We are pleased to announce the transition of the Aquila Villa Girl’s Ministry into its own 501(c)3, now known as Stories Made New. We continue to be ‘a discipleship ministry for young single women.’ This incorporation has been made possible through the invaluable gifts and moral support we have received.
As a board, we are excited for the new growth and opportunity this transition affords. ‘Stories Made New’ is set to be officially incorporated on the 1st of January 2024.
We all have a story, and we all long for the wounded and broken parts of our stories to be made new—from ashes to beauty.
We extend our gratitude for your continued support and look forward to seeing how God will use this new chapter for His Honor and Glory!
Leroy Smucker (Board Chairman)

Who we are

Stories Made New is structured to minister to young women from homes that believe and support the 1963 Mennonite Confession of Faith.
We desire to see them brought into spiritual freedom and life in Jesus Christ. Please pray for this ministry to our Anabaptist community.
 Stories Made New is operating under a Board of Directors, and also has an advisory committee.
