The Power to Hope, Learn, and Succeed 
Echad Marriage & Family Dynamics - Coaching married couples into success. Moreover, coaching families to overcome obstacles and function with the love of God. See Echard Marriage & Family Page for details.
Male Youth Program - Male youth ministry for boys– teaching godly principles. 
- Tutorial Programs for male students with learning differences–ages 10-14. Most people know, or are taught, at an early age, how to process information and develop an organized plan or strategy when confronted with a problem, whether that problem is social, academic, or job related. Others find such cognitive processes quite difficult. Learning disabilities or differences have only recently been recognized as disabilities. This neurological disorder causes difficulty in organizing information received, remembering them, and expressing information and therefore affects a person’s basic function such as reading, writing, comprehension, and reasoning. However, these students with learning disabilities can be taught effective learning strategies that will help them approach tasks more effectively.
Pastor Leo Carter is a Director of Pastoral Services and teaches at-risk males on religion. He has also taught students with learning difficulties at one of the most prestigious schools in San Diego, CA. Tutorial classes for male students are held at Perfecting Praise Ministries to teach these students techniques on how successfully overcome these processing giants and effectively apply information.
Leadership for the 21st Century — Leadership Bound - This program is for teens and adults who desire to work in management. Pastor Tarran Carter, an Executive Coach, will teach some of the same leadership skills she taught executives and lawyers.
Learning Skills: “To cope with the demands of the 21st century,” the report states, “students need to know more
than core subjects. They need to know how to use their knowledge and skills-by thinking critically, applying knowledge to new situations, analyzing information, comprehending new ideas, communicating, collaborating, solving problems, and making decisions.”
