These stories highlight the Ministry's impact and the resilience of the girls they serve.

    May-Lee calls for prayer and support for Lebanon's future mothers, urging listeners to pray for the young girls labeled as vulnerable, that they may recognize their worth and potential as change agents in their communities.
