Rite-of-Passage
for Teenage Girls
Almost
all religions, third world nations, and American charity
organizations have a way of bringing their young men and
women into adulthood. But what does the Christian community
at large have for our young people today?
Royalty is
such a rich word. However, our culture is not accustomed
to things that acquaint itself with royalty. It is evident
that we are still fascinated by the subject. Think of the
classic princess stories that every one has seen: Snow
White, Cinderella and in recent years the Princess Diaries
and Shrek. In our reality based society most
often it is only the beauty and homecoming queen that receives
a crown. Yet,
almost every girl today still dreams of the moment when they
could be publicly crowned a princess.
Our
Becoming a Modern Day Princess programs are
purposed to bring teenage girls into the reality
that they are worthy of being treated respectfully
because of
who they’ve been created to be; discover that
they have a family background that often embraces some
royalty
from their
tribe or nation; helps them to recognize the wealth they
have in valuable relationships that surround them;
and encourages
the power of beauty within. Our hope is that they will
walk away from this study and their Night of Celebration
validated
by their adult community as young women of integrity.
I
hope that you will take a moment to read the Testimonials
and
view the pictures in The Gallery. It will enable you
to see the joy and value of our faith-based and community
outreach programs.
Becoming
a Modern Day Princess has changed the lives of thousands
of girls in the last decade
as they walked from adolescence
into young womanhood through this rite-of-passage journey. This
passage culminates with a celebration attended by invited
family and friends. When each girl’s father, or another
man of integrity of her choice, publicly speaks words of
blessing and places a tiara upon her head it is a moment
of a life-time. She has become a true Modern Day Princess.
I
pray that this will capture your heart and you will soon
be on this rite-of-passage journey with your daughter
or girls!
Hugs,
