Where Are They Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is our third and final installment in the series, \u201cWhere Are They Now?\u201d We are so proud of all of them and their accomplishments\u2013both then and now. Erica (Radford) Campbell and Rachel Fenters were interns for Power Chicks \u201911. They were students from Emmanuel College at the time and part of their dance team. They helped wherever needed and performed a dance to the song Mirrors<\/em> which reflected both of their testimonies of overcoming low self-esteem and lack of identity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Erica graduated from Emmanuel in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in the School of Christian Ministries.\u00a0She and her husband Jon live on the campus of Emmanuel College where he serves as the Director for Residence Life.\u00a0They also serve with the Awakening as leaders for the Traditional Internship at Emmanuel College. Erica works at LifePoint Ministries as the Communications and Events Coordinator. She serves as the Girls\u2019 Ministries Director for LifePoint and on the IPHC General Women\u2019s Ministries Board.<\/p>\n

When we asked Erica about her favorite Power Chicks memory, she shared about the opportunity to pray with the girls at the altar. \u201cI prayed with one young girl, Brianna, who just graduated from Emmanuel College,\u201d she recalls. \u201cShe remembered me praying with her and told me several times how much that prayer meant to her. She and I became close over her four years at EC, and for her Senior project she planned a women\u2019s conference at EC. It was an honor that she asked me to mentor her through the planning process. God is just so amazing how He brings relationships full circle and uses you in small ways that may slip your mind over the years but that were very impactful to that person in that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rachel Fenters graduated Magna Cum Lauda from Emmanuel College in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and started medical school that fall in Spartanburg, SC. She graduated from Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017 as a physician. She is currently in residency at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, SC, where she will become board certified in Family Medicine in the spring of 2020. She loves using her medical skills on missions trips and in volunteer work. On one specific trip to Honduras, the team saw over 900 patients, and 10% of them came to Christ!<\/p>\n

Rachel\u2019s missions statement is powerful: \u201cI believe the call of God on my life is to look into the eyes of the hurting, to hold the hands of the crippled, to embrace those who suffer from illness, and to bring quality medical care to the whole person by being a family physician.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about her favorite memories from Power Chicks, Rachel loved having the opportunity to minister to the girls through dance and forming bonds with fellow interns, the all-girl band members from Southwestern. She had a highlight moment with IPHC missionary, Sharon Wooten. \u201cAs she was ministering to me,\u201d recalls Rachel, \u201cshe told me something that I will never forget: \u2018don\u2019t take things, personally. You are on God\u2019s mission. He has equipped you with a sword to spread His word to all the earth, but He will be your defense.\u2019 That has stuck with me through every season of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what God will do in the lives of our new group of interns, girls, and leaders as we come together again in Ridgecrest, North Carolina, July 26-29, 2019! Power Chicks really is a life-changing experience for everyone!<\/p>\n

Me gustar\u00eda volver al principio de Power Chicks. Ese evento de lanzamiento se llev\u00f3 a cabo en 2007, pero la historia comienza antes de esa fecha. Como madre de un ni\u00f1o y esposa de un l\u00edder de guardabosques comprometido, mi hija Jennifer y yo enviamos a los hombres a Camporama dos o tres veces. Puse mi tiempo y energ\u00eda en los retiros de los ministerios de ni\u00f1as para la Conferencia Heartland. Luego, en 2001, entr\u00e9 en la posici\u00f3n de directora nacional de Ministerios de Ni\u00f1as. Pens\u00e9 en crear un evento, pero necesitaba concentrarme en ajustarme a la nueva posici\u00f3n de tiempo completo que hab\u00eda asumido. <\/p>

