

8:14

think that we people do drugs just because

8:16

doing drugs no no I did drugs because

8:18

I literally didn't want to feel the pain

8:20

of the loss of my older son I

8:23

didn't want to feel the pain of the

8:25

fact that I had slept over thousands of

8:27

men unprotectedly because

8:30

of me being a heavy-set woman I

8:32

needed to make the same amount of money

8:35

as someone that was a Barbie in California

8:37

or whatever you want to call them and

8:39

I had to match their money so I needed

8:41

to do things that basically

8:44

put me in the jeopardy of receiving

8:46

AIDS and HIV and stuff and by

8:48

the grace of God I don't have

8:50

anything you know

8:53

amazing right I mean I was hooked

8:55

on the crystal meth and I'm supposed

8:57

to have no teeth and those are

8:59

all these are all my real teeth

9:01

and stuff because for some reason there

9:03

was I can literally look

9:06

back and see the hand of God just cover

9:08

me and protect me there was drug dealers that would

9:10

say after you do crystal meth go wash your mouth

9:12

out and do this to your mouth and and all

9:14

this so you get all the junk out of it

9:16

like so I would go get high and then go

9:18

wash my mouth and it was like and

9:21

I look back and I have Dennis tell me your

9:23

teeth are the best teeth I've ever

9:26

seen after a person who's done drugs like

9:29

and I'm supposed to have scars on my

9:31

face because most people pick their faces and

9:33

I don't have that so I sit there

9:35

and I look at how God has covered

9:37

me with the hope that

9:39

little spark that's illa showed me and

9:41

I've ran with this sense and I

9:43

and I tell women that are being

9:45

prostituted now I tell them all the

9:47

time I said what's the worst case

9:49

scenario you try this man named Jesus

9:51

out and maybe your

9:54

life will change or it'll

9:56

stay the same what's the worst what's harm to it that's

9:59

A great. Once wrote a good way

10:01

to put try to Jesus's let me

10:03

ask you have so us. Was

10:06

I believe the director at the

10:08

time of the Pregnancy Resource Center

10:10

where she knows she was at

10:12

Klein Service Manager so she worked

10:14

at a Pregnancy Cancer center? Yes,

10:16

And in that context, that's how

10:18

you got connected to the work

10:20

of pregnancy research centers. Kind.

10:23

Of I mean you became familiar with

10:25

them He? Well yes. So I knew of that

10:27

one. but I did not know. I knew of the. Sensor

10:29

that I once you, but I didn't know

10:31

if there was more. I. Just knew

10:34

of that one. Okay, and then I'd

10:36

So how did that grow? Because now

10:38

what do you do Held the Director

10:40

of a Pregnancy center? Somewhere

10:43

probably I. Saw

10:46

somewhere from that day of looking and

10:49

phyllis his eyes at that Pregnancy resource

10:51

Center to today, right? Did you become

10:53

better informed about what they do well

10:55

and how much time to that taken?

10:58

How did you get involved A selfless

11:00

ad says I looked at her and.

