ICFM Biography and Philosophy
With a heart to serve God and a passion for young people, I Can Fly Ministries (ICFM) was founded in 2007 in Vicksburg, MS to promote unity and to enhance spiritual and moral growth among today’s youth. We accomplish this by bringing a diverse group of youth together from different communities, schools and churches to participate in cultural, civic and spiritual activities. They began meeting and having bible studies with the youth in the community – with a passion to mentor & encourage young believers and build disciples through the art of dance and mime.
Community service activities, talk sessions, dancing, and mime were all ministered on the local & state level. ICFM has been ministering in various art forms since its conception and reaching men and women of all ages with the message of Jesus Christ. In 2009 Radical Praise for Christ (RP4C) Dance Ministry was started by ICFM. RP4C is a ministry that focuses on sharing our faith in Jesus Christ through choreographed and spontaneous creative dance and mime.
In 2011, I Can Fly Ministries combined the arts and mentorship focus and became a non-profit organization and has been successful in using the arts as an outlet to draw young people to Christ, change youth outlook on life, empower youth to improve academics, motivated youth to serve their communities through volunteerism, and mentor youth in the area of leadership. Some of the mentorship programs offered have been CPR training, Sewing, Vision Boards, ACT Workshops, Scholarship Programs, Resume and Interview Skills, Culinary Mentoring, Purity Group, Fitness, Community Service training such as ministering at nursing homes and shelters, feeding homeless and less fortunate, Operation Shoebox, and so much more. Some of the Arts training offered is Choreographed Dance with Modern, Ballet, & Jazz, Mime, Spontaneous Movement, Flags, & much more. In addition to youth related activities, ICFM produces an annual Mega Conference in June that has become one the most sought after summer community event. The ministry gives honor to God for growth and every opportunity to serve the Kingdom of God.
