• Life Essentials

  Prayer & Bible Reading

  • Read the Bible every day. Read one chapter in the morning & another chapter in the evening.
  • Pray throughout the day.
  • Keep a notebook & pen handy to write anything God reveals.
  • Spend a few minutes a day being quiet in the present of the Lord.
  • Create your own personal sanctuary by finding a quiet, secluded place to spend time with God.

  Beauty

  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Take make-up off before going to bed at night.
  • Exfoliate face at least twice a week.
  • Roll or wrap hair every night. Be sure to use a satin head scarf.
  • Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

  Relationships

  • Send your friend a real email (no forwards) just to say, "Hello. I am thinking about you."
  • Pick up the phone & call your friends.
  • Tell your parents you love them.
  • Help your brother or sister do something (homework, clean room, etc.)
  • Take time to listen.

  Studying

  • Study at the same time & place every day.
  • Study in silence. This means - no radio or TV!
  • Pray & ask God to help your understand that you are studying.
  • Read aloud. This helps you retain the material you read.
  • Write down any questions you may have & give them to your teacher for clarity.

  Fasting

  • Pray before you fast.
  • Determine what you are fasting for & gather Scriptures for meditation.
  • Determine the type of fast - absolute, partial, vegetarian, etc.
  • While fasting, read your Bible & pray.
  • Keep a pen & notepad with you to write down anything the Holy Spirit reveals to you.
  • When you know you are going to fast, be sure to get plenty of rest before fasting (this helps you to not become fatigued).

  Health & Fitness

  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Try to work out at least 3 times a week.
  • Eat a healthy breakfast, lunch & dinner with snacks in between. This helps boost your metabolism.
  • Take one complete vitamin daily.
  • Do not eat too late at night.
  • Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night. So, go to bed early!

• Welcome!

  Welcome to the all new  mPOWERd 4 LIFE Girls Club where we offer weekly intensives for girls ages 12 & up teaching social manners, etiquette, and abstinence with a focus on esteem building workshops and performing arts.

  Sessions focus on some of the following topics and interactions:

  
  

  • Self-esteem development 
  • How to make a good first impression
  • Proper make-up application
  • Modeling, style & poise
  • Table etiquette & social manners
  • College Prep
  • Goal setting & sound decision-making
  • Resume, job interview (some job placement included)
  • Healthy living & nutrition
  • Life skills – sewing, ironing, light cooking demonstrations & more

  We also incorporate our very own mPOWERd 4 LIFE Curriculum that includes some of the following lessons:

  
  

  • Wise Money Management
  • Raising Your Standards
  • Sexual Abstinence/Purity
  • Domestic Violence Prevention
  • Date Rape Prevention
  • Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention

  In addition to some of the aforementioned, we utilize the Women’s Sports Foundation’s GoGirlGo! curriculum for our Middle School participants.

  A college tour has been created to give our high school students an opportunity to explore colleges throughout the Southeast region of the US. This tour has proven to be very insightful and offer hope to inner-city youth who otherwise has very little pre-college experience and exposure.

  In addition to all of the above listed, outreach and community service opportunities are also encouraged in our program.

  Our weekly intensive is free to all participants. Fees and other costs are only associated with the college tour, other trips, retreats, purchases for performing arts garments, and future photography sessions. (Some partial and full scholarships are available for those who need assistance.) We do however, ask each participant for a $1-2 weekly donation to assist with the purchase of snacks – this is not required.
  

  
  mPOWERd 4 LIFE Girls Club is a program of God's Star International Ministries, Inc. founded by Deaquelynn Williams.