11:02

I said now was. And I think this

11:04

is where. The narrative comes into play where we

11:06

break it so I looked sl as and

11:09

I said now what I'm homeless, I'm pregnant

11:11

and zero eight mins any keep my town

11:13

now where And so she got me and

11:15

so program But because I said to her

11:17

now what. Das. When I challenge

11:19

to her and she started a Hong

11:21

Kong household New Hampshire from that conversation

11:23

that conversation wow and so it was

11:26

funny because I was at the program

11:28

as I see I brought me to

11:30

and it was an odd December sex

11:32

and she spoke at the gala and

11:34

the next day which was December seventh

11:37

I had my son Gianna. And

11:39

so the joke. Is all because I speaks the

11:42

fills does all because I see so much that

11:44

out my nineteen the so strong that you had

11:46

the baby. Efforts

11:48

as so. From there I

11:50

went to Bible College and

11:53

I graduate my sources degree

11:55

in Biblical Theology. and

11:57

i was walking to work one day

11:59

And the Holy Spirit said, House of

12:01

Hope, New Hampshire, cook. And I was like,

12:04

hey, Phyllis, I think I'm supposed to be working with

12:06

you. And so

12:08

December 7th of 2018, four years

12:10

later, she had

12:12

opened the home the same day my soul was born. And

12:16

so I went in,

12:18

I moved in, and I became a living staff

12:20

member. And so we're working and stuff, but she

12:22

knew that I was called. And I told her,

12:24

if we all agreed, I'm an evangelist. So,

12:27

and she knew that her being a director

12:29

and me don't work together

12:31

because she's like, Jean, you're stepping

12:34

down. I'm the director, you're not.

12:36

I go, okay, Phyllis. And

12:38

so- But you know I can run things.

12:42

So I say, so she said, you gotta get,

12:44

you gotta get out, you gotta spread your wings. And I

12:46

said, well, wait a minute. I said,

12:48

what's this Christian life look like outside of

12:50

the program? And I started the

12:52

safety net, like, you know. And so

12:55

I went and worked at the hospital as

12:57

a HR, a

13:00

person, and I was tired of

13:02

it. And I was like, this isn't what

13:04

God's called me to do. And

13:06

I yelled at God, I said, God, I

13:08

said, you have called me to be

13:11

in ministry full time. I said, if

13:13

you don't move, then I'm

13:16

not gonna ask you ever again about this,

13:18

but you've told me. And

13:20

then it was a Thursday. That

13:22

took a little gut. That's right. You

13:25

should hear the conversation when he got here. He

13:28

always wins. And

13:30

so I'm driving to work and I'm

13:32

furious at him. And Phyllis sends

13:35

me a clip called

13:37

Don't Quit. And I was like, oh,

13:39

okay, God. And then Friday I

13:42

said, hey, Phyllis, can I come see you? And she

13:44

goes, yeah, so I go and see her. And I

13:46

was telling her about it. And she was like, me

13:48

and Mr. Bill, which is her husband, we've been praying

13:50

for you. And she goes, wait, wait, wait,

13:53

I got something for you. And I said, okay.

13:55

And she goes, come with me. And so she

13:57

hands me an application. And

14:00

I go, what's this? And she said, this is to be,

14:02

you got to fill out. This is what she said. She said,

14:04

fill it out now. She said, make

14:06

a copy and you're going to be a director.

14:08

I was like, of what? But

14:11

I like the sound of that. And

14:14

she was like, just fill it out. So I'm looking

14:16

at it, I take it, I get it, I'm looking

14:18

at it. And the next day, that Saturday,

14:20

I wrestled with God because I read him

14:22

and said, executive director of a pregnancy

14:25

center. And I said, Lord, I'm

14:27

not qualified. I looked at everything

14:29

that they asked. I had to call my pastor. I said, what

14:31

do I do? I said, how do

14:33

I help? I'm just Jean, like,

14:35

what do I do? And he was

14:37

like, what are you doing? And I said, I'm

14:40

filling out an application to be a director of a

14:42

pregnancy center. He called Phyllis. He said, what did you

14:44

do, Phyllis? And she

14:46

goes, she needs to step out and say. Isn't

14:50

it amazing how God can orchestrate

14:53

events and situations towards something even

14:55

greater than we could ever imagine?

14:58

Today on Focus on the Family with

15:00

Jim Daley, we're hearing the remarkable story

15:03

of Jean Marie Davis, who suffered for

15:05

decades as a victim of sex trafficking.

15:08

But God had a better destiny planned

15:10

for Jean. And what

15:12

we love about this story is the pivotal

15:14

role that pro-life Christians played in giving Jean

15:16

hope for a better future. Now,

15:19

you too can have that kind of

15:21

impact by becoming a pro-life advocate. And

15:23

one way that you can do that

15:25

is by joining us for Sea Life

15:27

24. It's an

15:29

event coming in mid-June, and we'd love to have

15:31

you join us. It'll be

15:34

a great opportunity for you to network

15:36

with other believers and to discover practical

15:38

ways you can help save babies and

15:40

their mothers from abortion. All

15:42

the details are in the show notes. And

15:45

now here's the conclusion of our conversation

15:47

with Jean Marie Davis on today's Focus

15:50

on the Family with Jim Daley. I

15:55

said, God's called me. I

15:57

said, I know God's called me. And I remember...

