Designed to Live seeks to empower those influenced by disability to live a life of meaning and significance, to live beyond their disability. We seek to share Hope and the message of Jesus Christ to those who face the daily challenges of life with a disability.
15% of the world's population is influenced by disability. Only 5-10% of these people are reached for Christ, resulting in one of the largest unreached people groups in the world. Designed to Live is driven by the conviction that everyone, regardless of ability or disability, is entitled to be introduced to Christ and the love He has for them.
Every person is created by God in His image. We are all ‘designed to live’ the life God has planned for us to live, using the gifts He has blessed us with. Just like a fingerprint, every person leaves a unique mark on the world and the people they encounter. God has uniquely designed each of us, having specific skills and talents that can be used to glorify Him.

They are committed to seeing disciples of Jesus made in every country through church planting, evangelism, discipleship, church multiplication movements, and other unique expressions of Christian outreach. GEM believes Europe is strategic and through a movement of prayer and practical ministry, they work to see God change this influential, connected, and unreached landscape.
