Faith Driven, Grace Living Ministries
Faith: The belief in, or acceptance of something as true, apart from empirical or intellectual proof: A means of perceived information by placing trust in the authority and veracity of another. Faith is the only system of perception that is non-meritorious, and compatible with God’s Grace. Anyone-From, the very young to the very old, with intelligence, low to high; can express faith by trusting and believing. In faith, all of the merit lies in the object. When the object of faith is Jesus Christ as Savior, Faith results in eternal salvation. (John 20:31)
When Faith of the believer is directed towards the promises of God, and biblical truth, the result is happiness, tranquility, and blessings of spiritual growth. Apart from Faith, no one can come to a saving knowledge of Christ or comprehend spiritual wisdom that is beyond human perspicacity.
And, Grace: All that God is Free to do for mankind, on the basis of the saving work of Christ on the cross. The plan and policy of God for bestowing His unmerited love and Favor on sinful humanity.
Therefore! We are, Driven by Faith, and Living by Grace. Join us in our mission to transform lives through Faith, compassion, community support, and God’s Grace. Discover how we make a difference, Everyday!

G.I.M. Institute of Youth Communications
The ability to communicate effectively is a key skill; the better we are at it, the better our quality of life will be.
We began communicating the moment we are born; letting our mother know we have arrived with our first cry. As a child develops, it is important that we nurture their communication skills, so they are capable of expressing themselves clearly, and confidently, in all aspects and areas of their life. If we consider the stages of a child’s development: they communicate first with their parents, then with siblings and friends, and then with other adults such as their school teachers.
A child will begin to communicate by watching and listening to their parents, and then mimicking their words and actions; the more you communicate with your child, the earlier and quicker they will develop these skills.
Reading is a great activity to help improve your child’s communication proficiency. It develops their language acquisition and introduces them to a range of vocabulary, helping them to understand with ease and clarity. As they get older, reading together provides an excellent opportunity for discussion, creating an environment where a child can comfortably and confidently get use to articulating their ideas.
The Grace In Motion Youth Communications Ministry’s Survival Skills component will facilitate our children’s interaction and play with siblings and friends; our youth will develop social skills and interpersonal skills, alongside their communication skills. These skills will make them feel at greater comfort in social situations, where they will find it easier to strike-up conversations with peers and make new friends. Through these relationships, they will also hone their listening skills as well as their ability to empathize and interpreted non-verbal communication cues.
As our youth advance in school, presentations, class discussions, dramatizations, and oral exams will all become second nature to them. All of which will call directly upon their verbal communication skills. Communication skills can be developed and mastered with practice. It is our objective to equip our youth straight away with the skills to build a successful future. The Gavel and Toastmasters Program is designed to meet such needs.
Our children are our future! “It takes a village to raise a child”. We will be seeking your support.
Respectfully,
Yours in Christ
Rev. Charles Womack
Goals of The Youth Institute
The goals of the institute of Youth Communications are to Teach, Prepare, (through our Gammit Club) , and Air our youth on television through the
Grace In Motion (G.I.M.) Empowerment Program. The Empowerment that our youth will share with the community will also allow the community to observe, promote and encourage our children’s communication skills.
The primary areas of concentration, are as follows:
Competitive Forensics: The discipline of Public Speaking and Debate.
Television Productions: The art of producing a television show, conceiving, creating, and producing an entertaining and informative message.
Talk Show Host: The Art of verbal and interpersonal communication which facilitates an atmosphere conducive to total relax expressions; application of one’s interviewing skills to entertain and extract positive response from the guest and audience.
Basic Survival Skills: The art of the application of interpersonal skills, which will open the doors of success, i.e. Greeting Skills, nonverbal communication skills, Being Considerate of others, How to be Honest, Table Etiquette, just to name a few.
Vocabulary Enrichment: Our focus is on building the vocabulary bank of our youth, which gives them a variety of options when expressing their views. We endeavor to empower them as effective and positive communicators. It is our belief that every new word learned; a new relationship is built.
Phonetics: The art of presenting the sounds of speech with a set of distinct symbols, each denoting a single sound. This will allow our youth to master the skill of pronunciation, as each magical word is spoken.
Non-Verbal Communication: Mastering the greatest statement never spoken, only interpreted, with focus on the power of eye contact, body posture, facial expressions, and gestures. This drives home a message which cannot be misinterpreted. We believe that Infamous statement of truth, “Action Speak Louder Than Words”.
You Have to Dream the Dream
By James Dillet Freeman
You have to make a wish
Before it can come true;
You have to dream the dream before
A dream can work for you.
If you would gain an end
You have to make a start;
To have the work in hand, you have
To have it first in heart.
You have to sow a sed
Before you reap a crop;
You have to make a climb
If you would reach the top.
There is an ancient law
As simple as can be-
You have to know the truth before
The truth can make you free.