16:01

This non-believer at my hospital

16:04

had a dream. And

16:07

when she shared the dream, the

16:10

Holy Spirit fell on me. And I said, okay, what

16:14

does this mean? And that Monday morning

16:16

when I was driving to work, the Lord downloaded

16:18

the dream to me. And then

16:20

he says, share it with your coworkers.

16:23

And I said, wait a minute. Okay.

16:26

And so the dream was this, that

16:28

a woman was standing going

16:30

through a file cabinet and a man

16:33

was running past her in a military

16:35

clothes, going out the building. And

16:37

the woman saw that man and she

16:40

ran after him. And when she

16:42

got outside that building, there were

16:44

dead children that were standing there. And

16:47

she pushed her way through those dead

16:49

children. And all of

16:51

a sudden she saw a parade

16:53

coming down and to her right,

16:55

the trumpets was blowing. And

16:58

I don't know if you all know what trumpets mean. I'm a

17:01

big trumpet person. That's always

17:03

fascinated me when I became a Christian. Trumpets

17:06

have three meanings. One, it meant

17:08

going to war. Two, it meant

17:10

victory. And then the

17:13

other one was a celebration that

17:15

they've won the war. And

17:17

so I saw that and I

17:20

shared that. And it was a, you know,

17:22

these are nonbelievers. So they were kind of

17:24

shocked that I did that. And it's a

17:26

political thing and stuff. And then I quit.

17:29

Well, good way to go out. But

17:34

what's really cool is,

17:36

and I think Robin was there this

17:38

year at the March for Life. And

17:41

I told Jeannie Mancini, the president of March for Life,

17:44

I said the dream that the

17:46

Lord showed me actually came to

17:48

pass at the March for Life this year. They

17:53

had, so the day before the March

17:55

for Life, we were at a

17:57

press conference with the Congress. was

18:00

Jews that were there and

18:02

my pastor, he's a messianic Jew and there

18:04

was Jews and I recognized him but I

18:06

didn't connect dots and all of a sudden

18:08

I went up and I had

18:10

shared my testimony and I said

18:12

Jesus because he

18:15

says if you profess my name before

18:17

man I will profess your name before

18:19

God. So I make it adamant to

18:22

say his name at all times. That's

18:24

possible. After I shared it, the

18:26

trumpet's blue and I

18:28

don't know if you were there at the march or

18:31

if you saw it but they were playing drums and

18:34

they were singing and when

18:36

the Jericho walls came down what

18:38

did they do for those days before

18:40

they walked around and they sang.

18:43

They didn't do anything but walk around and blow

18:46

the trumpet and sang. So the Lord brought me

18:48

to a place where I sat and I was

18:50

standing and I looked down and he goes look

18:52

at the bird eye view that I have and

18:54

what my people are doing for the Jericho

18:56

walls to come down. There's going to be

18:59

a shift that's going to happen in this

19:01

nation and I said he goes

19:04

get ready and I said well now I haven't

19:06

shared that with a lot of people so I think the

19:08

shift is on. I mean it's happening and

19:13

people are changing their perspective.

19:15

Gen Z are moving

19:18

to a more pro-life position. And I was

19:20

telling some people because of the fact that

19:22

they want somebody who's real. They

19:26

want rawness. This

19:28

is the first time to be very honest with you. I've

19:30

talked about my first son on an interview

19:33

but apparently someone needed to hear that.

