About GIGI

Where it all Began

Back in 2012, in a testament to sisterly love and shared faith, we came together to create a ministry aimed at nurturing the spirits of teenage girls. For four years, we orchestrated events designed for teen girls and mothers, touching the lives of over a thousand young souls who attended these in person programs. With boundless creativity, we designed and published magazines for girls of all ages. Our message is simple—you are GIGI, Gorgeous In God’s Image!

Over the years, our ministry has evolved, and we’ve been fortunate enough to expand our resources, including books and podcasts tailored for children. But our impact goes beyond mere resources. Through our books, podcasts, and ongoing projects, specifically designed for children aged 4-9 and girls aged 10-14, we weave narratives that beautifully illustrate God’s boundless love, the gift of forgiveness, and the unwavering hope found in relying on Him.

We journey forward because of the heartfelt testimonies we receive from mums and children. Every message from mothers and children inspires us to keep creating, innovating, and reaching even more young hearts with our messages of Jesus.
