Girls Bible Study


Girls Bible Study-
Kenzi Couch and i have started doing a Bible Study with the girls of the Esperanza(hope) house which is apart of our hope program. for the past couple months we have been meeting once a week or more just to hang out and build our relationships with these sweet girls. each one of them is very unique and very different from eachother. over the past few months, kenzi and i have felt closer to them and are very excited about the opportunity that has come to start teaching them about who Jesus Christ is. Their lives right now are full of many things. many thoughts and many questions, i am sure, are going through their heads. that is where Kenzi and i come in. we want to encourage them, love them, and most of all be able to express that God loves them and has an incredible plan for their lives. We already love them so much i can't even
imagine how much more we will as we get to know them deeper.
the cool thing about God is i already know His hand is in this. The other day we asked the girls what they wanted to study out of the Bible. they said they wanted to study a book of the Bible. we said "okay, what book" and they all said "Esther". Kenzi and i for the past 7 weeks have been doing an in depth study on Esther by Beth Moore. and not only is that the Lords hand. I have found out that before Esther was Queen, she was an orphan. there is no mistake that these girls want to study Esther. i am so excited for this opportunity. I would love if you all would be praying for our time together, it is much needed.
Please be praying for :
*the girls: yessica, alejandra, alejandra (2), katya, perla, sandy
*language barriers (kenzi and i to be able to translate everything)
*trust among all of us
*just to enjoy eachother as sisters of Christ
