As the people who come up with girls ministry ideas we probably have not been a student for a long while. In fact, many of us may have never even been a girl. This can put us in a special predicament. To overcome this we need to take a moment to put ourselves in the shoes of those we minister to. Think through what they deal with on a day to day basis. Consider what their needs are. Think about what truths they need to hear. Remember what it was like when you were that age and the things that you dealt with. Then once you have thoroughly done this you can be prepared to brainstorm, plan, and do ministry. This may be difficult but this practice is a necessity if you are going to effectively minister to others. Take the extra time, pray through this, and put yourself in the shoes of those you minister to.
