        A message from Angela       

 

Dear Friends,

As another school year begins, I am excited for a new opportunity to touch girls with the power of the gospel and the love of Christ. This is the most important thing we can do because, if Jesus tarries-- these girls--all girls-- who name the name of Jesus, are an integral part of the Church of tomorrow.  Some will take their place as mothers and some as leaders in churches, business, classrooms, courtrooms, and hospitals.

The girls we love and disciple have a divine purpose and we are privileged to bring Bible-based lessons that deal with relationship and behavior issues, to show them there is a better way.  This truth is in stark contrast to a self-centered worldview where scantily clad tween and teen girl idols’ lives tell a different story.  

This year’s national Girls Ministries theme is “Shine Like Stars.”  Philippians 2:14, 15 says, “Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.”

What a powerful scripture!  For you and me it is a reminder to let our light shine brightly before our girls-to model love, joy, and patience.  For our girls it is a challenge to give Jesus their talents so they can shine for eternity!   May we all shine like stars!


Yours for girls,

Angela
