About Us
We are a community-based, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization offering diverse programs to help people grow where nurturing can be the common practice, not the exception. Our programs are structured group and individual activities and will involve the entire family. These sessions are an educational experience assisting in character building, life skills, academics, and performing arts. Our goal is to convey and compel love, care, compassion, using tools which administer strength, teamwork, discipline, guidance, and respect for a, "thriving--not just surviving", quality of life. Despite the negativity reported in the world, it is our belief that people share the same goal: to love, to be loved, and to be validated. Given a true choice, people would much rather get along than fight; be kind rather than be angry; and belong rather than be rejected and detached.
Our programs are structured to build self-esteem and to help individuals identify their gifting(s). We will assist with laying the necessary ground work and will be a solid launching pad to get individuals and families on their way toward a prosperous future.

Bio
When God created us, He created us for His own glory and that we might represent him in the Spirit of excellence. Our attitude exudes walking in the Spirit and maintaining an attitude of worship (Gal. 5:22) We were made to give God thanks for His greatness and praise for His goodness. Him only. Even while we are in this earthly vessel (our body), we are still made to glorify God: to love Him and to love others, just as He would; to worship at His feet and obey Him (John 4:23-24).
Therefore, everything has already been decided and it was known long ago what each person's destiny would be in life. (Eccl. 6:10)
Michael and Madie, referred to as MNM, have yielded to the call of God as worshipers committed to a lifestyle of worship. Included in a lifestyle of worship are, but not limited to, life character qualities such as: accountability, attentiveness, availablility, compassion, discernment, endurance, faith, faithfulness, forgiveness, generosity, gratitude, integrity, and respect.
The sweet about this couple is the desire placed in their hearts to help restore social and economic values to our communities. Michael has about 15 years street evangelism experience in Elizabeth, Newark, Paterson, Passaic, and other northern NJ cities. Michael's purpose was to pray and speak healing of the mind, body, and soul to men and women in danger or potential danger on the street. Michael, who has witness and testimony of restoration and God's unfailing love, is even more passionate about his work in the mission field.
Madie demonstrated her dedication to the local community of Newark and vicinity. She was the founder/director of a performing arts studio for 15 years and in 1997 her studio was featured in the NY Times,Sunday Arts section on Sacred Dance in New Jersey. She volunteered her services for 18 plus productions. Her mission was to implement programs that assist in life skills development that enable students to develop their innate abilities and talents in the area of performing arts. To build character including training in social skills (etiquette, poise, presentational skills); (theory, technique), listening skills, etc. In 2003, Madie produced and choreographed a community project sponsored by the Freedom Foundation/Newark Best Friends Program for Newark Public Schools (elementary to High School) at the Newark Bears Riverfront Stadium.
Michael and Madie met at a church in central New Jersey. Both attended Advanced Christian Training School and were very active in the local church. They were united as one in marriage in 2005 and in January, 2008, Worship For Life Ministries (WFLM) was born. WFLM is not a church, but is a community based organization supporting the efforts of the church. Now God can use them both as powerful, results-oriented evangelists who will : "Not judge by appearances, but each morning roll up their sleeves and pull on sturdy work clothes and boots and build righteousness and faithfulness in the land".(Isa. 11:4-5 TMB).
Michael & Madie (MNM) believes you can change your destiny. The challenge is to dare to do the impossible...and together, we CAN build stronger individuals, families, communities, lives.
