Daughters of Destiny(D0D) Overview
We are honored to obey the Word of God, which says “let the elder
women teach the younger women” (Titus 2:3-5). Our goal is to
empower young women 13 to 18 years old to be successful,
professional, and productive citizens, obtaining wealth while walking
in the wisdom of God. Our purpose is to impart Godly principles so
that our young ladies will become effective witnesses as they
maintain a committed lifestyle, thus, discovering the power of God to
transform lives and declare a generation that will change the world.

of Excellence Ministry in September 2011

book/reading engagement and weekly contacts with mentors.
