The weeks that we are at SEEK, our base in Mbita, a couple of us girls have been going to a local schools called Mbita Primary for a girls talk. I never though I would find myself standing up infront of a class of 40 teens explaining how to use a pad and talking about sex but it has been so cool. Although it has been one of the hardest ministries I have done in Africa because I often feel helpless and extremely unqualified to answer these girls questions about abuse and such, but God is teaching me to go to Him for these girls. He has really put it on my heart to minister to these girls at Mbita Primary and to speak truth and life into them. Please pray for Jenessa, KC, Alison and me as we minister to them and try to build relationships with them; and for the girls that they will feel comfortable with us and continue to open up. I have been so encouraged because we have only been twice so far but the teacher in-charge has said that they are already more open with us than they are with her. It is totally God, he has something powerful for these girls and I am so excited to see what it is!

Dear Tara, There is a little song (I always have a song, ask Leigh while she is there–tee hee), that says “I won’t leave here like I came In Jesus Name”. This time is making such a difference in the lives of the precious people that you minister to and also those of us that are “sharing” your experiences back in the US. You are giving “Jesus” and that is the priceless gift.
I keep hearing some amazing stories about this outreach. You’re impacting the kingdom by serving this way! I can’t wait to hear more about the fruit of this outreach and your relationships with these women!
Remember TJ, it is not the seen that counts, but the unseen. Therefore because we cannot see, we need to trust God and put our faith in Him. So, just because you cannot “see” or “feel” what it is that Jesus through you and your wonderful team are doing in the hearts and lives of these precious young girls, be encouraged, keep the faith, because only Jesus is at work where it really counts – in the hearts of the young girls and in your heart too. Man I miss you Kiddo, but know you are doing God’s work.
It’s funny the ways the Lord uses us, but I know He’s using you with these girls! Praying for you guys!
Tara i am so excited for y’all and I will be praying. PS your picture is SO great 🙂 i miss you tons girl!!
