More than a name it’s a strategy for the truth to be told
Prophetic Ministry 2020 Level 1 Certificate Program
Our Program
The Prophetic Ministry Training is not just for prophets. It is designed for all believers, those graced with prophetic abilities, and those called the Office of the Prophet. Acts 2:17 (KJV), declares, ?? it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.?
Hence the importance of an environment where believers can be trained, activated, and affirmed. Our biblical foundation and obligation are found in Ephesians 4:11-12, ?to build up and prepare the body of Christ for effective ministry.?The curriculum that we offer focuses on developing a healthy spiritual life, equipping the body of Christ for ministry work, building confidence for evangelism and prophetic ministry, and provide in-depth teaching and training on prophetic ministry.
What Makes Our Program Unique
In addition to preparation we also provide our students the opportunity to expand their ministry skills by reaching
the unchurch through national (completion of level one) and global outreach ( completion of levels 2 & 3) These transcultural experiences will provide our students with a kingdom preceptive of ministry.
Prophetic Ministry 2020
When a region needs a word, a prophet is deployed. The modern-day prophet must be educated and
equipped to effectively be a divine functionary for the King, as a Prophetic leader to getGod?s tasks and projects done, by His people by motivating and moving them forward in the Lord?s purposes and to express the inherent ability to compel the manifestation of his/her word on the earth?s forces and elements.
Christ Centered in The City International Ministries. It is the implementation of the Smith Family Foundation core value dedicated to the multifaceted complexities of Urban Ministry. Under the umbrella of Christ Centered In the City “Christ Centered In the City Urban Ministry and Leadership Development Center, Christ Centered In the City “City Café” and the Kahmale Project.”
The Smith Family Foundation of New Jersey believes that Higher Education is the normal next step for students after high school! This means that students are working during their high school career with the goal in mind to attend a two or four year college, trade school, or to become career ready upon their graduation. Along with our corporate sponsors, Wilkin & Guttenplan, P.C., Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Johnson and Johnson, on August 6, 2020 we will celebrated our 4th Annual College Freshmen Care Package Give Away to show our support and dedication to young people moving on to institutions of higher education. The give away was a huge success. Last school year we were able to serve over 300 students, this year (2020-2021) we will provided 500 care packages to low-income, first-generation college students. The College Care Package Give Away is our way of supporting local youth and letting them know how proud we are as they pursue their educational endeavors.
Pictures above show the students receiving their care packages and some of our partners. Students served were from Trenton Public Schools, Charter Schools and Community Organizations. We are also in partnership with The College of New Jersey’s Educational Opportunity Fund.

The campers of 2019 have experienced horse back riding, enjoyed a rendition of Aladdin, and even had a blast at Coco Keys indoor water resort. This transformative experience encourages creative expression, critical thinking, and the cultivation of meaningful bonds. Culminating with the Youth Turn campers displaying their talents for our community.
The Youth Turn Productions FREE seven summer camp began on August 1, 2019 , following auditions held at The Smith Family Foundation of New Jersey. With a partnership with Grace Community Church where the campers rehearsed, learned of the arts, and production equipment.

In partnership with Passage Theatre, Youth Turn’s 2nd summer production was “Motown Meets Trenton”.
The students learned about the history of Motown and its rise during the Civil Rights Era and Black Power Movement. They learned the lessons of innovation, hard work, creative thinking, problem solving through the inspiration of Berry Gordy and his role in creating music that transcended racial lines and brought people of all colors, races, and creeds together and broke all barriers. During the seven-week program, the students engaged in piano and drum lessons, music theory, and community service. Students used the Motown theme to inspire their writing, singing and acting skills.
The culmination of their hard work was the production of a 2 Day SOLD OUT presentation at Paper Mill Play House of “Motown Meets Trenton” written by Josh Campbell and the Artist of Youth Turn, under the Musical Direction of William Robinson Jr, and inspired by Rene B. Idowu, founder of Youth Turn.

The Smith Family Foundation NJ is excited to begin its second year of community empowerment workshops. With classes beginning September 2018 meeting every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM. The community empowerment workshop is designed to help both grassroots non-profit leadership and concerned citizens of our community to become more active in their mission as it pertains to bettering our city. We believe community empowerment refers to the process of enabling communities to increase control over their lives by working to improve concerns, increasing interests, and establishing the city’s identity from within the city limits.
