Description
Aim
Inspire aims to build self-worth in girls and women so that they develop a high level of self-esteem and self-respect, which in turn will improve their mental well-being. Based on the universal concepts of Psalm 139, Inspire helps girls and women understand their true worth and identity, giving them the confidence and assurance that their life has meaning and that they have a purpose in this world.
Who
Inspire is for any girl or woman, regardless of whether they have a Christian faith. It can be used to encourage and equip those already in the church, or as an evangelistic tool to reach out to those who are not.
Age range
The Girls and Women’s course is primarily targeted towards young women between the ages of 14-18. However, by adapting or changing certain activities, it can be used with girls as young as 11 and women of any age.
Time
Ideally, the course requires six half-day sessions to teach, spread out over six successive weeks. Alternatively, it can be split into twelve one-hour sessions to make it more suitable for groups that meet for a shorter time. The course can also be run for five or six consecutive days if used in a Christian camp setting or for overseas mission trips.
Number
Inspire can be used with large groups of up to around 30 people. However, it is also suitable for mentoring smaller groups of girls or women who are particularly struggling with issues related to low self-worth.
Resources
One set of books includes a two year license, one Leaders’ Guide, one Participant Handbook, an Activities Guide (available as an eBook), PowerPoint presentations, and additional digital downloads.
Additional Leaders’ Guides and Participant Handbooks are available to purchase separately depending on the quantity needed.
