The International Agape Movement

The International Agape Movement (IAM), founded in Atlanta, GA, in 2007, is a group grounded in the ministry of Love for all mankind! Serving interfaith ministries and people not associated with religion, persons become members with the purpose of wanting to rid the world of hate by creating formats for workshops on conflict resolution and transformation, pastoral care and spiritual care, message music and continuous universal love for the souls of people across the globe. What we tend to find is that there are so many similarities, which can help to bond us together in love, versus glorifying the differences to divide us.

All About Love

Music by local and international musicians, under the direction of Rev. Edward “pastarChief” Menifee

INT AGAPE MOVEMENT

Surveying and pulling on a plethora of music genres, the band renders a combination of songs displaying various rhythms and sounds heard near and far, domestically and internationally. The ultimate desire is to appeal to the hearts of women, men and children, with an agape theme. The musical portions are presented by local and international musicians, under the direction of Rev. Edward “pastarChief” Menifee, pastor of IAM. The messages bring forth a variety of topics including self-love, pursuing your divine purpose, attending to excellence in life, love for your neighbor, being real with your objectives, staying true to friendships and relationships, conferring about reconciliation in marriages, being dependable, celebrating the small victories, respecting one’s differences, and staying persistent with your passions, just to name a few.

The human condition is impacted by trauma and triggers associated with many trials and troubles. The spaces and places for humanity to respond are endless, and IAM wants to help begin the healing journeys for so many who have neglected the self-help that they so desperately need and deserve. Since every emotion and thought is legitimate to human likeness, the music, messages and ministry, are compelled to respond to the souls of people who often need encouragement. IAM’s position is that we were all created in love and love is at the very center of our being-ness. Too often, tragedies and major events mount fear, bitterness, insecurities, disease, uneasiness, and other ailments in the way of our exuding and experiencing agape love in the universe. IAM is here to help remedy this and are inviting others to become members of this effort to move people in the direction of healing and breakthrough, show their best selves and live the fullness of a spiritually evolved life.
