Developing Destiny One Life at a Time
Developing Destiny One Life at a Time
Developing Destiny, Inc is a dream that began in New York and has now come into fruition. My wife Beverly and I are originally from New York. I worked in the New York School System for over twenty years, while Beverly worked for the State of New York’s DMV. When we weren’t working on our professional jobs, we worked passionately in community development. For over fifteen years, Beverly and I were actively involved in serving food to those living in shelters as well as the homeless. Our passion grew and grew so we took our community services and ministry a step further and began visiting the inmates throughout the tri-state area. This experience was quite humbling. In 1999, we were inspired to move to Jacksonville, Florida. Not willing to give up on reaching out to the community, we did some research and found several opportunities to continue what we started in New York. We found that there was plenty of work to do in Jacksonville. We continue to this day going into shelters, the streets, nursing homes and the prisons with a message of hope and God’s love.
DJ Carl Allen and his wife Beverly have been on TV for 22 years praying for people in need and would like to know Jesus. They’re show “Bless the Mic” airs on CW 17 every 3rd and 4th Saturday. They have also been helping to feed and minister to people in the streets for over 35 years. You can find their Jesus Bus at various family friendly events all around Jacksonville. www.developingdestiny.net
“BLESS THE MIC” is a show that gives exposure to new and upcoming artists to showcase their talents and gifts. “BLESS THE MIC” keeps our local viewers informed of the talent in and throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas. Although many of our guests and artists aren’t household names as of yet, they have the potential to become that and more. Read More….

DJ Carl started “spinning records“ back in the 70’s in New York City where he was born and raised. His love of music of all different styles made Carl the choice for DJing all of his school events. It wasn’t a large stretch to find him setting a trend DJing in Roosevelt Long Island in the local parks. This led to the rap group Public Enemy in the early years and managing the gospel group, Christ Sent, in New York with his wife, Beverly. They would follow their passion for music and Jesus Christ while opening performances for Gladys Knight, the Four Tops and many others. Singing for the likes of Lou Gossett, Jr, Wesley Snipes, Phyllis Hyman and the New York Knicks was rounding out their professional and spiritual walk. Being invited to perform at Rev. Al Sharpton’s birthday party with Rev. Jesse Jackson and C. Vernon Mason attending was a lifetime event. Spreading the Good News of Christ continues to be our daily praise. “To God be the Glory”
Need a dynamic and fun DJ for your next event. We would love to be a part of that special birthday, anniversary or just a big get together with friends.
Your contribution will enable us to continue our vision of being a guiding light in sharing the life of Jesus Christ and His salvation.

Coach Allen has spent the better part of his public schools career teaching and coaching young people through sports and the love of Christ. Sports Camp with Coach Allen has become the go to around Jax for some time. From swimming and golf to basketball and flag football, tennis and bowling, movies, it’s all about Fun Camp. We want to be a guiding light in building self esteem and the difference between competition and dignity in all we do. Coach being a five time perfect 300 game bowler keeps us humble. We rib him about his Barkley layups so no worries.:)

This September, Beverly and I have an incredible opportunity to travel to Los Angeles, California with a group from New Life Christian Fellowship. We are currently enrolled in a Ministry Equipping and Training course at New Life and have served in various ministries in past. Although we have never been to Los Angeles, we are so excited to partner with a ministry there call The Dream Center.
While we are there, we will go to Skid Row the world’s largest homeless population, have a Food Mobile Bank, where we will go into the most impoverishedneighborhoods distributing groceries to 20 distribution sites, Adopt-A-Block, assist in cleaning the streets of LA, beautician of homes, random of acts and host a KIDZ JAM, with face paints, games, music and so much more.
We would ask, first and foremost, for you to pray for the team as we prepare to go. We have been working to raise money through fundraisers, but we must raise $2400 to cover the cost of the trip. Your financial support through a tax-deductible donation would be greatly appreciated and a huge blessing.
Payments are due at intervals between now and September. If you choose to give, you may make checks payable to New Life Christian Fellowship. (If writing acheck, please enclose our names on a separate piece of paper rather than on the memo line on the check for tax purposes.) You can also give directly to our trip with Cashapp, you can find me by searching [$dj777carl].
No gift is too small. Each is greatly appreciated as well as your prayers. We look forward to sharing with you how you helped the people of Los Angeles with your generosity.
1 Chronicles 16:24 – “Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.”
We are so excited about spending the day with this young group of believers and doers. We spent the day enjoying music and sharing our hopes and dreams. What an exciting place with such exciting people.
One of our afternoon Praise Celebrations. Leading and helping others in their walk with Christ Jesus is Our Call. To God be the Glory..
