"FRIENDSHIP MATTERS

"But friendship is not every girl’s story.

"Our girls live in a culture that is unprecedented in both its digital connection and its social isolation. Researchers name the growing problem “The Loneliness Epidemic” and that was before a global pandemic kept them at a distance from one another.

"We see girls desperate search to find a place to belong and loved, whether it’s at school, on the sports field, or through their innumerable Snapchat streaks. We dry their tears and ache over the loneliness and isolation that will always be a part of their lives until they hear about a Friend who changes everything.

"His name is Jesus. Our deepest need is for Him to be our Savior, Lord, and Friend."
