This week at girl's bible study, we decided to switch things up. Being that we only have one more week left with them, we transitioned from leading, to training some of the girls to lead, in hopes that they will fill our positions when we leave them. Christina, one of the high school Karenni girls stepped up and offered to lead this week. She did an amazing job, and discussed with the girls the passage in Luke on the good samaritan.
After the Bible study, we invited all of the girls to spend the night at our house and have a henna party. There is a story from creation to Christ that is drawn into the henna designs.
Some of the girls got really artistic, and it was a great time to hang out and bond with the girls.

These were some of our favorite phrases :)
Some of the American girls got involved that live here and can continue to invest in the teens when we leave.
Christina, the girl who led that night, and is hoping to lead the girls after we leave shared some henna with us. This one says, "Trust God" in Karenni.
Please pray for these young ladies that the older girls will really step up and be leaders. Pray that God would continue to help them grow in the word and in their walk with Him. Pray that God would guide these girls in what He has for them, as many are going to graduate soon, and a few are interested in mission work. Pray that God will use them to reach other Karenni girls across America that do not have a church, or a Christian group like these girls do.
