Wednesdays were free and I liked having the day open but the Lord had
different plans. I was speaking with a friend about several young girls and as the
conversation progressed it was clear we should offer a Bible study for teenage girls.
We have three young ladies from the community that we have known for several
years, Luzmilda and her friend from school and Katherine all attending. It is a
small group but we prefer it that way so we could really get to know each of them.

Marguarite and Bresia are two girls from the orphanage who are attending.
They were both sexually abused when they were children. Their fathers are in prison
and their mothers are deceased. They are 17 years old and at the end of the year
they will have to leave the orphanage. As of now they have no place to live.

During our study some of the things these girls were taught have come out.
For example, they were taught that Jesus was not sinless, the Holy Spirit does not
live within us, and when Christ returns the Scriptures will disappear. We have
taken time to show them what scriptures say about these and other topics and they
are amazed and encouraged.

For the study we are using Denise Glenn’s, Restoration of the Heart. It is a
beautiful study about the worth of us as women and being the Bride of Christ. I
have been very touched as I see these girls realize that they are worthy. In this
culture women are not treated well by their spouses, fathers, fathers of their
children or even their own children. They are often sexually abused, beaten and
abandoned. My heart broke when we were discussing the difference between the
way the woman in the story we are reading and the women here in Huancayo are
treated. They are aware that women here are not valued or respected. But, they
believed it was okay and that they could do nothing about it, they in fact had no
value. Once they realized that this is not acceptable and they are worthy and
deserve to be treated with respect, their whole perspective changed. It was beautiful.
They have hope. I am looking forward to see these girls transform their thinking
from shame, worthlessness, and insecurity, to believing that they are “fearfully
and wonderfully made.” I know it is going to be a struggle, the enemy is here and
working hard, but we already have victory in Christ.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. Psalm 139:14
