Greetings!
We all have a lot to celebrate: wonderful opportunities to learn and grow, events and dates that are dear to our hearts, and the power of prayer. Let's celebrate them together this month. |

Are you over forty? |
|
|
|
 "Do you need to be in a relationship with an older Christian woman to grow spiritually?" Author Pam Lau recently asked 20 women under 40 that question. What can their answers tell those of us over 40 about their need and our calling? In an open letter to women over 40, Pam describes what it would look like for women in the older generations to mentor or disciple a younger woman in her faith journey. More

from Sharon MacMillan 
As we pray against the spiritual darkness that hovers like a thick ominous fog over us, can we be so bold as to ask God to raise up an army of prayer warriors that believe God for mercy and healing. Are you from another land? We link with you in coming before the Throne of the Sovereign Lord Jesus to pray according to His perfect will. In Africa-Thy kingdom come! In Portugal-Thy kingdom come! In Japan-Thy kingdom come! In Argentina-Thy kingdom come! In Mexico-Thy Kingdom come! In America-Thy Kingdom come! Keep it going women warriors! "Thy will be done on earth... for Your is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever."
And remember, if you want women to join with you in your intercession at any time you can send it by e-mail to our prayer coordinator. |

Different Celebrations 
by Jennifer Fretz
We are in the midst of a very important birthday week here at the Fretz house! A few days ago we celebrated the 5th birthday of our first born, Gwen, and in just a few more days we remember and celebrate the day we welcomed and said goodbye to our second daughter, Olivia.
I'll never forget the day I became a mom! Gwen was born after two days of labor and almost every delivery related complication imaginable except for a c-section but I didn't care! She was here and beautiful, healthy, and perfect! Olivia's birth was drastically different with an emergency (and terrifying) home birth and only six days with her, in the NICU, before we had to say goodbye. Two completely different birthdays for two completely different girls, but we celebrate them both! More |

 It's a shower!
Our daughter is turning 100! Women of Grace USA is a sponsor of SMM, the girls' ministry arm of the Fellowship. We're celebrating with special events at Momentum youth conference and at the Vision 2020 adult conference. The event at Momentum will feature a birthday party for hundreds of girls and their leaders, with special recognition awards and opportunities for future development. We'd like to give our daughter a shower to help with the celebration! We need items such as table decorations and supplies, souvenir gifts, and awards. Choose a shower gift here |

Our new office
We praise God for a special answer to prayer and His provision of office space in the Grace Brethren Investment Foundation building in Winona Lake. The office, to be used by Women of Grace and SMM, provides a place where WGUSA and SMM leaders can work, store materials, and meet with board members and volunteers. We are deeply grateful for the gracious hospitality of GBIF. |

You want to pray, but can't seem to find the right words, or even stay awake? If so, The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson may be a book that you would enjoy. More |
