God desires to awaken and begin to deal with prophetically gifted children early on in life. These supernaturally endowed children are filled with gifts that must be properly recognized and nurtured. Many of these unique children have the tendency to be mislabeled, mishandled or completely overlooked. This is sad because the course of an individual's adult life is greatly influenced during their childhood. The foundation of the Word of God along with the combination of practicality and the understanding of child development can all play a role during a child's formative years.

It is important that there are faith-based books and materials that encourage spiritual growth and development not only in adults but in children. Children are one of our greatest blessings from God. We want to raise a generation of Kingdom Ambassadors that have an understanding of who they are in God along with their assignment in the earth. It is time for our children to be Spirit filled world changers that can fulfill THEIR prophetic destiny.

Over the past few years, several major media outlets have featured news stories about the crisis in Black marriage.  One of the most staggering statistics those stories revealed is that a whopping 42% of Black women have never been married.

So why are Black women having such a difficult time finding a mate and why does this problem seem to be as bad or worse among women in the church?

For unmarried Christian woman, much of the problem is what they have been taught in the church,” says Pastor Ira Acree the author of In Pursuit of Mr. Right.  Acree has counseled hundreds of couples and singles over the years.

Acree adds that much of the Bible has been mis-interpreted when it comes to whether women should even engage in the act of pursuing a man.  He also says women must uphold certain rules of engagement during their search for “Mr. Right.”
