About Us
Our Loving Staff
Yvonne Brewer (President)
Yvonne Brewer served in a pregnancy center ministry for over 20 years. She helped found and later became the director of a PRC in Wilmington, OH. In 2006, she moved to Slovenia to help that country establish its first PRC. On her return, she moved to her home state of Idaho and has since been solely active in past abortion recovery ministry and helping with responders from HerChoicetoHeal.com. She has led Bible studies in prison and area pregnancy centers, mentored PRC volunteers in PA ministry and led PA recovery retreats.
Melissa Hardy (Board Member)
Melissa Hardy’s journey has included early motherhood, abortion, miscarriages, addiction, and broken relationships—but at 29, she turned to God and found healing, forgiveness, and freedom. After a retreat for post-abortive women, she felt called to help others experience the same restoration, partnering with Yvonne Brewer to found New Life Support Services and expand healing programs to prisons and churches. With over 20 years as a medical assistant, experience as a peer support specialist, and work with nonprofits like Love INC, Melissa now leads retreats and continues her studies in social work. Gratefully married, she is honored to serve God, her family, and her community through this ministry.
Martie Oestman (Treasurer)
Martie Oestman is honored and privileged to be a part of New Life Support Services. As a pastor’s wife and worship leader, she is and has been involved in many different aspects of ministry including women’s Bible studies, Encounter weekends, and leading music groups. She volunteered with support and training with the pregnancy center in Cheyenne, Wyoming. She is looking forward with great expectation to seeing God moving in the communities of Idaho.
Lindsey Dillbeck
Ambassador for Crossroads: Find Hope in Jesus | Crossroads Idaho
Lindsey battled depression and anxiety for years before finding healing and freedom at a Revive Retreat, where she learned to see herself through God’s eyes. Today, she teaches at retreats, sharing her testimony to help other women step into the same freedom in Christ. She lives in Melba, ID, with her husband Jeff, their four daughters, and their cockapoo, Winston, and together they look forward to celebrating six years of marriage and welcoming their first grandson this fall.
Leah Wisniewski
After attending two Revive Retreats in 2024, Leah experienced the healing and freedom she had long witnessed in others. She now serves as a voting Board Member and Prayer Coordinator for New Life, creating prayerful spaces where women encounter hope and restoration. Leah and her husband, David, have been married nearly three years, are raising two daughters, and are expecting a son in July.
Laura Neary
Ambassador at Christ’s Love Vinyard in Pocatello & Pocatello Prison Ambassador.
In 2022, while newly sober after 36 years of substance abuse, Laura attended her first Revive Retreat and experienced healing from the hidden pain of a past abortion—an encounter with Christ that changed everything. She now serves as a voting Board Member, retreat leader, and Southeastern Idaho Ambassador for New Life, and is renewing her social work license to help others find the same restoration in Jesus. A widow of 20 years of marriage, Laura is a proud mother of two and grandmother of two grandsons, and she is passionate about walking alongside women as they break free from shame and encounter God’s grace.
Jodi Eldridge
After attending her first Revive Retreat in 2022, Jodi experienced healing from decades of hidden pain, guilt, and shame following two abortions in her teens, finding freedom and victory in Christ. She now serves as a voting Board Member of New Life Support Services, leads Southeast Idaho Revive Retreats and Bible studies, and is an Ambassador for New Life. Blessed with her husband of 29 years, two daughters, and two sons-in-law, Jodi is grateful to see God using her story to help other women find healing and hope.
