At this time, as an active 501c3 status, our Church Youth Ministry vision is:

a) First,... BAPTIZE youth in large groups at closest facility to perform large, mass baptism: MAPFRE STADIUM, 2 blocks from South Linden neighborhood. NOTE: As of May 25, 2025 update here, still working on access to Mapfre Stadium for BAPTISMS.

Support Our Youth Ministry's Vision: From Baptisms to Animated Series!

Our Church Youth Ministry, an active 501(c)(3), has a bold vision to uplift our community's youth. We're seeking your support to fund two key initiatives:

* $10,000 for Entertainment Attorney Retainer Fee: This will enable us to pitch our exciting project, the "Street Just'Us" Cartoon Animated Series, to TV networks for a development deal.

* $2,400 for My POCKET SCHOOL App Software License: This will allow us to expand our educational advancement program for K-12 students.

Our Vision in Action:

* Large-Scale Baptisms: We envision baptizing youth in large groups at a prominent local venue, MAPFRE STADIUM. We're actively working on securing access to the stadium, which we also hope to use for AAU youth track and field competitions.

* My POCKET SCHOOL: Our program has already engaged 25 youth students, who have answered over 13,000 questions on pocketschool.us, earning rewards since January 2024. We need the $2,400 iXL Standardized K-12 Curriculum License to expand to 100 students across Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi, and California.

* "Street Just'Us" Cartoon Animated Series: We've invested over $15,000 to transform our "Street Just'Us" comic booklet into a vibrant urban cartoon. We've completed a short film promo and are ready to pitch to TV networks.

About "Street Just'Us":

"Street Just'Us" is an animated series set in an inner-city neighborhood, aiming to promote positive change through education and entertainment. It follows the lives of ten individuals striving for upward mobility, addressing real-world issues like bullying, crime, and abuse, with a clear lesson in each episode. The series emphasizes redemption and the power of love, with characters like the angelic GiGi and a superhero named Street.

Our scripts and company websites (icsa-oh.org, pocketschool.us, and streetjustuscartoon.com) are now copyrighted.

Additional Programs:

* Mentoring With Schools (MWS): We visited A. Phillip Randolph Elementary School in Atlanta, GA in January 2020, for 90 minute in-school session with 5 fifth-graders featuring Comedian / Ventriloquist Willie Brown & Woody.

* Expansion: We expanded our MWS activities into Georgia in November 2024 with Morehouse College to serve 260 third, fourth and fifth grader students by continuous 30 minute Value of Education (VOE) Seminars, and now have Certificate of Authority approved in California to hold VOE Seminars at High School upcoming 2025-26 School Year.
