Celebrating 20 yrs in Liberia!!!

“What an Amazing 4 1/2 hrs of Celebration!!” Thank you to all who attended to be a part of this Special Event!! I will always be grateful for this Time Together!!

How can I even begin to put into words what this has meant to me?!! There were so many words of pure gratitude for what God has done in their lives through Provision of Hope! Suddenly all the hours of volunteer work filled my heart to overflowing with absolute joy that God called me to work among the people of this nation! What a privilege! Seeing so many transformed lives was worth it all! So many came from Extreme Poverty to Where they are today! I am so thankful! So thankful!!

Daniel Coleman worked tirelessly to put this all together. Thank you so much! It was well done!

We had our 4 Hope Homes represented. They sang songs and delivered excellent speeches. We gave out awards to all our parents for their outstanding job of parenting. Seriously we have some of Liberia’s best parents in these homes. Our children are so blessed!

We had 25 of our widows out! They came singing and dancing! All wearing Provision of Hope T-Shirts! What a fun time!!

Daniel Coleman’s daughter recited a beautiful poem called ” Hey Black Child” by Useni Eugene Perkins. ” Do you know who you are, who you really are? Do you know you can be what you want to be? If you try to be what you can be. Be what you can be, learn what you must learn, do what you can do and tomorrow your nation will be what you want it to be” This poem has so many powerful words! “Good job Danielle!”

After 4 1/2 hrs we had to shut down the mic. We had one testimony after another! We ended with chicken and rice and soft drinks! What a fantastic time!

Daniel Coleman designed a beautiful banner!
