Global Empowerment Ministries was founded in 2005 with a simple but powerful belief: God has called His people to more than survival. We are a Christian ministry built at the intersection of faith and the marketplace — training entrepreneurs, empowering families, and developing communities through the timeless principles of Scripture and sound business practice.
Our vision extends beyond Detroit. We are building a global community of social entrepreneurs committed to ending poverty, creating jobs, and lifting up the name of Jesus through the work of their hands.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9
