Mercy Gutirrez, ENDOW Board member and author of ENDOW's youth studies Girl Genius and True Beauty: Revealed, was the keynote speaker during a middle school modesty fashion show and mother/daughter event in Michigan. It was an amazing weekend with over 100 guests attending from the greater Detroit area. Mercy presented to the girls and mothers about friendship, faith, and fashion with a special focus on the importance of modesty and character formation.
ENDOW currently offers a middle school study, Girl Genius, for 6th to 8th graders as well as a high school study, True Beauty: Revealed, for 9th to 12th graders. Over the next year, ENDOW plans to expand its youth programs to include specific studies for each of these grades. Per the great testimonies from Mercy's presentation below, its obvious that our society is hungry for the message of ENDOW!
