A TIME OF TRANSITION
Our Past
Destination Destiny is a 501(c)3 the was started in 2005 with a mission to help youth process their life experiences. We have served youth organizations of all demographics in rural, suburban and urban communities across the United States. As a Kingdom-minded ministry, we believe what is happening everywhere is more important than what is happening in any single organization. Our years of experience as youth leaders, business professionals, parents and teachers drives our dedication to building a community of supportive adults all focused on inspiring youth to become discerning of the choices they make as they walk out their DESTINY.
Over the years Destination Destiny has identified that young people need guidance in dealing with the effects of peer pressure. Helping them become all they can be in the midst of their daily circumstances. Young people are successful when those around them successfully point them in the right direction. Young people will only know how to live victorious lives when adults assist them in seeing that their present has meaning and they can create a vision and purpose that operates as their north star.
Destination Destiny provides young people mentoring, life skills development and exposures that create social and economic mobility escalators. For those who pour into the lives of young people, we provide services that optimize their organizational structure, strategy, and systems.
Our Present
In 2016, Destination Destiny expanded its services as the young people became adults, employees, business owners, husbands and wives, parents, and in some instances grandparents. We grew our donor base and now offer a range of services that assist adults in making informed decisions as they walk out their destiny and businesses as they serve their clients.
Our history is really “His story” playing out in the lives of those we serve. Destination Destiny is in the process of Reinvention and Innovation. Gifts are being drawn out of us in stretching dimensions as the Lord redefines and adjusts the rules in the way necessary for us to move forward. In these times, He is giving us new focus and direction.
We are patient in these times as the next wave of the Holy Spirit emerges. Another way to express it is that we are going from “old wineskins to new wineskins” to contain the coming increase.
Our Future
So, as we expand, not leave, training up youth to provide training and coaching to organizations and individuals, it is a revelatory perspective that bridges our past to our future utilization of all our gifts, talents, and, most importantly, our experience.
Through our innovative services, The Byrdseyeview Executive Coaching & Consulting, Critical Conversation Series, seminars, workshops, eLearning educational curriculum, and a bi-monthly newsletter Destination Destiny has become a source inspiration and thought leadership across the country.
While we are not a religious organization, Destination Destiny was founded on three biblical mandates. The first mandate arises from Matthew 28, which commands us to live lives of integrity, honor, and character. The second mandate comes from Galatians, which teaches that adults are the gatekeepers of our youth through their transitional states. The third mandate is grounded in the teachings of Mark 10:35-45, which states we are to work towards the best interest of others.
When we give ourselves away in service to others, we find meaning and purpose in life that freewill individualism can never equal. The Bible says, the service we provide not only meets needs but expresses thanks to God and leads others to praise God.
