Coming May 12: “God’s Equation for Joy”

Posted by Susan Campbell, CTR Sisterhood

We have had four great CTR Sisterhood events and are praying that our fifth and final event before summer break is one that will encourage women to reach farther in their families and communities.  Our guest speaker fits that bill perfectly!

Margo Feiseler came to mind for two reasons:  1. She came highly recommended by many people.  2. She is very involved in her community and works diligently on behalf of the poor.

Then I spoke with her, and that sealed it.

Margo is very dynamic.  She is deeply passionate about life and especially about women and their walk with Christ.  She loves to laugh and bring the JOY of Christ into daily conversations.  It just flows out of her!

I sense that our entire Sisterhood  will immediately connect with Margo and her vast life experiences. Plus, she loves our Sisterhood theme and our outreach this ministry has to offer the women of Christ The Rock.

On May 12 she’ll share how she came to know the Lord in her early 30’s and has had to learn to be content in Jesus…and she’ll motivate us to do the same.   There is Joy in this Journey of womenhood and sometimes we need the encouragement and motivation to keep walking with faith.  Margo will give us some tools to journey on!

I hope you’ll come. And I think you’ll leave the event feeling blessed and feeling prepared to bless others. Register online at christtherock.org/sisterhood.

This ONE’s for the girls–a ministry taking flight

Posted by Nancy Leschke

We have a little bit of a reputation with the women who work in the strip clubs. Most refer to us as “the church ladies.” But as they are getting to know us, we are building relationships that are allowing God to move in amazing ways.

Here are three brief stories about how us church ladies are reaching to those women who hunger for Him through a ministry called This ONE’s for the girls:

A young woman approached us recently at one of the clubs where she’d been working. She said that she started attending a church in Green Bay two months ago but felt like a hypocrite and wondered what the other people would think if they knew where she worked.

She is loved!

Each February for the past four years, the this One’s for the girls team has brought a reminder of God’s love to the women who work in local exotic dance clubs.

In honor of Valentine’s Day this year, we will be visiting clubs on February 10, 11, and 12. Each woman will receive a small gift of chocolate, with a gift tag telling her she is loved, and that she is precious to God.

We hope to visit six clubs, including a new club in Green Bay that we visited for the first time at Christmas. Thank you for praying for the Christmas gift nights! We had many meaningful conversations with the young women we met. The girls were surprised and delighted to be remembered with a gift, and we talked to many who were new and had never before received a gift from the team.

Your support is so important to us, and we would greatly appreciate your prayers for our Valentine nights. Thank you for caring about these dear daughters of God, and for being an essential part of sharing Christ’s love with them!

Christmas Gifts for the Girls

As all of us go about our Christmas preparations, the team members of this One’s for the girls have been busy planning our Christmas gift nights.  We visited one Fox Valley club already, with plans to visit three more in the Valley and one in Green Bay.

Would you please pray for us on December 10, 17 and 18 as we visit with young women who work as exotic dancers?  We deeply desire that each woman would feel God’s love for her, and that the Gospel message attached to each gift would sink deeply into each heart.

Team members assemble gifts to give at four Fox Valley clubs.

At many churches, Wednesday night means youth group and adult classes.  Those things happen at Christ The Rock too, but Wednesday night also means it’s time to reach out to a group of women who are often misunderstood, despised, or simply forgotten — women who work as exotic dancers.

For the past three years, I’ve been part of a ministry called this One’s for the girls.  We visit local exotic dance clubs to meet and connect with the women who work there.
