"Leighton Lunger, the creator of Pray Her Forward has a heart of gold! It has been amazing to see what God has done in her life, and how she has truly answered the call of ministry for young girls. The curriculum, More Precious Than Pearls, that she has prayerfully created for young girls I feel is so needed in our society today. With working with young middle school and high school girls through the ministry of Fellowship of Christian Athletes this is a perfect way to cover hard topics with the Truth and not with what the world tells us. And with the help of a mentor that can be someone that these girls can trust. I am so proud of the work, heart, prayer, and time that Leighton has put into this. I highly recommend that if you have a daughter to get her plugged into this. You will not regret it!"

“The Pray Her Forward curriculum is the ideal study for young women. I wish I had something like this during my high school days to help encourage me & keep me focused during those tough years. Being able to find a mentor to walk through these topics with you & to learn from is a luxury that I wish I had as a young woman! Pray Her Forward is a 10/10 and highly recommended—no matter where you are in life or with your walk with Christ. I think we could all benefit from at least one, if not all of the topics in this curriculum + mentorship!”

-Dallas Rutledge

"I was thrilled to discover Pray Her Forward—a ministry dedicated to young ladies ages 12 to 25. While there are many resources available for younger girls, there seems to be far less support for teenagers and young women navigating the transition into adulthood. What makes this ministry and More Precious Than Pearls so special is its focus on cross-generational biblical mentorship—an area that’s often overlooked but deeply needed. I’m incredibly grateful for the thoughtful resources, encouragement, and research that Leighton has poured into making this ministry possible. I truly believe it will not only bless and impact many young lives, but also empower and encourage the mentors who walk alongside them."

-April Sather, former host of 88.3 WAFJ

"Pray Her Forward is a unique and intentional curriculum for younger women. As a sophmore in college in pursuit of wanting to mentor, and being mentored, Pray Her Forward is a place for one to go to learn more about what that looks like. By asking an engaging set of questions, and including steps of practical application, Pray Her Forward does an incredible job of creating thought-provoking questions to help younger women grow in relationship with God. Whether or not one, or all of these topics are relevant to your current stage of life, there is always something for you to learn, and an abundance of opportunity for you to grow. I will definitely be using/ recommending Pray Her Forward for younger girls in my life!"

-Madison Bowling

“Pray Her Forward is what every young woman needs! This curriculum is perfect for having guidance in walking with the Lord and how to go through life lessons with the help of a mentor. I personally love being able to figure out where I stand in my walk with Christ and what my next step is with the help of this book and an amazing mentor. Leighton has worked so hard on this ministry and I believe it will do so much in young women's lives. I love and support this ministry with my whole heart!”

-Kyra Milton

"I HIGHLY recommend More Precious Than Pearls! Looking back at my own teenage and college years, I wish I would've had something like this. Now, I'm an open book, but back then, I didn't have many people to talk to. I had friends, but I didn't really have any kind of womanly mentorship. I desired it and looked for it and had great teachers, but they didn't give me the spiritual input that I needed during those years. I love that this curriculum addresses specific things that we face in our late teens and twenties. It also would have been a great resource in my church. In fact, I believe it should be available in all churches because it can change young lives for the better."

-Rachel Lunger

“What makes Pray Her Forward so special is the relatable aspect Leighton brings! When searching for anything faith based, it can easily feel overwhelming. Not here! Leighton has created “More Precious Than Pearls” based on her own life’s experiences. Some are experiences we’ve all had and she always has a great way of tying them into the word of God! I found Leighton’s writing style and ability to reach the reader where they are to be very unique and insightful. The study questions are very thought provoking and sure to create many “ah-ha!” moments as you learn more about yourself. Pray Her Forward is a must for any young woman looking to grow her walk with Christ!"

-Jenna Fail

"Pray Her Forward is a unique curriculum that helps young women cope with many of life’s confusing challenges. It’s practical, authentic material that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities we face while growing up. The anecdotes, thoughtful questions, and biblical foundation of the material create an easy guide and safe space for mentors and mentees to work together. I’m confident Pray Her Forward will positively impact countless young women as they use it to become more confident, introspective and faithful in their relationship with Jesus."

Leighton, the author of “More Precious Than Pearls," stepped out in faith to follow her heart to help young women and girls. Her journey started because of her own struggles during her youth and time in college. Though Christian, she struggled. These trials of life put a burden in her heart to help others, especially after she met her greatest mentor, Esther. While writing her curriculum, Leighton sought godly counsel from many people. She listened and prayed and followed wise counsel. She truly appreciated help. Leighton turned aside from the temptation to take some great job offers—which looked like the smart thing to do financially, especially when many trials hit her and her husband. She persevered and obeyed God!

-Renee Lunger

"The Pray Her Forward ministry is truly God sent. Based on God’s word that young women are more precious than pearls, young women can recapture their value when life’s experiences harm their self-worth. Pray Her Forward could be described as a parachute, a road map, even a spiritual gps for those who need a better path for their life’s journey. Without judgement, the questions of “How did I get here?” or “Which direction is best for me?”
become an essential part of the compass to change course for a more fulfilled life and a promising future. The success of Pray Her Forward’s foundation is based upon God’s words. Consider John 3, Ch 1, V 3 which says ‘Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.’

- Catherine Norvell

“‘More Precious Than Pearls’ is a beautiful resource to help young women navigate the challenges and difficulties of deciphering what is trustworthy and true while maturing. Leighton brings back the village we so desperately need by linking older, wiser women in mentoring relationships with these young women. Our current society is so devoid of rites of passage and elder guidance, it is wonderful to see this resource facilitating that.”
