MEET LOIS DALEY FROM BOYNTON BEACH, FL
Several years ago, an invitation from Kimberly Hobbs encouraged me to meet with a small group of ladies to worship the Lord. That small group has grown to become Women World Leaders, which now stretches across the globe.
The group sang, shared in the communion of the Word of God, and praised God with such sincere fervor and joy that the meetings became an integral part of my monthly schedule.
The fact that prayer has been a foundational and emphasized aspect of WWL has pulled me in even more. Being on the Prayer Team has been a passion of mine and a blessing to my soul. I get to pray for people from various countries around the world. Also, the ladies cherish each other as they intercede to the heavenly Father any time of the day or night, responding to prayer requests posted in the prayer chat, on the prayer wall, or relayed in the meetings.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted our regular in-person meetings, faithfully, the ministry continues to bless my heart as the foundation of prayer remains. Together, united as WWL, we serve the Lord virtually and through the written page in Voice of Truth and in our many books, of which I have had the privilege to be a contributing author.
MEET ROBERT TARDELL FROM BOYNTON BEACH, FL
On September 2, 2022, I entered a facility seeking healing treatment; what transpired became the greatest life-altering event of my life.
On that day, I met Janet Berrong, a Women World Leaders founding member. At that time, I did not know that meeting would begin my glorious introduction to Jesus. During that session, we both sensed something special in each other. Janet represented to me the gentle, loving kindness of a caring, giving woman who dedicates her life and her love to her Lord and Savior as HIS disciple and vessel to spread HIS Word to all. Subsequently, I learned that she expressed to fellow workers that she wished everyone would be like me, as she referred to my openness and willingness to open my
heart and mind to grow spiritually. Our bond evolved into the most incredible friendship and business partnership based on the desire and intent to do good things for people, with love and kindness. It is always with love and gratitude for all that HE has sacrificed for us. And now, we are serving HIM, and the rewards are immeasurable.
One of the very first things Janet gave me was a copy of Voice of Truth. I was introduced to articles that touched me to my core. I read the most heartfelt stories of Janet, as well as Kimberly Hobbs and so many others.
I am reminded of the two most influential women in my life who provided me with the best qualities I feel I have possessed throughout my life—my grandmother, Daisy, and my mother, Harriette. They are my heroes. The global outreach of Women World Leaders and the dedicated efforts of Kimberly, Julie, Janet, and so many others, who are doing glorious things in HIS name, inspire me just as my beloved heroes do.
Now I look at life through a different lens. Each day is a magnificent opportunity to reach out, listen to others, spread HIS Word, share the love, and fill my own heart with pure joy. I live each day to the fullest, fearlessly trusting in HIM, obedient and committed—eternally. Every day is a beautiful day. I pray daily and often. I ask for HIS guidance to help me become the best messenger I can be.
On June 11, 2023, Janet baptized me at the home of my loving, cherished friends, Kimberly and Kenny Hobbs. My precious and best friend even wore the dress she had been baptized in—how profoundly thoughtful and symbolic of this special woman whom I love so dearly.
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24 NIV) is the Psalm that Janet and I have embraced in gratitude for our blessings.
Thank you, Kimberly, for this gracious offer that provided me with the opportunity to share with others the journey that led me to my salvation.
