Trish Jackson has a jar in her office filled with sticky notes. “I bet there are at least 200,” she said.

Each one represents a teen girl who wrote something on it anonymously during Complete, an annual Alabama WMU event for girls in grades 7-12.

“They were dialed in and connected and wanted to respond,” said Trish, who serves as Alabama WMU Next Gen consultant. “They wrote decisions they had made for Christ, things they wanted to give up and things they wanted to do with their lives.”

The goal of Complete is to give teen girls an opportunity to meet and hear from female role models who have found contentment in Christ and have given their lives to serving him in a variety of ways, from their workplaces to overseas missions.

Funds from the Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering support events like Complete, which helps the next generation catch a vision for God’s call on their lives.

“We try to articulate to them that if God gives you your identity, He may be calling you to something,” Trish said. “God has wired you for a purpose, and you can use that for giving Him glory.”
