For the past 8 weeks I have been teaching a study called Cherish to 57 girls ranging in age from 10-18 years old. The Study is an open discussion that focuses on sexual purity based out of biblical teaching. I wanted the girls to see how they are cherished in Christ and how they are a gift to their husbands if they remain pure. I did have girls that have already been sexually active, so the study included in one full lesson the forgiveness of God for past sins and how they can move forward being pure. In the study it's called restoring their sexual purity. All 57 girls that completed the study, meaning they showed up weekly for lessons and did the homework that was involved, committed to remaining sexually pure. Many were excited about this study and had many questions even though some were relatively young. They are hungry for learning and that excites me. Each girl was awarded a certificate on the last day to celebrate the commitment they made ad the hard work they put into the homework. Even though this particular study is over, I will continue to meet with these girls on a weekly basis and do other Bible studies with them.

 

Please pray that God leads me in the next area of study. Please pray that the girls will want to learn more. Pray that I will be able to find a translator, the girls who were translating for me are moving onto the schools in the greater Manzini area to continue to teach the Cherish study.

Thanks to everyone for your continued prayer support, it means so much to me and I know that I wouldn't be able to do what I do, without all of you behind me. God bless!!
