The first person truly listening to them

"These girls are so isolated, yet a sincere 'How are you today?' can encourage them to share, making me the first person to truly listen to them. Their stories are often heartbreaking, but I’m amazed that I can support these girls, even if it’s just in a small way. It’s incredible to realize that this connection is possible."

I can share hope with both

"I've always thought that spreading God's love to the unreached was just too big for me. But now, out of nowhere, there's this opportunity! I can be a stay-at-home mom and share Hope both with my family and with Laila!"

Prayer community

"What a blessing to be part of the prayer group! It's wonderful to glorify God together and ask for what we need. I'm continually amazed by the blessings He provides, often answering our prayers even before we pray together. These moments of collective prayer uplift me and inspire me to keep going. What a great God we have!"

This provides a valuable alternative

"I never thought I could help girls in Afghanistan with their education. While I wish they could attend traditional schools, the current situation makes that impossible. This online mentoring program provides a valuable alternative, allowing me to empower them and support their dreams despite the challenges they face."

Praying and praising God every day

"To start the day praying and praising God with people from at least four different countries with a common purpose to see God work setting up the project is beyond words."
