When prom and poverty collide

Prom Promise 17.jpg

What happens to teen girls when prom time rolls around, but you live in the 6th poorest county in the entire country?

Your dream of a beautiful dress dies. Visions of updo's and polished nails fall by the wayside as you grab your state-funded free lunch. Sling-back heels. Sparkly purses. Prom-night gitters. All a mystery to you, something beyond your grasp.

Until the dream comes true.

I read the blog about The Prom Promise this morning and couldn't wait to pas it along. It's a great story of hope and joy and longing fulfilled and God moving in the hearts of people to do something simple and generous to someone else.

Use this story to challenge the girls in your ministry to find their own way of meeting the needs of those around them. If you have a story, please tell us about it!
