The Foundation: Esther’s Example

“For Such a Time as This” – Esther 4:14
The Bible is the missional foundation of She Saves A Nation. Eradicating all forms of poverty and struggle in the world will take an even more relentless effort due to the need to combat and eradicate spiritual poverty. The Bible tells the story of Esther, an orphan girl, among the least regarded, who was chosen to be Queen, and went on to save a nation through her bold, courageous calculated leadership.
Our girls will grow to understand that their past nor present circumstances have any bearing on the future that is possible for them. Like Esther, each young woman can powerfully shift a perceived outcome for her life, to a life that changes the world, by tapping into her inner grace, intelligence, beauty & strength.
