Mission Statement

Through the love of Jesus, women helping women, find their true purpose in life, learning to wait on God's best! The goal of this ministry is to get involved in the lives of young women, making this a home where all young women feel welcome because they experience the unconditional love that is poured out upon them. It is proven that children who eat five or more meals per week with those who care for them and want to know about their day are much less likely to have problems (Dobson). They do better in school, are less likely to be depressed, less likely to do drugs, less likely to be rebellious, or be in trouble with the law (Dobson). Also, they are more likely to be surrounded by a supportive group of friends (Dobson). This is also one of the reasons why God created the church: So we all will have a support system. We are not meant to survive in this world on our own.

Description

This ministry is open to all young women, most of us have struggled with low self-confidence and self-esteem at some point in our lives. Everyone has been touched by someone in their families, friends, schools, etc. that have dealt with this dual pronged problem. Two out of every three people deal with this feeling (Canfield). This number is too high and needs to be reduced. Here's another stat that will tug at your heart, 38% of all women will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 years old (Canfield). Enough is enough! We have to be a part of the solution to this problem by helping young women!

Meeting the Goals
In most homes both parents, or, a single parent are working, and the children are left on their own for long periods after school (BOL). So we, the ministers and workers, want to make this ministry for young women thrive so they have an extended support system at Amazing Grace at Logan Place in that absence. There will be dinner meals provided by a volunteer cooking ministry who will let the young women be involved in the preparation of the meals if they have a desire to learn to cook. There will be a volunteer gardening ministry for those who want to learn to garden. There will be one-on- one mentoring if the young women need help on a more personal issue. There will be movie nights, eat right and fitness education, and many other activities all designed to show the young women that they can succeed and that we, the ministers care. This ministry is meant to work with parents and make life a better place for these young women.
