The Women’s Ministries department of the Peninsular Malaysia Mission (PEM) concluded the Young Girls’ Ministry Kick-Start Program with its final session in July.

The three-part series, based on the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s My Sister, My Friend curriculum, brought together 24 girls and 10 Women's Ministry leaders and parents from across the Klang Valley for interactive discussions on identity in Christ, emotional growth, and self-esteem.

Participants were also encouraged to practice daily affirmations rooted in biblical truth.

Earlier sessions were held in March at Penang Adventist Church and in June at Johor Bahru English Church, with a total of 55 young girls participating.

The initiative was led by Puan Faridah Lausin, Director of Women’s Ministries at the Malaysia Union Mission, and Christine Tan, the PEM Women’s Ministries director, with support from local leaders and parents.

Women's Ministries leaders note that the Young Girls’ Ministry Kick-Start Program is part of that broader mission to equip young women to serve their churches and engage in outreach..

In June, a parallel initiative titled Daughters of Grace: A Mother-Daughter Journey in Christ was organized by the Adventist Church in Sabah.

Under the theme "Rooted in Faith, Growing in Love," the program brought together 155 participants for activities and messages.

Highlights included scripture reflections, art therapy, and interactive bonding activities designed to strengthen faith and family ties.
