Calling all Girls!!!!!

I am so so so happy to report some great news going on in Puerto Peñasco! The girls' bible study is meeting twice a week and is growing! Last night, we ran out of chairs and had to sit on buckets! God is so good. He is bringing girls of all different ages and places in their spiritual walk together to talk and study and have a great time doing it!

Now we're going to take it a step further. On July 16th, myself and a few other ladies will be putting on a 24 hour retreat for young girls ages 12-16. So far, we have been given access to a great big beach house to hold the event, we've created a schedule for the event, and we already have some of the needed volunteers on board. At this retreat, the girls are going to learn what it means to have Christ in their lives and to continue living a Godly life from here on out. They will hear speakers, attend classes, discuss in small groups, participate in activities, and worship together in a way that many of them have never been able to. If nothing else, by the end of those 24 hours, these girls will have heard about a God who loves them and wants their lives more than anything else in the world. I am so excited for this event and things are just coming together left and right. For crying out loud WE HAVE A HUGE BEACH HOUSE! In order to pull this off, I am going to need help from all of you back home. We are planning this event for 30 girls and it's going to cost about $35 a piece to cover food, activities, materials, and transportation. We want to put this event on for the girls free of charge to them. That being said, I know many of you have already donated and are invested in my stay in Mexico, so please don't feel obligated to donate again. But, to my family, friends, and readers who have not yet financially contributed to this cause and feel moved to do so, please use the Donate button on the home page of this blog. I will be able then to pull that money out from Mexico and put it directly toward the retreat. Again, if you would like to sponsor a girl to come to the retreat, the cost is $35. Any amount that you feel lead to give would be more than appreciated. I am confident that July 16-17 is going to be life changing for girls here in Rocky Point. Please pray that the planning would continue to go smoothly and that God would be our guide through the duration of this adventure. Thank you again for all of your support!
