1	Rave Ministries Teen Girls Ministry based in Nashville, TN RAVE Ministries (formally Real Girls) is a community for teenage girls that provides a place for them to be REAL. Through email and social networking as well as merchandise and events, RAVE is inviting girls everywhere to join in creating a generation of girls who are ready to be authentic. Through exciting non-denominational presentations RAVE challenges girls to be confident in who God made them to be. With their creative use of fashion dolls, funny skits, interactive and practical lessons, they have teen girls wanting RAVE teachings to be a part of their daily lives. If teenagers can see how to live in a way that is fun while facing everyday life issues then they will reap the benefits of a fulfilling life in Christ. The goal of the RAVE curriculum is that teenage ladies: Realize that a life in Christ is anything but dull. Gain confidence in making Godly choices in their life instead of conforming to the world. Develop a personal relationship with Christ through a positive reinforcement of His Word. Decide that living the same way in every aspect of their life is best....staying TRUE and REAL.	438
2	Mi Esperanza Poverty throughout the world has a woman’s face. Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty, 70 percent are women. Mi Esperanza means “My Hope” and began in 2002 with a vision to provide assistance for women in the villages surrounding Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Providing micro-business loans and skills training to women living in extreme poverty does this. Many of the women are single mothers who are supporting their families without any type of assistance or opportunity to change their life circumstances. Their lives are about survival and trying to meet the most basic of needs of life; food, clean water, education, healthcare and shelter. Through Mi Esperanza, women are finding a new sense of hope, self-empowerment and stability. Mi Esperanza brings HOPE to women, young and old, by giving them educational and financial tools that enable them to change their lives and the future of their children.	983
