My ministry with the teen girls has sky rocketed this week, which is a huge answer to prayer! Monday night at God Squad, the girls in my group all opened up and were 
really honest with what is going on in their lives. We had the best discussion that I think we have ever had. It was amazing!
really honest with what is going on in their lives. We had the best discussion that I think we have ever had. It was amazing!Over the last few months I have really struggled with the teens, especially my God Squad group. They wouldn't open up at all and it was like pulling teeth just to get them to talk. This week, however, was completely the opposite. All of the girls expressed a real desire to grow closer to God and they agreed that they will have to really work at it...and part of that includes being honest with one another. I can't wait until God Squad next week!
One of the girls, 
MC (who actually isn't in my group but I have been getting close to) had an amazing breakthrough this week. She has 2 jobs so she can't come to a lot of the events that we have, but she comes to church and God Squad faithfully. She has really been growing and seeking to grow even more. Unfortunately, she had her mom don't get along well and her mom doesn't really approve of her involvement in church. I approached her about meeting with me for discipleship this summer and she got really excited. I gave her a book to go through and we made a plan to meet next week. We prayed for her mom and that God would change her heart and I even made a plan to meet her mom next week when we meet.

MC went home from God Squad that night and showed her mom the book I gave her (Pastor Andy put it together and its a wonderful discipleship tool) and tole her mom that she was working with a mentor for the summer. That simple act from MC led to an incredible conversation where her mom admitted that she didn't like MC going to church because she thought she was only going to be with her boyfriend (who also attends God Squad). When her mom realized that she was pursuing this on her own she got very excited and fully supports her!!!! How amazing is God?!?!?!?
MC called me on Tuesday so excited about what happened and she is now even more motivated to deepen her relationship with God. I have really been praying that God would raise up some amazing women of God from within God Squad, and He is definitely doing that!!! Please pray for MC, C, and L...the three girls that I will be mentoring this summer. They are so beautiful and wonderful, and I want to make sure they know that!!
