Best-selling Christian author and life coach Paula White graced New York City as she kicked off her newest "The Life By Design Empowerment Center" on Sunday.
Held at the Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom, the event also drew two top gospel artists Cece Winans, and DeLeon Richards-Sheffield to help the grand opening ceremonies.
Through the center, the inspirational leader hopes that people can change their lives and mindsets to become the people that God designed them to be.
"My goal as a life coach is to mentor and encourage individuals to be all they can be, to understand who they are and their unique purpose in life,” explained White in a statement. “There is a plan designated for each person, and I believe this meeting will help enable people to walk in that plan."
According to the founder, people who participate in the program will learn to transform their lives from the “inside and out.”
Through a variety of methods such as illustrations and practical applications, White shows individuals how to live the meaningful life that they have always wanted. She will help people find their unique gifts that God has placed in them.
"It really is to show them how they can overcome the obstacles and issues of life and not be held back,” added the life coach. “For each of us it is possible to prosper, have hope and a promising future. My ultimate goal as a life coach is to focus the hearts and minds of those I influence on that eternal promise. We want to see people walking in wholeness in every area of their life."
