The stage lights were bright and almost blinded you, but it didn’t matter – I could FEEL the energy of thousands of teenaged girls in the arena. They were there to celebrate Jesus and his mandate to “Go and Tell.” (missions)Girls from all over the United States gathered in Kansas City for a fun time of learning and fellowship. I had the opportunity to be a presenter. My friend Margie and I hosted an interactive booth where the girls ran our video cameras and interviewed people. We taught the girls about a different kind of missionary job – the one that we do - media. I also taught a workshop and spoke in worship service.
The one word that sums up this event was “energy.” Girls were so excited to try every missions experience put in front of them. A group of college girls spent the night in a homeless shelter all in an effort to understand that life and how they could minister. One night, the teenagers focused on the Middle East. They ate Middle Eastern food, put on henna tattoos, visited with Muslim-Background believers, and watched a movie outside on the grass. It was great fun!
Pray for the girls who attended the event. God will call out many of these girls to be missionaries (International and North American), as well as involved in local ministries. Pray for their continued growth in their relationship with Jesus.
