Changing A Destiny

Overview

Changing A Destiny is a U.S. non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational and spiritual support to families both locally and internationally. It operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Mission

The primary mission of Changing A Destiny is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with non-Christians, aiming to inspire individuals to become spiritually mature and lead other communities towards faith. The organization also focuses on creating an environment where children can receive comprehensive education, fostering them to become leaders guided by Christian values.

Activities

Changing A Destiny began with a mission trip to Kilifi County, Kenya, one of the poorest areas in Kenya. The organization has been working to establish educational and spiritual infrastructure in this region. Key projects include:

• Land Purchase: Successfully acquired two acres of land in April 2022.
• Church Construction: Completed building a church in April 2023 to serve as a community spiritual center.
• School Development: Ongoing efforts to construct a six-room school for young children.

Local Initiatives

In addition to international work, Changing A Destiny collaborates with local organizations like Life Choices, a family resource center in Burlington, WI. This partnership supports young families with resources such as pregnancy counseling, domestic abuse support, parenting classes, and free supplies. The organization also collects diapers and allocates a portion of its fundraising to support local initiatives.

Fundraising and Donations

Changing A Destiny engages in various fundraising activities, including collecting gently used shoes. These shoes are repurposed either for use by those in need or sold to support families in Africa and other parts of the world. The organization receives financial support for each pound of shoes collected.

Vision Statement

Changing A Destiny aims to instruct students and families in the teachings of the Bible and plant seeds of faith through education, Bible studies, and community building in Kilifi, Kenya, and neighboring areas.
