 Why would the mother of two small children sign up for a women's ministry team? As she prepares to leave for the Czech Republic on Sunday, Amanda Swain admits it wasn't easy.
"The first two times I was approached about it, my response was, 'No way!' Even if we could manage to afford it, I couldn't leave the kids. And I get airsick, so the thought of flying was overwhelming. But the third time someone mentioned it to me, I started to think: "What if God is calling me to go?" Read more

Lighting the darkness
How would the people of a totally atheistic country treat one another? Would there be grace, forgiveness, mercy, compassion? Pray diligently and often for the Czech Republic team as they work with Czech believers to bring the love of Jesus to a people who have chosen to walk in darkness and futility of their own design. Pray for the Light of the World to enter many hearts and begin a revival. Pray for the team as they leave Sunday. |

You can help us
 In preparation for the 100th anniversary of girls' ministries in our churches, national SMM leaders are going through many year of archives and photos to retrace the history and recapture some of the memories. They've run into one problem-many of the photos in the archives are not labeled, so there is no way to know who is pictured, what church it was, or what year it might have been. If you were ever involved in SMM, we would appreciate it if you would go to our Facebook group and check out the photos we've posted, tagging them if you can. We will be posting additional photos as they become available.
