And we're off...

For the Girls International Inc. has officially gone from a dream to a reality! 2008 has been a busy year of preparation for us so far. We are so excited about the response we have been receiving from the women we have shared the vision with. We took our first trip to New York City to join a team of women at NYSUM (New York School of Urban Ministry) in ministry.

Cynda and I led worship for the team as we prepared to go out to homeless shelters and women’s shelters in Queens and Brooklyn. The majority of our ministry time was participating in an “Ulitmate Makeover” event at a women’s shelter in Brooklyn.

The residents there were so happy to have us there and we got to individually encourage the women while doing make-up and manicures for them. Who doesn’t love a little pampering? The women soaked in the pampering but also eagerly received our encouragement to them. We wanted to let them know that depsite the circumstances that may have brought them to this place, God has a purpose and a plan for their lives.
We got to hear about their dreams and encourage them to pursue them. We did a little singing and one of the residents even joined in! It was a great time for them and for us.

Thanks for visiting FTGI. Feel free to scroll down to read our mission statement. For more information about For the Girls International and for booking you can view our profile and keep a lookout on this blog for upcoming events.

God is on the move in a big way in the lives of women and we are thrilled to be part of that movement!

Lots of Love,

Tracey and Cynda
