Girls in Action (GA) is a missions discipleship organization for girls. Every girl in grades 1–6 can be a GA. Girls learn about, pray for, give to, and do missions work. They also make new friends and have lots of fun!
Contact Stacy Nall at Kentucky WMU for more information about missions for girls, or to learn more about starting Girls in Action in your church. Kentucky Girls in Action are on Facebook. |

"We currently have 15 girls in GA. For many of them their moms were not raised in a Southern Baptist church so they had no background in missions education. So while my GAs are learning about missions, their moms are as well. Our pastor's wife in particular has begun reading mission books and she was excited to read Rosalie Hunt's book on the 125 year history of WMU. I have given her a subscription to Missions Mosaic. One other mom who was raised as Independent Baptist rode with me to GA JAM last year. We talked about missions the entire time down and back and she was like a sponge soaking up info. My moms love going to GA JAM and I usually have several to go. Right now the moms are on my radar screen as well as my girls."
