Hello Fellow GEMS Counselors in ACTS Area 23!
Wow! Can you believe that we are winding down our GEMS season, with only two more months of meetings? It is our prayer that you have learned much using the theme lessons on prayer this year. I know that I have grown considerably preparing and studying the lessons.
Will you be joining us at Bethel College in Minneapolis, July 22-24 for the GEMS Annual Counselors’ Leadership Conference? We will be learning about the theme for next year, Feed the Fire! Based on the scripture passages of Romans 12:11 and Revelation 3: 15-16, we will receive theme resources and fresh ideas. There will be sectionals to help you understand your girls, to encourage you in your Spiritual walk, as well as personal enrichment sectionals for your life. There is a great line up of mass meeting speakers, Marilyn Hontz, author and speaker. Angela Thomas, author and speaker, check out her website www.angelathomas.com. Along with Dr. Laurel Bunker speaking on Feed the Fire! Investing today for the harvest tomorrow, and Jan Boone delivering the theme speech! We hope to see you all in Minnesota!
Do your girls in club need a challenge? The Zambia, Africa presentation is still available for the next several weeks. The clubs that have had the African presentation, have so enjoyed it and loved seeing their girls so interested, listening intently, asking questions and have a new excitement for helping their GEMS sisters in Zambia. If you are interested in scheduling a presentation, contact Barb Miedema at wincobarb@yahoo.com or call at 616-891-8886.
As your club meetings wind down, we pray that you will have had a great GEMS year! That your girls will have learned much about prayer and that you will have made a difference in their lives. We praise God for your willingness to be used in this ministry. Bringing girls into a dynamic, living relationship with Jesus Christ! Thank you so much.
