Elisa's Gold Award project is called An Esther Generation. It is a ministry aimed at helping teen girls and young adult women to draw closer to God and better understand their identity and purpose in life. She provides digital resources, writing and speaking opportunities to assist people on their spiritual journeys. Elisa shares how her own faith journey was ignited by her family, who adopted daily Bible reading times, and her church which provided many resources for her. Additionally, during Covid she experienced God in a powerful and tangible way that helped to strengthen her faith.

More from Elisa:

My name is Elisa John, and I am a Girl Scout Ambassador with Troop 312 in Texas. I started Girl Scouts when I was in 3rd grade and have gone on to earn my Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards. In my free time, I enjoy reading, photography, playing soccer, and trying new foods. I'm an introvert, and although I initially viewed this as a weakness, I've realized what a powerful gift this is. From a young age, I was very passionate about using my words to create change. My faith is very important to me, and as I grew older, I continued deepening my relationship with Jesus. The more I learned about Him, the more I felt called to utilize my love of writing and speaking to share the love of God with others. This ignited my spark for ministry and enabled me to create An Esther Generation ministry through my Gold Award project. My future plans are to continue growing this ministry, developing more digital resources, and organizing an annual in-person Rise Up Conference for teen girls and young adult women. My dream is to also write my own book one day.

Key points from the episode:

Grow in faith and purpose.

Growth in faith and purpose is a journey that many of us have taken at some point in our lives. For some, this journey begins in childhood, when we are taught about the power of faith and the importance of having a purpose. For others, it begins later in life, when we are presented with the opportunity to explore our faith and discover our purpose.

Elisa, a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient, is a prime example of someone who has taken this journey of faith and purpose. Through her Gold Award project, Elisa sought to help teen girls and young adult women draw closer to their relationship with God and learn more about their eternal identity and purpose.

Elisa believes that the best way to learn more about who you are is to learn more about who Jesus is, and this is the focus of her project. Through Anesthesia Generation, Elisa has created an Instagram account to post encouraging content and a website with blog articles and fre