19:35

I appreciate

19:37

your courage that way. You know Gene

19:39

the pregnancy resource centers are doing such

19:42

great work. Yeah. Let me give you

19:44

just a minute to kind

19:46

of summarize all the outreach that's going

19:48

on. Here's what I want to respond

19:50

to so often when I'm in Washington

19:52

DC meeting with people who oppose the

19:55

pro-life community. They'll say all you do is

19:57

care about the baby. Nobody cares about the

19:59

woman. And I will say that's such a 1973

20:01

argument, which it really is. It

20:06

did take time for the church to catch up

20:08

to say we need a more holistic approach

20:10

to helping women and their children. But

20:13

my goodness, they far exceed

20:16

any abortion clinic in helping women. And

20:19

so it's almost like a mirror they're reflecting in, right? Right.

20:22

They're accusing us of not helping women,

20:24

but these PRCs really do. Right. Just

20:27

quickly explain that. So I

20:29

can explain about my PRC. Sure. So I've

20:31

taken the approach where we just don't focus

20:34

on the woman, we focus on the family.

20:37

That's a great name, by the way. I

20:39

like that. It has a good ring to it. Right.

20:43

I'm very

20:46

much for men, which

20:49

is counterintuitive, right? Because I just said that

20:51

I couldn't stand a man. But

20:54

I am very much for men

20:56

being men, men being the

20:58

men of God in the home, especially

21:01

being a black woman and

21:03

knowing that abortion, which is murder.

21:05

And I've told people this. Let's

21:08

stop talking political talk and

21:10

just talk straight because

21:12

this generation needs just straight talk.

21:15

So this murder that's happening was

21:17

for the black community and for

21:19

the Latino community. And because

21:22

of that, the government has taken the

21:24

men out of the homes and replaced

21:26

it with the government being their baby

21:28

daddy. So now that they have

21:30

all these children and stuff and nobody's

21:32

raising these children, we need to put

21:34

men back into the home. But

21:36

men don't feel as if they are

21:39

accepted or being men. And

21:41

so women need to stand up and say,

21:43

no, you can be a man. It's okay

21:45

to be men. And so

21:47

that's what our organization is

21:50

focused on at Branches

21:52

is we work together with the community,

21:55

the state of Vermont says that we don't get

21:58

along with our community. Well, I

22:00

love to challenge the devil every time. So

22:03

I went and I sit with

22:05

the town and I talk with the police

22:07

department and I've only been

22:09

a director for 15 months and

22:11

I said we're going to do something

22:14

different because Jean wants

22:16

to set the standard.

22:20

We're as Christians are called to set the standard.

22:23

And so I said we're going to open up to the community.

22:26

So 160 people came to

22:28

our first gala last year. Out

22:31

of the 160 there was

22:33

the second largest

22:35

hospital in Vermont who is

22:38

pro-choice, very liberal who bought

22:40

a table. The

22:44

police department bought a table. There

22:47

was 33 non-believers, four

22:50

of them were pro-choice people and

22:53

two people got saved at the

22:55

gala. I love that. Wow. Good

22:58

for you. Totally.

23:02

Well, and I wanted to just close

23:05

with that. When you

23:07

look at that there has to be some sense of

23:10

divine poetry that you have

23:12

moved from this place to

23:15

this place. A place of death

23:17

into a place of life. And

23:20

that's what I did with one of the girls that I saw on the

23:22

streets. I got her in the car, I told her to throw away her

23:24

cigarette and get in the car. And she had

23:26

just did crack and she was like I'm hungry

23:28

and I have food. I said eat. And she goes I

23:31

don't understand why I'm hungry. I said I know why you're

23:33

hungry. Because I was in that same

23:35

home. And then I told her I used to do Christmas

23:37

and she was like really? And I said I used to

23:39

be a prostitute. She's like I'm a prostitute too. And

23:42

I said really? I said are you done with that life? I

23:45

know a man named Jesus. And

23:48

so those are the types of things that I do.

