“This was the first 4Life convention we have attended. We went together with four
leaders in our organization, as well as with our children. The convention exceeded
our expectations. Everything was just spectacular—the workshops, the organization,
the teamwork, and the disco party. We were extremely impressed with the new
Tri-Factor Formula and very grateful to the entire team of scientists in the Research
and Development department. We really enjoyed being able to personally see the
doctors, scientists, and product specialists from 4Life. We went to this convention
as Diamonds, but by the next convention we will be Internationals, at the very least.
We’ll see you in Orlando!”

“This was my very first convention with 4Life. I came away feeling very proud that I
made such a wise choice in becoming part of this company. I was so impressed with
the sincerity and integrity of everyone I met, especially David and Bianca Lisonbee.
We need to make 4Life a known name right here in the U.S. My goal is to ‘wake up

“This was my first convention and it was an extraordinary experience for me and
for my team. It was great to be able to share this time with such a great group of
people. There were many exciting moments. As I saw how we have been able to bless
the children of La Casa Rosada Orphanage, my heart swelled with joy. And it was
wonderful to walk across the stage during the Recognition Gala! The disco party was
great. I danced that night from the beginning all the way to the end. I’ll see you in
