Daughters of Destiny- Caribbean & Latin America Women’s Conference and Production - 2000.

God has blessed us with the vision, expertise and wisdom needed to execute these plans. We intend to challenge and eradicate the foolish notion that women’s interaction with each other is superficial and often fraught with conflict by teaching women to embrace each other to quicken the healing processes which is needed in their lives.

Our Conference will kick off with a full scale drama, dance & musical production entitled “From Brokeness to Wholeness”, written by Ms. Tweann Hall.

This production will be held at the Daphne Joseph-Hackette Theatre, Queen’s Park, November 3, 4, 10 & 11, 2000. The cast of this production is drawn from the Barbados Youth for Christ Drama Group under the direction of Ms. Evelyn Broomes.

The goals of this conference are:

• To bring women from dormancy to full purpose in God so they can impact the Family, Church and Society, through their experiences, gifting, finances and love.

• To offer hope in the face of hopelessness.

• To prepare and equip God’s women for the future, by breaking the barriers, which mask past hurts and begin peal away the layers of falseness that pervades our homes, churches and society.

• To begin to mend their brokeness.

In the short and long term we will be seeking endorsements from women’s organisations and women’s rights advocates across Barbados with a view to making the first step towards action oriented partnerships. Organisations to be targeted include:

Marketing / Communications Thrust

We have been sharing the vision of the Organisation- especially the Conference- with Churches around the island and to date the response has been very good. We have so far gained the support of Church leaders and we will sustain these efforts by seeking to remain visible in the Church community. The services of a PR Consultant were recently acquired to assist in devising and branding and communications strategies.

The Conference will be heavily promoted in St. Vincent and Antigua. Persons are already in place as our representatives in these islands. Our CEO Mrs. Welch has already travelled to these islands and shared the Daughters of Destiny vision. To date 37 persons from St. Vincent have registered for the conference. These conference participants will be travelling up to Barbados on a special EC Express charter flight.

Promotion will take the form of radio programs, addressing church groups, printed material (flyers and posters) e-mail and mass faxing.

Long Term Goals:

D.O.D is an organisation with a definite vision for the future. Over the next (3) three years we will be implementing some ministry plans as out lined in the attachment Our Vision.

Already, specialised areas of ministry are being clarified and researched as we gear ourselves for the fulfilment of our purpose of touching lives in Caribbean through the touching the community just as Jesus did by taking his gospel to persons in ways that they can most relate to.
