An Important Update from Ps Debbie…

Designed for Life 2020 – THE PATH LEADS HOME (literally!!!)

Who could have imagined these unexpected days that we are walking through. If you are like me, you have experienced a variety of emotions during this season of challenge and change.
Yet, in all these things – GOD HAS NOT CHANGED!

And, actually He is going ahead of us, preparing the way – and that thought, for me, has been especially encouraging as I have processed Designed for Life 2020.

Last August, as I was praying about the theme for the conference this year, I sensed God whispering to my heart… “The Path Leads Home”. I love those words, as they seem so beautiful and appropriate for this season, but at the time, I was unsure of all they would mean.

Yet now, it is obvious that God was preparing us for the future. He knew even then what we would all be experiencing today. With that in mind, due to the ever-changing COVID-19 situation across our nation and the world, we have made the decision to move the conference to an online experience.

How amazing is it to think that from the moment I began to dream and pray about DFL 2020, God knew that we would be sharing this year’s conference at home.

So dear girl, get ready for DESIGNED FOR LIFE 2020 – THE PATH LEADS HOME, a spectacular online experience! I am believing that more girls than ever are going to be a part – and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do!

Love you much,

Designed for Life 2020

Frequently Asked Questions

Conference Experience
Why is the conference being hosted online?
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions currently in place (which are predicted to severely impact occupancy at our venues in the fall), we have had to make adjustments and move to an online, CONFERENCE AT HOME experience.
What are some things I can do to connect with the Sisterhood while I’m watching?
We would love to connect you with some of the girls in the Sisterhood! Connection during the conference will be available during breakout sessions, in the live chats, and by connecting with us via social media on Facebook and Instagram.
What if I don’t have internet access or need help with the technology involved?
CONFERENCE AT HOME is designed to be experienced online which would require internet access and a compatible device. If you do not have access to the internet, we would recommend that you share the conference with a friend who has internet access!
Can I gather a group of girls at my house to watch the conference with me?
That is a great idea! We highly encourage girls to gather in homes or churches to view the conference together!
Are translation and interpretation services available?
Closed captioning will be available across all services.
Should I change my travel plans?
The decision to change your travel plans is up to you, but we will not be hosting an in-person conference this year. There are many girls who are planning on gathering at homes and hotels for a Designed for Life Sisterhood Party
