Lenexa, Kan. – (June 13, 2012) – SUSIE Magazine, a lifestyle magazine and Online Sisterhood for Christian teen girls, announces its partnership with Girls of Grace for its upcoming 2012-2013 tour.

Girls of Grace is a one-day event where sixth through twelfth grade girls are encouraged and challenged in their faith through messages delivered through music, speakers and more. Throughout the year, Girls of Grace will travel to cities across the U.S. Each event will provide girls with the chance to talk about life issues they may be facing and teach them how to live past the lies of pop culture by discovering who they are in Christ.

"We're excited for the opportunity to partner with Girls of Grace again this year, because we strongly believe in the message they're promoting. It goes hand-in-hand with what we're doing through SUSIE Magazine — addressing relevant issues teen girls are facing and encouraging them with hope found in Christ,” said Becca Blackburn, SUSIE Magazine managing editor. “We can say with confidence that Girls of Grace is an event that SUSIE readers would enjoy and grow from attending."

Leigh Holt, vice president of strategic partnerships, Word Entertainment, commented, “SUSIE Magazine continues to be a relevant source of information for teen girls discovering who they are within Christ, which lines up with the mission of Girls of Grace.”

This year, Point of Grace will host the event, Meredith Andrews will serve as worship leader and Chris Wheeler will speak on relationships. More artists will speak out about various issues throughout the day, including guys, social media and more.

The first event will be held in Phoenix, Ariz., on July 28, at Bethany Bible Church.
