VISION

1) In line with GiG’s vision, the main focus is the prevention of youth and school goers to fall into clutches of drugs (prescription and illegal), ADHD, Bipolar, oppositional defiance, conduct disorder, not taking responsibility, no remorse for actions, defiance for actions, not adhering to boundaries, disobedience, rebellion, being negative, bitterness, believing they cannot attain a great future, having no hope etc

2) To trust the goodness and love of God to transform problem and negative children with behavioral problems etc into gentle natured and responsible individuals.

MISSION

1) To have a group of permanent children who are called into ministry as a core or skeleton that will form the structure to aid those vulnerable to transform and aid them in their teaching as often these children are rebellious against authority and they need those alongside them to change their thinking, be in one mind and purpose. The teaching methods that will be used is the Montessori system together with Computers will aid those coming from Government and traditional schooling to maintain their progress with their schooling according to their syllabus.

2) To have children (pre-school, primary and secondary) come to GiG for schooling for a period of time (months) to be rehabilitated in their thinking and attitude, however with the main focus on transformation rather than academics. For those that need more intense work, to live-in on the property in one of the dormitories.

3) Parents to be involved, counselled and taught how to discipline their children and how to maintain permanent transformation. Both parents/s that are actively involved in parenting the child/ren from day to day, need to agree, interact, participate and attend meetings for the child/ren to be accepted. If both active parenting parent/s don’t agree, the child/ren will only be accepted if GiG becomes the parenting substitute. This the parents have to agree to and/or put in place by the court, else we will not accept the child/ren.

4) To have camps, weekly/monthly/bi-annual activities to maintain contact with children & parents, to maintain transformation and prevent deterioration of attitude and relationships and for them to help others and be equipped.

5) GiG’s Christian community on the premises will act as a support structure to assist the children & families as in a multitude of councillors there is wisdom.
