When coming up with girls ministry ideas you need to think about how to help your girls overcome setbacks. People of all ages have setbacks and dissapointments. This seems to be especially true though when it comes to the age range that most of us minister to. The other issue is that at this age, most of the girls in our minstries do not have the experience, maturity, or stability to deal with many of these setbacks. This is where we step in. We need to help them to overcome these issues. We need to combine love and grace with wisdom and discipline to help them grow. We need to show them how we as Christians are supposed to handle setbacks and how we are supposed to be a loving community for others who are facing tough issues. This does not come easily and will take time. But this is an important part of disicpleship and learning how to deal with trials and adversity is a major part of developing Christian character.