23:50

I go. You know who you

23:52

are is Mary Magdalene. I

23:56

know a man named Jesus. And you

23:58

have to meet him. Yes. I mean, how

24:00

awesome. But what a

24:02

tough way to go. Let me ask you

24:04

just to end with where we started because

24:06

I think now people better understand when you

24:08

say I had to go through all this

24:11

so someone would not have

24:13

to go through it. Just say it in

24:15

your own words again. Genesis 50, 20,

24:18

what was meant for evil got turned for good

24:21

to save many lives. I'm an overcomer

24:23

by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony

24:25

because I went through something so that the

24:28

next woman doesn't have to. Wow.

24:31

That is so beautiful. Well,

24:37

Jean Marie Davis, I have so

24:39

enjoyed a very tough story and

24:41

I'm so grateful that you're willing to share it with

24:44

us and share it with the world. So thank you

24:46

for that. Thank you for your life.

24:48

Thank you for your sons. And

24:50

I really enjoyed meeting Jonah who's

24:52

with us. And God bless

24:54

you. Thank you. God bless you. What

24:59

an incredible two-part conversation with Jean

25:01

Davis, a former victim of human

25:04

trafficking. She was rescued out

25:06

of that nightmare by God's grace and

25:08

the work of a pregnancy resource center. And

25:11

now Jean is involved in that same

25:13

kind of ministry. And this is Focus

25:15

on the Family with Jim Daley. I'm

25:17

John Fuller. John, I'm so thankful for

25:19

the great work that pregnancy resource centers

25:21

or PRCs as they're known are

25:23

doing all across the country. Like

25:26

what happened with Jean. These centers are

25:28

ready and willing to help transform

25:30

a woman's life and give her

25:32

a better choice for her pre-born

25:35

child. And the work doesn't

25:37

stop with saving a baby. Focus on

25:39

the Family wants to help PRCs to

25:41

develop a holistic strategy where women who

25:44

choose life for their child can get

25:46

extra services and training. Like finding a

25:48

job and a place to live and

25:51

connecting them with medical personnel and so

25:53

much more. Of course

25:55

we need the entire Christian community to

25:57

get involved. That's why we've established.

26:00

our Sea Life campaign to

26:02

spread awareness about pro-life issues,

26:04

recruit advocates for life

26:06

in today's culture, and empower friends like

26:09

you to support a PRC in your

26:11

local area. And there are two key

26:13

ways that you can join our pro-life

26:16

team here at Focus. One

26:18

would be to give generously to Option

26:20

Ultrasound. Another would be to

26:22

sign up to attend or watch our

26:25

Sea Life event in June. That's right,

26:27

your financial support of Option Ultrasound helps

26:30

Focus equip pregnancy medical centers with

26:32

training and machines so they can

26:34

provide free ultrasounds to women who

26:37

are considering abortion. Over

26:39

and over again we've seen hearts

26:41

change and babies saved because a

26:43

woman sees her child on the

26:45

screen. And for a gift of $60 you

26:48

can help save both mother and child

26:50

from abortion. So thanks to

26:52

some generous friends of this ministry

26:55

we have a matching opportunity going

26:57

on in May and June where

26:59

any gift you send to Focus on

27:01

the family for Option Ultrasound will be

27:03

doubled. And I can't think of a

27:05

better investment than that. I'd agree

27:08

Jim. We do hope you'll

27:10

make plans to attend our Sea Life

27:13

event on Saturday June 15th. You

27:15

can join us in person here in

27:17

Colorado Springs on our campus or you

27:19

can join virtually through our live stream

27:21

and all the details about Sea Life

27:23

and how you can donate to

27:25

Option Ultrasound or in the show notes or

27:28

call 800 the letter A and the word

27:30

family to learn more. Well

27:32

coming up tomorrow how a simple prayer

27:34

game of gratitude can transform the heart

27:36

of your child. So we go back

27:39

and forth thanking God for little things you know in

27:41

her room and she kind of turned to me and

27:43

took this deep breath and she said mom

27:45

for some reason this game really does make my

27:48

heart feel happy. On behalf of

27:50

the entire team thanks for joining us today for

27:52

Focus on the Family with Jim Daley. I'm

27:54

John Fuller inviting you back as we once again

27:57

hope you and your family Thrive in Christ.
