2 Corinthians 4:18 ESV

As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Congratulations NWA Beautiful Girls Retreat World Changer Award as you launch Counteract USA.

Introducing… .dejarnatt!

Name: Abigail DeJarnatt

What you do:
Full-time ministry at Counteract USA! God’s calling on my life is inevitable and undeniable, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to pursue the truth of His Word alongside incredible, BOLD people who are being raised up by Jesus to proclaim the truth of His gospel—no matter the cost!

Role: Founder & CEO, Counteract USA

Why Counteract USA:
Growing up, I was a dance and musical theatre girl, and I thought I was going to do professional choreography. Basically, I thought I had my life planned/figured out multiple times.

But when I started college in 2019, God broke my heart for the Christians of my generation whose faith seemed so easily shaken by the lies of culture. God moved in me and began to open my eyes to how His Word directly applies to culture and politics.

By the end of 2020, God was calling me to surrender all my plans to Him—and I never could have anticipated what He had in store. Flash forward to June 2021, God brought a few gals together in a coffee shop to discuss and apply how the Bible directly speaks to cultural and political issues, and He’s been moving in Counteract USA every day since. I cannot even begin to comprehend all He’s done and is going to do! To Him be the glory!

Fun fact:
I still choreograph for a local high school musical theatre department!

Favorite Verse:
This changes almost weekly, but right now it’s Revelation 12:10-11 and Revelation 21:5-7!

What a wonderful way to support young moms and their babies as our sister ministry, Embrace Grace, NWA Momentum in Rogers, serves those in need! Over the years, the donations from BGR have gone to support over 30 women and their babies, as well as donations shared with Loving Choices and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. We have 4 new mothers that have reached out to begin this journey in January. It takes a village!

Christmas Wish List for Embrace Grace, NWA Momentum Ministries. We begin classes January 22nd:

1. $5.00-$10.00 gas cards so Blooms can travel from Fayetteville or Bella Vista to the meeting area round trip without costs (some moms are just paying bills).

2. Lunch gift cards for the mom on special occasions.

3. Diapers size 1 (we have newborn).

4. Sponsor for educational materials (we have 4 Blooms signed up currently). $40.00 each including DVD and some room rental.

5. Spread the word please by sharing on social media so moms know we are here to support and serve them!

6. Photographers to take photos of maternity shoot, special events, and shower (we have requests).

7. Baby Care Campaign (drop off baby care items, baby toiletries, baby washcloths and towels, baby blankets, thermometer, baby wellness, and long sleeved onesies). These will be presented at baby shower.
