Sunday Ministry Session at St. Georges Girls School

On March 9th Laura Dickerson and I were given an opportunity to minister to the students at St. Georges Girls' School in Nairobi. This school holds a special place in my heart for two reasons; 1) it was the first school I ever visited with the CML Ministry and 2) the girls always hold an awesome student led Worship service! What a blessing joining such enthusiastic girls as they praised God, prayed and gave testimonies.

After worship, Laura gave a timely message “God's Truth About Women”. Acknowledging that many cultures and even some of the Churches founding forefathers taught that women had less potential than men, Laura wanted to assure the girls that God values them equally and that they can excel in all areas of life.

Expanding on the following 5 truths, Laura went on to encourage the girls to continue searching the scriptures to fully understand their value and potential.

1) God formed women and men equally in His image
2) Women and men are equally fallen
3) Women and men are equally redeemable through the life, death and resurrection of Christ
4) Women and men are equal heirs to the Kingdom
5) Women and men can be equally filled with the Holy Spirit

We thank Mrs. Wario and all the students of St. Georges for a wonderful time of fellowship.

In Christ,
Denise
