Our Holistic Ministries

We operate community-based, citywide, national, and international ministries, while serving as a model of holistic ministry for urban leaders in the US and around the world.

Through our ministries, we aim to:

Revitalize the community by guiding children, youth, and adults to a life-long calling of personal and community growth

Through their active participation, children, youth, and adults become partners in shifting the community's paradigm to personal and social responsibility.  In the process, they grow to be:

Effective leaders with strong moral character Character Development
Peace makers Violence Prevention
Literate (effective communicators)

Literacy Development

Successful in school and/or their job Academic/Job Achievement
Physically fit, arts-oriented, and nutritionally responsible

As Holistic Servant Leaders, our participating chilren, youth, and adults become strong, independent, articulate leadership who legitimately represent and are accountable to their families and communitiesAs a result, they are able to:

  • Identify and use their gifts and knowledge toward their personal development plans;
  • Employ their gifts and knowledge for the common good; and
  • Teach their knowledge and skills to others in a systematic way.

In measuring the success of our children, youth, and adults, we evalute their initial, intermediate, and long-term outcomes and impact:

Initial Outcomes: Intermediate Outcomes: Long-term Impact:  

70-80% of our participants will increase their participation in group activities, increase their engagement in pro-social activities, increase their weekly reading, increase their engagement in academic activities, increase their participation in recreational and arts activities, improve their family relation, increase their community involvement, and increase motivation to seek and give peer support & guidance.

50-60% will increase their engagement in group-sponsored activities, reduce their incidence of violent behavior, improved their performance in standardized reading tests, improve their school performance, have high involvement in organized physical fitness and arts, develop family plans, have high involvement in community service & volunteering, and have strong mentor-mentee relationships.

20-30% will be Holistic Servant Leaders who legitimately represent and are accountable to their families and communities, as evidenced by being effective leaders with strong character, peace makers, literate (effective communicators), successful in school and/and their job, physically fit and arts-oriented, engaged in their family life, active in community affairs, and mentors.