Luego de unos cuatro a\u00f1os en mi puesto, supe que era hora de mudarme. Hab\u00eda una ni\u00f1a en mi iglesia local que hab\u00eda visto a su hermano ir a Camporama demasiadas veces. Ella segu\u00eda pregunt\u00e1ndome: "Se\u00f1orita Irvina, \u00bfcu\u00e1ndo va a hacer un evento para ni\u00f1as?" Una y otra vez, en el transcurso de aproximadamente un a\u00f1o o m\u00e1s, me critic\u00f3 con esa pregunta. La idea hab\u00eda echado ra\u00edces, y yo hab\u00eda reunido ideas, hab\u00eda elegido un nombre y presentado una propuesta a los l\u00edderes apropiados. \u00a1Conseguimos la aprobaci\u00f3n, y naci\u00f3 Power Chicks! <\/p>

<\/p>

Mi peque\u00f1a amiga de la iglesia, Kristyn Thomas, asisti\u00f3 al evento de lanzamiento en 2007 y luego nuevamente en 2011. Le ped\u00ed recientemente que compartiera una <\/p>

<\/p>

Un par de sus recuerdos favoritos de Power Chicks y reflexionar sobre c\u00f3mo los Ministerios Femeninos impactaron su vida. "Power Chicks es donde experiment\u00e9 hablar en lenguas por primera vez", recuerda Kristyn, "y ese recuerdo se me ha pegado todos los d\u00edas y cada vez que rezo. Recuerdo c\u00f3mo se sent\u00eda estar completamente en mi cuarto de oraci\u00f3n con Dios. El Ministerio de las Ni\u00f1as inculc\u00f3 valores y morales fundamentales que me acompa\u00f1aron a diario y me han ayudado a aumentar mi amor por las personas y el deseo de ayudar a los dem\u00e1s. "Una de las pasiones de Kristyn siempre ha estado bailando, por lo que no es sorprendente que ahora est\u00e9 empleada en Un estudio de danza que ense\u00f1a edades 2-8. Tambi\u00e9n se ha convertido en una apasionada defensora de la comunidad sorda y actualmente asiste a OSU-OKC para convertirse en int\u00e9rprete de lenguaje de se\u00f1as. Ella es activa en su iglesia local en Yukon, Oklahoma. Me encanta el desaf\u00edo de Kristyn a aquellas chicas que se preparan para asistir a Power Chicks '19: \u201cPower Chicks es un buen momento para explorar no solo la naturaleza que te rodea, sino tambi\u00e9n tu propia relaci\u00f3n con Dios mientras experimentas cosas nuevas. Intenta todo al menos una vez; Podr\u00edas encontrar algo nuevo que ames. S\u00e9 valiente, audaz, empod\u00e9rate \u201d. <\/p>

Cuando present\u00e9 mi propuesta para Power Chicks '07, mi mandato fue que el evento tuviera que ser equilibrado. La perspectiva de lo desconocido para un evento pionero era bastante desconcertante para una persona que siempre necesitaba conocer cada detalle. Eso me llev\u00f3 a buscar mano de obra barata (es decir, gratuita). \u00a1Mi hija, Jennifer Terry, y su mejor amiga, Leslie Harris, encajan perfectamente! As\u00ed que fueron "contratados" como los primeros internos. Los trabaj\u00e9 tan duro que me sorprende que no se rebelaran. Representaron bien a Emmanuel College y sirvieron a las ni\u00f1as y l\u00edderes del evento con gracia y respeto. Leslie Harris Tignor y su esposo Michael ahora sirven a la IPHC como misioneros en Ruanda. Es un honor poder plantar en su ministerio ahora apoy\u00e1ndolos financieramente. Siempre estoy encantado de ver a los j\u00f3venes responder al llamado de Dios en sus vidas. Nuestra hija, Jennifer, sirve a Dios en su iglesia local y trabaja con los grados 5 a 12 en Heritage Hall, una escuela privada en Oklahoma City. Ella se desempe\u00f1a como directora del centro de medios de la biblioteca y le encanta llevar a los ni\u00f1os a la literatura positiva y poderosa. Si bien no es una escuela cristiana, ella encuentra muchas oportunidades para ser una mentora y mostrar el amor de Dios. \u00a1Las tres de estas j\u00f3venes son Power Chicks en acci\u00f3n! <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
