One Million Books

One Million Books is a GCS literacy campaign aimed at increasing the reading proficiency of students by tackling the challenge of reading one million books. This new initiative from Superintendent Mo Green, encourages each student to read 14 individuals short stories, novels and/or autobiographies in relation to his or her grade level within one year. Mount Zion Baptist Church has partnered with GCS to insure we do our part in the community to support the educational advancement of our children.

Youth BLAZE Declaration

Today is the day I turn potential into promise
and promise becomes productivity for the kingdom.
God has anointed me to do great things.
I will not settle for being average.

The gifts that God has placed in me will impact the world.
I am more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ.
There is not one thing I cannot do because Jesus makes it all possible.

As a child, I will honor my mother and father.
As a student, I am at the top of my class.
I am wise and I am disciplined. The Lord will reward my actions quickly. He is not slack concerning his promises to me.
Things that used to be difficult for me will be easy from this day forth.
When God speaks to me I hear him clearly, without confusion and I will obey his voice.

Father I am yours and I will spend my entire life seeking your face.
I am one with your voice. I am one with your vision.
I won’t look back.
I won’t let up.
I will know your ways.
I will be bold for you.
I will become what you made me to be.
I will reflect the image of Jesus in the earth.
I will work for you, talk to you and do all that you sent me here to do.
I am totally Soul-ed out to you!

This week will be a great week for my life.
I declare that God will increase me ONE THOUSAND TIMES GREATER and BLESS ME as he promised.

Amen!
