Welcome to GRO-FAITH Ministries
GRO-FAITH Ministries was formed in 1997, and is an
outgrowth of GRAMS of FAITH, a monthly newsletter, and
another publication, the GRAMS of FAITH Inspirational
Calendar. As a new book was about to make its debut (GRAMS
of FAITH—Inspirational Poetry), it was necessary to create
an overall name for all publications, and thus, GRO-FAITH
Ministries was established with a goal of “publishing the
positive.”
Now referred to as a magazine, the monthly
publication was developed in July 1980, and the first
(four-page) issue was introduced the very next month. It has
now grown to an average of 28 pages and continues to tell of
God’s goodness as it features church events, community
notes, family news, business ventures, and more. It also
highlights the gifts and talents of others—writers, poets,
artists—and often includes articles written by specialists
in different fields. On a few occasions, readers have been
able to renew friendships, after having recognized the name
or photograph of a long-lost acquaintance in a feature
article or on the list of supporters!
Below you will
see the cover page of the first issue, a few subsequent
anniversary issues, the first full-color issue, the first
“people” cover, etc.
