One of the girls ministry ideas that you need to be brainstorming is how to deal with the many emotions that the girls in your ministry will be feeling. Yes guys feel emotions too but it seems in the age range that is probably in your ministry, girls seem to face them a lot more. They are just going through a whole lot, dealing with body image issues, and being bombarded by the world with pressures and negative influences. You need to be prepared to help them deal with the emotions that will rise. You need to know when to be comforting and when to show some tough love. You need to be ready to acknowledge that emotions are natural and a part of life. It is okay to hurt and be sad. But we have to work through things so we can grow. Some of you will be great at this. You are natural comforters and exhorters. Some of us, like me, have to work on this a little. Wherever you fall in the spectrum just make sure you are always ready and willing to minister in whatever fashion is necessary and appropriate.
