WHAT IS PROJECT12?DESIGNED FOR LIFE IS ALL ABOUT INSPIRING AND EQUIPPING YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIENDS TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU.

THROUGH PROJECT 12 WE WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH REAL AND PRACTICAL IDEAS OF HOW YOU CAN BRING A REVOLUTION OF HOPE TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOUR CITY AND THE WORLD.

IN YOUR BOOKLET THERE IS A LIST OF “SHE IS ONE” IDEAS THAT YOU CAN DO ON YOUR OWN AND “SHE IS MANY” IDEAS THAT YOU CAN DO TOGETHER WITH YOUR GIRLFRIENDS. IT’S EASY - ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PICK A PROJECT TO DO ON YOUR OWN AND ONE TO DO WITH FRIENDS EACH MONTH. IT’S THAT SIMPLE!

THE GOAL IS TO CAUSE ALL OF US TO BE PURPOSEFUL IN USING OUR LIVES TO REACH OUT AND TOUCH OTHERS. OUR PRAYER IS THAT THROUGH PROJECT 12 GOD WILL TAKE WHAT HE DID IN OUR HEARTS AND LIVES AT DFL2013 AND MULTIPLY IT THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.

LET THE REVOLUTION CONTINUE!
