Great October Gal Pals Gathering

Last night was our October Gal Pals for Christ gathering, and we had a blessed turn out of women. A great combination of those who have attended before, as well as new comers. We decided to try something new and have a "pot luck" type meal that went over wonderfully, with a great combination of foods. perfect for a meal and dessert.
Jen opened the evening with an introduction to the purpose and vision of the ministry, making a point to communicate that our goal is to always have Christ in the drivers seat. Leslee, then had some creative ice breaker ideas, as well as door prizes. Jen then prayed for the meal and we moved into the eating part of the gathering - YUM!
Vincy, spoke to the ladies and gave a message on "Letting Go In Order To Hold On" and shared much of her life testimony.
Leslee, had a few more pize give aways, and then it was time to get creative. Leslee, showed and encouraged the ladies to make a card and envelope to send or give to someone as an encouragement. Jen closed with a challenge to the ladies and a prayer. The evening was such a blessing to us, and even more evident that God knows what He is doing and is completely in charge of where this ministry is headed. It is so exciting to see God work in His way and in His time.
We believe the next meeting with probably be after the holidays in January. We will post again when we have a date and a place for the gathering nailed down. Please continue to pray for Gods direction in this ministry. Blessings to you.

Huge Blessing

Well tonight didnt go the way that we had planned with our Gal Pals for Christ event, but it is a good thing that God was in charge, because it went the exact way that He had planned. Thank You God for an awesome time of fellowship, laughter, sharing, encouraging and bonding time with some wonderful women of Christ. I cannot wait to see what the next event holds. :) The next event will be October 9th, I hope you all can make it. Details will come closer to the event. YEE HAA - Thank You Lord!!

Tonight is the night...

well tonight is the night. It will be our very first Gal Pals for Christ organized event. None of us knows what to expect exactly. You can prepare and prepare and prepare but things dont always go as you plan. No worries though, God knows exactly who He wants there and what He wants accomplished. We have prayed for each one of these women coming and asking the Lord to open their hearts to whatever He wants shared with them. We have prayed that they will be blessed coming and going and that we would all have a joyous time together and that new friendships will be formed. WOOO HOOOO! ;)

Getting geared up and getting the ball rolling...

We have our first GPFC event set for South Bend at the SBC Cafe for August 21st at 7pm...which is just around the corner. We are already 1/2 full on that one.
We finally have a place and a date for the second GPFC event which will be in Elkhart/ Granger area on Friday October 9th. No details set for that event yet but we will soon get started on specifics after the first one is over I am certian.
We are also in the process of having a t-shirt design created for those who are interested. That is all still in the works.
I love watching God work in all of this. With Gods working however, also comes the attacks of Satan and it is happening as well.....so we conitnue to pray for covering of protection over us as we move forward. Praying about finances as well and we know that God will provide as we prepare to do His work in His time....its sooooo cool!!
Blessings to all!!

Kick of Event for Gal Pals for Christ

Well our first event is scheduled for August 21st at South Bend Chocolate Cafe's production room at 7pm. We are praying about the women who will show up for this event. There are only 40 seats avaliable, so we pray that the women who should, need and really want to be at this event are there.
We met together last night to nail down some details and to actually look at some dates for the second event as well as some details.
It is so exciting to watch God work as we go step by step by faith, just exactly where He is directing us.

How It All Began

Our friendship began a few years back, first, with Jen and Leslee attending the same college and becoming friends. Then over several months of communication through email and phone calls, Jen meeting Vincy who also happens to be a local Christian radio station DJ. After Jen and Vincy bonded, Jen then introduced Leslee to Vincy. From that point on the three have been inseperable.
From the start of our friendships together, we have always felt as though the three of us would be "doing something for the Lord together" but we never knew exactly what that was. As time has gone by, the Lord has shown each of us individually, that He would like for us to use our own personal testimonies, as well as our friendship testimony to speak to, and reach other women for Christ.
Since receiving this confirmation from the Lord, we have moved forward in faith, step by step, to carry out whatever plan the Lord has for our lives in this ministry. The awesome thing about this is that even though none of us knows exactly where this ministry is headed, the Lord knows exactly where He is going to take us on this journey. Our constant prayer for this ministry is that we never move ahead of the Lord, and that we stay completely open to His direction as we listen for His voice in showing us the next step.

We presently have a group site on facebook that already has over 200 women as members, and who are followers of the page. That in itself is a miracle of God. If you would like to join that facebook site, just go to the seach bar on your facebook page and type in GAL PALS FOR CHRIST, and then click "join this group".

On July 24th 2009, Leslee and Jen joined Vincy on the WFRN Morning Show to discuss friendships as well as give an introduction to our Gal Pals For Christ vision.

We have already booked a site for our very first Gal Pals For Christ event which will be held on August 21st. We are praying that the Lord will have those women come who really need to hear the message we have that particular evening, as well as those who could connect with others that will show up that evening. Our space is limited to 40 people, so we know that God knows exactly who needs to be there. We are also praying about future sites.

Tomorrow night we will get together to discuss details of that event as well as looking into promotional items for future meetings or conferences. We are praying for financial needs for the ministry and know that because this is God's "baby" that He will be faithful in that realm of need too.
It is sooooo exciting to watch God work and believe it - He is movin Big Time!!!

Thank You Lord for your provision, wisdom and clarity as we hear Your voice moving us in Your direction for this ministry step by step day by day. In Jesus Name!!!
