We are pleased to introduce Diana Kjerstad as the new district Girls' Ministries coordinator. Please take a moment to get to know the heart and vision of this enthusiastic leader.She writes: "I was born in southern Indiana but grew up in Sisseton, SD as a 'home missions' pastor's kid. South Dakota has been my home since I was in the 5th grade. Youth conventions and summer camps where a big part of my life. I met my husband at summer camp and we got married in 1997. We youth pastored in North Dakota and Minnesota and then moved to Mitchell, SD and took the Sr. Pastor position and have been there for the past 6 years.
I started Girl's Ministries the first year we were here with Rainbows and every year we added the next class. This past year we just started the Stars program and we now have all four Girl's Ministries programs going. I love getting a chance to see the girls grow mentally and spiritually. This is a wonderful mentorship and discipleship program that all girls should have an opportunity to experience.
On the district level, I want to help develop the Girl's Ministries program in churches; coming up with innovative ideas to make it work best for your situation is something I look forward to doing. I am excited to see what God is going to do in our SD Girl's Ministries!"
