Hi, my name is Terita St Julian. I'm so thankful you're visiting our ITVM website. We want you to be part of our ITVM family; so, let me tell you a little bit about us. In 1997, I met Nolan St Julian, Jr (aka Saint). Following his time in the Air Force, he moved from Louisiana to my hometown in Alabama. We locked eyes as he introduced himself as "Saint". Our meeting was a match made in Heaven. By 1999, we were married. During those first years of our marriage, we threw parties...a lot of them. Both of us had church roots but followed our worldly desires.
But...
They prayed for us!

​Baby Avery, Doris (Saint's Mom), Mary (my mom), and Martha (my Grandma Lee)
In 2002, God blessed us with our firstborn, Avery. He was gifted but tested us and his teachers. One day during his troubled middle school years, I prayed earnestly about his behavior; then, God placed upon my heart, "If you want him to be a man of God, you must be a woman of God!" That moment rocked me to the core!
In 2010, God blessed us with our daughter, Aleesa. Shortly after her birth, God placed these words upon my heart, "She was made to delight people in the Lord." I had no idea what God was planning. She began reading by the age of one. While serving for the first time with an organization called, the Huntsville Dream Center, she met a special man, which led her to publish her first Christian book, "The Day I Met Walt" with the sequel, "The Day Walt Met Me" shortly following. By age six, she traveled reading to kids in schools and churches. In 2022, she was interviewed by Joyce Meyer Ministries where she shared her testimony as to how God worked through Joyce Meyer to impact her earlier years.

During Aleesa's toddler years, God began bringing a greater awareness of His presence in our lives. In 2014, my heart was deeply burdened for Christian parents who were unaware of the traps set to pull people away from Christ. While crying out for parents in prayer, God placed a calling upon my heart to write a book and course called, "Training Your Children to Remain in the Vine," based on this verse.

John 15:5.
[Jesus states] 'I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.'

MY YES
Following my "yes" to that call, we faced many struggles including job loss and a lot of tests along the way. However, as I began to study the Bible, connect with church family, serve, and fervently pray, God helped me complete the book and placed a ministry vision upon my heart. I shared my thoughts with Saint, the kids, and Mom.
On 2/12/2023, Saint and I were commissioned to be Elders at our church, The Rock Family Worship Center in Huntsville, Alabama where our kids faithfully serve as youth and young adult leaders.
At the age of six, God placed upon my heart to take Aleesa's first book to the schools. Within days, she read, "The Day I Met Walt" to approximately 700 students in a public school. Shortly after, she was asked to visit other schools, churches, and organizations. Later, reports started coming that schoolchildren throughout the United States were taking their copies to schools for show-and-tell. God continued to open doors allowing Aleesa to reach more and more children for Christ when she became a voice actress at Collier Animation Studios, based in Grand Haven, Michigan where they produce Christ-centered animations that are broadcast on Tubi which has over 74 Million users.
Avery became a classically trained pianist who also plays for our church's Young Adult, Youth, and Rock Kids Ministries. He is a senior at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) with a double major in Mathematics and Piano Pedagogy which has equipped him to train children and adults in the areas of piano and mathematics where he prays over them and their talents. He leads "Your Song" which is part of ITVM's Creative Art Ministry.
God continued to shock us when He called me to write a feature film screenplay called, "Amazing Grace" based on our family's story. Avery will help compose the original musical pieces for the film. In 2022, Aleesa and I attended the International Christian Film Festival in Orlando, Florida where our screenplay was officially selected. It received a second selection with Kingdomwood Film Festival in Atlanta, GA.
Saint's love for motorcycles and desire to see men grow in Christ led him to start ITVM's Motorcycle Ministry. In 2020, God led us to purchase land to start a separate company called, The Vine Garden Limited, a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization to help feed widows and orphans.
All of us started to BELIEVE in something more than our eyes could see!
