I have been invited to attend Dannah Gresh Leadership Training
in the Dominican Republic.
Many of you women and moms out there may know already about
Dannah Gresh. For those who may not know her name; she is an amazing woman of
God and a pioneer in leading young girls and women around the world to live
lives of modesty and purity. She is the author of many books such as And The Bride Wore White, The Lies Young Women Believe, and
Six Ways to Keep the Little in Your
Girl. She is also the Co-Founder along with her husband of the Pure Freedom
and Secret Keeper Girls organizations. I myself have read many of her books and
I led a small Bible study for Carmen and her friends using one of Dannah’s
devotionals.
Dannah Gresh is hosting Leadership Training in the Dominican
Republic November 4 – 6 of this year. She wants to branch out to helping young
women in the DR and is providing training to English-speaking missionaries and
leaders in that area. An invitation has been extended to three missionaries
here in Peru and I was offered one of the invitations.
This invitation came just a day after another missionary
friend, Laura, and I were talking to a local pastor about how his church teaches
God’s principals on purity, dating, and personal value in this area. And how we
can help reach the young women in an area where women are still struggling with
oppression. His church is a leader in the community with teaching the youth
about God. He was explaining that even in his church they are only teaching the
girls to get an education and then marry.
Many of you know I have always enjoyed working with youth
and have in some form or another been looking for ways to get more involved. I
have been watching, listening, and asking God to show me how to help here. I
see a huge need not just here in Peru but, it seems like everywhere to reach
out to young women. I feel they are facing so many struggles in today’s social
media world. In this area of Peru the excepted message in this male-dominated
cultural is so oppressive and damaging. I feel God is putting this opportunity
in my path to equip me to help young women not just here in Peru but wherever I
am.
Joel and I agree that this is an important opportunity. So, I am asking that you would join me in
prayer as I ask God to help me go to this training. I need to leave on Tuesday November
1, 2016 and return Tuesday November 8, 2016. The total cost for me to go to the
training is $1800. This sum is not part
of our budgeted expenses, so it must be over and above what we currently
receive. Thank you so much for all the
love and support you have given our family during this time of service to our
Father. You will never know how much your prayers and support have not only
meant to us but, to so many others!
God Bless,
Amy J
