Save your change to make a change! #EmpoweredJesusGirl<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every year, Grace in the Wilderness Ministries hosts a teen conference towards the beginning of the year for girls 5th<\/sup> \u2013 12th<\/sup> grade called, Empowered Jesus Girl. This has been a growing success over the years and a great source of unity among local teens from various churches, backgrounds, and communities! It has been such a blessing to watch teen girls forget about their worries, worship freely, and grow closer to God at this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years back, we charged each teenager a fee for food and worship. It wasn\u2019t the best scenario, but at the time it was the only way the event could go on. A few years back, we prayerfully decided to step out on faith and make this a FREE<\/strong> event. We reached out to the community and let God lead us in the direction HE wanted us to go. Within a few weeks, we had the event booked, a band and speaker in place, and multiple volunteers to assist wherever there was a need. We trusted and God provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust\nin the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.\u201d\nProverbs 3:5<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From then on, we have had a vast variety of volunteers that\nhelp with decorations, food preparations, registration, light\/sound crew,\nmusic, and speaking. It\u2019s amazing to see the provision God has blessed us with\nover the years! He has used this event for His glory and allowed it to grow\nevery year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I spoke at Empowered Jesus Girl, we had\naround 50-75 teen girls. A year later, we had close to 100, then about 150, and\nlast year we had over 250 attendees! God is using this event to reach girls\naround the Upstate and start a revival that only He can direct! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Lord wills, we hope to grow even more in the coming years\nand reach more teens for the glory of God! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, the only cost for this event from the ministry is the pizza. As you know, teenage girls love their pizza and feeding 250 teenagers gets pretty expensive. So I\u2019m asking you to help me help others! No matter your age, no matter your connection to Empowered Jesus Girl, you can make a difference in the lives of others! Every penny counts and every penny is one penny closer to allowing someone to join this event, learn about Jesus, and get a FREE meal at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save your change to make a change!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One way you can serve\nit to simply save your change to make a change!<\/strong> We all end up with pockets\nfull of change and pennies without purpose that sometimes fall to the wayside.\nI ask you to set out a jar somewhere in your home and write \u201cEmpowered by\nChange\u201d on it. Over the next few months, clean out your pockets, old\npocketbooks and bags, and maybe even look under the couch for lost coins, and\ntoss them in your jar. Over time, your\njar will start to fill up and you\u2019ll see how quickly your change can make a\nchange! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
