After a year of strategically taking its message around the country with a hands-on approach to empowering African-American families and communities, the global Financial Freedom Movement dfree® is bringing its national conference back to New Jersey this fall with a four-day event that will fortify the dfree® priorities of healthy living through sound and savvy financial management.

Soaries, Jr., senior pastor, First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens and dfree® founder, thedfree® Homecoming Conference will take place in Somerset, New Jersey, October 25 – 28th. Pastors, community leaders, educators and a cross-section of attendees with a desire to improve their financial lives will achieve heightened levels of personal, spiritual and financial wellness through the effective tools, strategies and concepts of the dfree® program.
“People around the world are benefiting from the dfree® belief that if we manage our lives well, then we will use money strategically to reach our life goals,” says dfree® Founder DeForest B. Soaries, Jr. “dfree® is a process and it begins by the way we think about ourselves, the way we think about our money, and the way we think about and plan for our future.
