'When I first had the meeting with two amazing women ​wanting to start a girls group from 8+ years...my first ​thought was...oh how I wish I had this group when that ​age. I sadly was sexually abused at a young age, so my ​self-worth and identity needed alot of rebuilding. Grow ​Girls helps bring in the tools for this, both practically and ​spiritually.'

'The messages presented at Grow Girls dovetail so beautifully with the ​truths that I am trying to instil in my daughters' hearts. It is such a help ​and an encouragement to have other women of valour sowing into my ​daughters' lives with such love, strength and positivity; reinforcing the ​messages they hear at home. My daughters also remember the simply-​presented messages and are able to apply them to their lives at later points.'

'I am so excited by the ministry of Grow Girls. The ​teaching, interaction, fun and commitment given to ​these young girls is impressive. In a time of growth ​where girls need mentoring and principles to guide ​them through these formative years, Grow girls ​provides a safe place for learning and building ​confidence in navigating life. As a father of two girls, ​I know the importance of this ministry. As a pastor I ​fully support this pathway of helping girls to build ​self awareness and tackle the difficult issues of ​relationships and values while developing good self- ​esteem. There is a fantastic team leading this.'

FRAMEWORK THEME: ​FRIENDSHIPS part one

Friendships and relationship building play a huge part in the ​lives of our young women. It is incredibly special to be ​around someone or others who 'get you' and you can relax ​and just be yourself around. Relationships can also be tricky ​and get messy fast, especially around this age where our ​young women are still learning who they are and how ​exactly do they fit in to the world around them? We have ​created a two part series for this topic covering the ups and ​downs of friendships (and more to be added) as we feel this ​is such an important theme!

FRAMEWORK THEME:

BULLYING

This theme deals with bullying and ​particularly with what is commonly ​known as 'mean girl' behaviour (though ​this can be applied to any gender). We ​think it's important for our young ​women to become more aware & ​knowledgeable about the signs of ​bullying so they can make good & wise ​decisions for both themselves and ​others around them.

CHARACTER VALUES

In a world where everything can feel ​pearshaped, morals are declining and ​things are not quite what they seem, this ​theme is all about teaching our young ​women about the importance of Integrity ​and having an upright character.

Character values such as honesty, kindness ​& reaching out to help & encourage others ​are all ways our young women can grow ​in & even thrive, shining out like stars.

GROWING STRONG ​LEADERS

A leader is someone who can ​passionately inspire & motivate others. ​They set an example for others to follow ​and want the best for those around ​them. Our young women can be ​powerful influencers in today's world and ​are never too young to set a Godly ​example in all they do. This theme is all ​about encouraging our girls to be the ​best they can be, strengthening them, ​lifting them up and cheering them on! xx

Resilience

Where there are so many things that can trip ​us up, bring us down and shake up our world, ​RESILIENCE is a powerful character trait that ​demands our full attention! How can we ​prepare our young women for the ups and ​downs of what can often be a roller coaster ​life? This theme is all about equipping & ​preparing our girls for a life full of destined ​purpose, hope & beauty, despite the many ​obstacles & challenges that can come our

way!

God gave us emotions and they play an important part in our lives. ​They help us to communicate with & understand others and are ​powerful in infuencing our own actions. We wouldn't be human ​without them! However, because they are so powerful, we need to be ​careful our emotions don't start to overrule & control us instead of ​us controlling them! This theme gives us insight into many of the ​emotions we can feel and how we can manage them with God's help.

FRAMEWORK THEME:

All things Screens

With our young women growing up amongst a world full of screens ​and being known as the internet generation, we feel this is an ​important theme to cover and talk about with wisdom. This lesson is ​all about learning how to be more aware of what we are letting into ​our minds & hearts through what we read & watch based on God's ​standard. We love this verse in Philippians 4:8!

Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, ​admirable - if anything is excellent or ​praiseworthy think on such things.
