Girls Challenged To Be Like Queen Esther
November 2006
Participants in the KNCSB S.H.IN.E. conference for teen girls were challenged to become like Queen Esther in the Bible.
S.H.IN.E. stands for “Seek Him In Everything.” The event was held Nov. 10-11 at Webster Conference Center, Salina, Kan. This year’s theme was “RU Ready? (Are You Ready?)”
“If we want to be an Esther, we have to be obedient 24/7 in every area of our lives,” said Cheryl Cooke, the featured speaker. She leads the youth program at First Southern Baptist Church, Hutchinson, Kan. Cooke asked the girls, “Are you ready to:
- “Put more emphasis on the heart and less on the externals and the temporary?
- Ask God to cultivate character in you?
- “Be obedient in all the small stuff?”
The girls also were challenged to become involved in missions. The retreat’s featured missionary was a veteran Kansas-Nebraska worker who is now serving in China.
She told of visiting the home of Lottie Moon, renowned Southern Baptist missionary for whom the annual Christmas offering is named. The missionary urged the girls to consider short-term missions service.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”
