International Outreach
In 2011, we established two churches in Monrovia & Ganta City Liberia, which was featured in the Swedish Film Institute’s documentary film, "A Pan African Mission". The film which highlights the missionary work being done in Liberia, was released in the Spring of 2023, and has been shown in over a dozen foreign countries to date.

Shrine Food Warriors
In 2018, in partnership with the Detroit Black Food Sovereignty Network, the Shrine Food Warriors program was initiated, featuring a community garden with raised beds yielding an abundance of crops, being regularly distributed to local neighborhoods. The Food Warriors continues today, educating youth about food systems, agriculture, food preservation, and recycling.
Black Brick Masters
In 2024, the Mother Shrine opened her doors to a new collaboration with Building Black Brick Masters, a local mentoring, training and development program for black boys and men was birthed. This partnership is currently working to revise the traditional Freedom School model, so that it can be replicated across the metro Detroit Community proving greater impact to more youth and their families.
