Dear Minister,

I know you have a lot of things going on, but even through all of that you still find the time to see me. You help me through the struggles of life, and I don't let you know how much that means to me. You have truly blessed my life more than you know. Thanks!

Love, a girl in your life that looks up to you!

"And now friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the repsonsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!" 1 Thessalonians 5: 12-13

Thanks to so many ministers like you, teens are being reached in incredible ways. Thank you for your time, energy, support and advice. Don't forget that you need fed too. One mistake many ministers make is that they help take care of so many they end up neglecting themselves. We pray that God will continue to fill you up with His spirit and passion.

Below are some resources that might help you with the girls in your group or even provide some uplifting that you might be needing. Maybe God bless you today with energy to keep going strong for the teens in this world. Without a doubt, they need YOU.
