FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
Greetings everyone,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish all our readers a blessed holiday season. I pray that God’s blessings will be all that you have hoped for you and your loved ones. When you open up your presents this Christmas, do not forget about the most wonderful present of all; the present of hope, grace, love, and abundant life that came through the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to encourage everyone who is reading this greeting to give praise to the King of kings and the Lord of lords for all that He has done for you this year.
As I reflect back on this year, I am in awe of what He has done. Where we started off as a business/ministry and where we are now, is a miracle. The magazine is taking on more subscribers, the organization is enrolling more members and the major fundraiser we had this past October was a huge success. All that we set out to do was a success. He exceeded our expectations for every event. Everyone who has come in contact with the organization has been blessed.
We are extremely excited about the new year and our new undertakings. We are going to start a program called the STEP UP program which is a geared towards making entrepreneurs out of disadvantaged youth in the tri-city and downriver area. The program is a 10 to 12-week program which pilot program will kick off in June 2018. We are excited that we are going to give back to our community by investing in our youth by teaching them how to start, run and sustain a business. We want these youths to live their dreams, and our goal is not to give them a hand out but a step up to realize their potential and fulfill their purposes.
We have many events planned for next year that we know will bring inspiration, and enlightenment to those who choose to participate. We are moving forward and transforming the lives of many women and youth. You are welcome to join us if you desire to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Our magazine, the quarterly events, our 2018 WOW Event and our many other outreach activities will certainly give anyone who decides to get involved more than enough to do. It is a new year with a new vision with much anticipation and expectation. We hope that you are looking forward to new things in your lives too as you Discover…...Your Own Uniqueness.
Sincerely,
Tunishai Ford
