LDR Weekend 2021
Amid growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, the Planning Team has decided to move the date for LDR from Labor Day Weekend to Black History Month, February 12-14, President’s Day Weekend. Better travel options, lodging, restaurants and entertainment make Charlotte, NC an exciting location for LDR 2021. A new format will offer more focused expertise in the breakout groups and a greater opportunity to connect in an engaged but relaxed way. Registration will open in August.
February 12-14

Testimonials
Having attended the conference for the first time, I know it will not be my last. I am already talking it up for next year and will be inviting others to join me!
This conference was an absolute blessing! My family will be back!!
Always refreshing and feeds my soul.
The pre-teen/teen track was incredible! Our children were moved by what they learned and I can see the message working in their hearts and minds.
Powerful in terms of content - but also gave practical & useful action items. I wanted to go to all of the seminars!
All the plenary speakers were exceptionally passionate, knowledgeable, motivated and anointed.
