by Kay Marshall Strom All over the world, women and girls face starvation, displacement, illiteracy, sexual exploitation and abuse. In fact, statistics show that the world's most oppressed are overwhelmingly female. Moved by their plight, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett took a trip across continents to partner with ministries working to help females and to interview girls in some of the most difficult places in the world. These pages hold those girls' stories: stories of deep pain and suffering, inspiring courage, and incredible hope. they are the stories - of girls who have discovered their value in God's eyes, in the in the midst of cultures that have rejected them. They are stories of rescue and redemption by God working through compassionate people - people like you. These pages might hold pieces of your story as well, as the authors invite you to pray and speak on behalf of the millions of women and girls who still need to know how mach they're worth. The authors provide specific, practical action steps and prayer that allow you to get involved as God leads.
