I AM My Sister’s Keeper

A year in review….As I think back over 2018, I am quite

excited about what transpired….last year our theme for

IAMSK was Ignite the Fire (Family, Fitness, and Finances)!

We wanted to ignite the fire under women whose desire was to

go back to school, to get back into shape, and to build healthy

relationships with their families.

The first part of the year, we concentrated on our Fitness and

our Families where we walked every Monday, and we did

Pilates, Zumba, and Bootcamp. We were able to identify our

goals and start building healthy relationships with our

families. The second part of the year, we provided a 4 week

Life Coaching Workshop to women who needed a PUSH to get

to the next level in their lives; we had 10 women complete this

INTENSE workshop where one woman started writing her

book and the book is due to be published at the end of January

2019! Another woman started her own business, one woman’s

business was re-ignited and her daycare is bursting out the

seams; filled to capacity. Our organization also has become a

safe haven for women who have community service hours to

complete. They can complete their hours at IAMSK

headquarters. Thus far, 7 women have come to IAMSK to

We are in need of volunteers

to assist with data entry,

light bookkeeping, making

phone calls, assist with

mailing campaigns, and

dusting/cleaning.

No More Excuses! January /February 2019, Volume 1

…...continued from Page 1

Last year we helped provide the resources to Ignite the Fire, this year, there’s No More

Excuses. No More excuses for not getting our credit repaired/restored, no more excuses for

not getting in shape, no more excuses for not having healthier relationships, no more excuses

for not walking fully in ministry, no more excuses for not getting out of debt, no more

excuses for not starting a new job, or opening a checking account, or starting a new

business, no more excuses for not being involved in your community, or relocating to a new

place….NO MORE EXCUSES! Aren’t’ you tired of making excuses? The excuses end in 2019!

For the 1st Quarter of 2019, we have some exciting workshops happening under our

Culture87 program:

• Starting on January 10th, Thursday evenings at 9:00 PM, we will continue to have

our monthly prayer calls! Pastor Val and Pastor KJ – will continue to pray without

ceasing and we hope you will join us! Send your prayers request in advance or log in

and share with the team. Faith is the key and prayer unlocks the door!

• Starting on February 2nd, we will have our No More Excuses, Boss Your Finances

workshop – it’s a 6-week Saturday workshop where we’re going to have professional

people come in and talk about credit repair/credit restoration, debt management,

budgeting, life insurance, retirement and taxes.

• Starting on February 7th, Thursday evenings, we will have No More Excuses, Life

Coaching Workshop – its 6-week workshop, coaching done by a husband and wife

team, so women, guess what, the men are invited! Bring your husband with you!

ing Healthy Families workshop— it’s a 6-week workshop where we will set some goals,

identify low cost activities for our kids, tips for low cost meals, and my

We have a LOT going on for Q1! I want to encourage you to not make 2019 a year of

excuses. We provide the tools and resources necessary for you to know better and to do

better. We look forward to you being involved.

We are also looking for sponsors for all of these events (Financial & Food Sponsors). If you

or your company would like to sponsor some of the women, and/or provide breakfast and

lunch for these events, please contact Karolyn Johnson at 919.271.8502.
