Footprints of Faith - The Delrene Story; Fundraiser
We are thrilled to introduce a brand-new addition to our ministry’s mission to shape the next generation: Footprints of Faith – The Delrene Story, 👉 now available on Amazon.
This inspiring children’s book follows young Delrene—a bright island girl with big dreams and a bigger heart—as she learns to trust God, explore her calling, and walk boldly in faith. With vivid illustrations and heartfelt storytelling, the book invites children everywhere to imagine what God can do through their lives when they listen, believe, and obey.
Why This Book Matters
In a world full of noise and distraction, children need stories that anchor their hearts in truth. Footprints of Faith - The Delrene Story gives them not just a story, but a journey—one filled with courage, purpose, and the gentle reminder that God’s hand is upon their lives from childhood.
Bulk Orders for Ministries, Classrooms & Families
For churches, teachers, and groups who want to bless multiple children this season, we are offering bulk-order access (5 copies or more) directly through our ministry website: 👉 Bulk Orders
A Gift That Keeps On Giving
We pray this book strengthens faith, sparks imagination, and reminds every child who reads it that their steps are guided by a God who loves them deeply. May it be a blessing in your home and a light in a child's future.
Thank you for supporting our Children's Program.
Together, we are building a brighter, healthier future—one mission at a time.
Unhealthy Relationships Result from Sowing Wounds Instead of Wisdom
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3
Unhealthy relationships rarely begin with bad intentions—they often begin with unhealed wounds. When pain goes untreated, it quietly shapes our choices, our boundaries, and the people we allow access to our lives. Instead of sowing wisdom, we sow survival patterns.
Research supports this reality. Studies from the American Psychological Association show that unresolved trauma significantly increases the likelihood of entering and remaining in unhealthy or emotionally unsafe relationships. Similarly, attachment research published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships links insecure attachment—often formed through early emotional wounds—to patterns of people-pleasing, avoidance, and fear-based bonding in adulthood.
For many women, wounds masquerade as loyalty, patience, or faithfulness. We tolerate what we should confront, excuse what should be addressed, and call endurance “love” when wisdom is asking for boundaries. Scripture reminds us that “above all else, guard your heart” (Proverbs 4:23)—not because love is dangerous, but because unhealed hearts make unwise decisions.
Wisdom begins when we pause, reflect, and allow God to heal what hurt taught us to normalize. When women sow wisdom—through healing, accountability, prayer, and truth—they cultivate relationships rooted in peace, safety, and mutual respect. Healing doesn’t just change who we love; it changes how we love.
Unhealthy relationships are not a life sentence. They are often an invitation—calling us to stop sowing wounds and start planting wisdom.
Healing, Wisdom & Boundaries
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”Proverbs 4:23
“The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.”Proverbs 22:3
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”Psalm 147:3
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.”James 1:5

Bible Class | Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Matthew 4:18-20; 16:16-18; John 21:15-18; 2 Peter 3:14-15,18. Call And Growth. Jesus invites us to follow.
Summary: Grace and Reconciliation
Grace and reconciliation reveal the heart of God toward humanity—light, mercy, and restoration offered through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Scripture teaches that God is holy and just, yet compassionate and forgiving. When we confess our sins and turn from darkness, God is faithful to forgive and cleanse us, restoring fellowship with Him (1 John 1:5–2:6; Acts 2:38–39).
Through humility and repentance, believers experience reconciliation rather than condemnation. Like the repentant sinner who approaches God with a contrite heart, we are justified not by pride or self-righteousness, but by grace (Genesis 18:25–27; Luke 18:9–14; 1 John 5:14–15). God welcomes the repentant with mercy, as illustrated in Jesus’ teachings on forgiveness and restoration.
Grace also calls us into renewed purpose. Those whom Jesus forgives, He restores and commissions—inviting them to follow Him, grow in holiness, and serve faithfully (Matthew 4:18–20; 16:16–18; John 21:15–18). Through grace, believers mature in peace, patience, and spiritual growth as they await Christ’s return (2 Peter 3:14–15, 18).
✨ Key Lesson: Grace reconciles us to God; reconciliation restores us to purpose.

The Launch of the GFIHM Members’ Community Dashboard
GFIHM Launches New Members’ Community — A Global Hub for Connection, Growth, and Digital Engagement
“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” – Matthew 18:20
The Gospel Foundation International Healing Ministries (GFIHM) is excited to announce the official launch of the GFIHM Members’ Community Dashboard, an online platform designed to connect, equip, and empower our members, partners, and leaders around the world.
Accessible at www.gfihministries.org/community, the Members’ Community is a digital gathering place where ministry meets technology — a space for fellowship, communication, and collaboration across borders.
This initiative reflects GFIHM’s ongoing mission of Advancing the Kingdom of God, ensuring that our global family remains united in purpose and informed with excellence.
Through the Community Dashboard, members can:
Join groups and interact with leaders across ministries and programs.
Share testimonies, prayer requests, and spiritual reflections.
Access support materials, digital training, and live service updates.
Participate in community-wide discussions that strengthen faith and fellowship.
In launching this platform, the GFIHM Digital Team reminds all members and leaders:
“If you do not master the use of your own website, your members and visitors won’t either.”
By learning, engaging, and interacting with the website, you help others feel confident doing the same — creating a ripple effect of growth and understanding within the ministry.
💡 Why This Matters
The GFIH Ministries Media Network already reaches a monthly audience of over 570 people across Jamaica, the United States, South Africa, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with more than 125,000 total views across digital platforms.
Now, by engaging on the website itself, members can transfer that audience into a space the ministry owns and controls, ensuring that if social platforms ever change, restrict, or remove content, the GFIHM family will remain connected and thriving in its own house of digital faith.
This is more than a website — it’s our digital home of fellowship, faith, and future vision.
