About > Our Missionaries > Sophia

Hello! I’m Sophia Mittman, a 22 year-old materials scientist living in Boston, and am a 3rd year Missionary / 2nd year Route Leader / 1st year Support Crew member on the Ohio Route!

In a culture where the pressure to do everything on our own is real, in a crisis pregnancy, the loneliness and isolation that a woman feels is also very real. But, she is not alone, and she deserves to be loved and supported authentically throughout and after her pregnancy. I do Biking for Babies to lift these women up through Pregnancy Resource Centers, which step in and provide stability for women where family and friends might withdraw their support at the news of an unplanned pregnancy. I stand with these life-affirming centers to help women and new mothers go from a mindset of “I am a victim, I am a disgrace, I can’t do it,” to the reality of “I am trustworthy, I am strong, and I am capable of loving more than I ever thought possible.” 

Biking for Babies has shown me the undeniable beauty, truth, and goodness of what it means actually to be pro-life, and it has equipped me to share that reality with others in an actionable way. At the same time, it’s one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. But, when I think about it, in the same year I was born, over 1.25 million people lost their lives to abortion—when 4 million people were born that year. Statistically, that very well could have been me. Biking for Babies gives me the opportunity to step WAY out of my comfort zone to do hard things that encourage and enable others to embrace and celebrate life, just as my life was freely given to me. 

And so I continue another year of the B4B adventure to advocate for Pregnancy Resource Centers to help mothers, their children, and their families facing difficult pregnancies. I hope you’ll join me!
