About Me

Welcome to More Than a Pretty Face Ministries' official myspace page!!More Than a Pretty Face was founded as a program for adolescent girls in 2005. Since then, MTPF reached today's young women and teens through mentoring programs, workshops, clinics, an e-newsletter, and website under the ministry specifically designed for teen girls. As a young woman who had to overcome poor self-esteem , fatherlessness, and pressures to follow the culture's misconception of beauty, sexuality and womanhood...I am fulfilling my purpose through MTPF to teach and uplift young women.Why? With the oversexualization and degradation of women in society and the media, it is vital that young girls see positive examples of young women living a life of chastity and virtue - and be taught how to practically live a life of virtue in an increasingly degenerate culture.The mission of More Than a Pretty Face is just that. It is MTPF's goal to help the lost come to Christ, aid young women in discovering and building healthy self-esteem, inspire our adolescent girls to unashamedly be all that God has created them to be, and provide support and guidance for young women committing to sexual purity until marriage. More Than a Pretty Face seeks to educate, encourage, and equip - aiding in the development of qualities our young women need to be abstinent until marriage, have self-esteem, be confident (through Christ) and exemplify inner beauty expressed outwardly.For more information on the ministries of MTPF, and myself, Ocielia Gibson, visit http://ocieliagibson.page.tl. ...or hit me up on my personal MySpace page: www.myspace.com/ocieliagibson!
