I am delighted to announce that the $30,000.00 Young Women of Grace® Fall 2016 Project proposal that Women of Grace® recently submitted to The Charitable Exchange Foundation has been approved. These funds will be used to train facilitators, to implement the program and to provide scholarships for participants who are in need of financial assistance.  The Charitable Exchange will match 100% of all donations up to $15,000.00, raised through their website campaign page by December 8, 2016. 

Your tax-deductible donation will have double the impact and will help to meet the total project goal of $30,000.
 
Living His Life Abundantly®/Women of Grace® continues to forge new territory to protect and preserve the virtue of our girls and help them to become all that God created them to be.  I hope we can count on you to assist in this life-changing, soul-shaping effort. Together we can help to safeguard the spiritual and moral future of girls in the vulnerable 12 to 17 age group.  

Already the program is making an impact. Vianney Marie Williams, a 16 year old participant in our pilot group in Trinidad shared:  
 
"I knew that being a female was special and that male and female were created differently, with unique purposes, but I never knew just how much the Church had to say about it. Saint John Paul the Second said that women have a feminine genius and that the gifts we receive through this feminine genius are needed today to save the world. This is a great responsibility that we should all take seriously... Woman naturally seeks to embrace that which is living, personal and whole. To cherish, guard, protect, nourish and advance growth is her natural, maternal yearning... This program has deepened my understanding of my role in the world as a female. I totally encourage all young women to take part in this program."
 
Isn't that amazing! Please help us to reach others just like Vianney, a beautiful daughter of God.  Imagine what can be accomplished by taking the Young Women of Grace® Study Program out far and wide.
 
I invite you to double the impact of your tax-deductible donation and give what you can for this special match opportunity.  Are you able to give $50, $75 or $100? Is God inviting you to contribute more? Perhaps you are able to  make a sacrificial gift of $500, $1,000 or more to help us meet The Charitable Exchange's match offer. Are you willing to help fund this life-changing program for young women?  Donations of any amount are always appreciated .  

I am grateful for your support of the life-changing Young Women of Grace® Program and the mission of Women of Grace® to "transform the world one woman at a time by affirming women in their dignity and vocation as daughters of God and in their gift of authentic femininity™ through ongoing spiritual formation."  You can count on our prayers for you and your family.

May the abundant life of Jesus Christ be yours and may God bless you!
