Valorie N. Parker
Launches Ministry - Grace, Mercy
and Peace
Bridgeport, Connecticut
---For over a decade, Valorie
Parker has been booking
internationally renowned
motivational speaker, Les
Brown. As CEO of Arise by VNP,
she has assisted him in getting
speaking engagements all over
the world. Now, Parker is
stepping from behind the scenes,
as she picks up the mike
herself, and launches an
enriching and empowering
ministry with her two friends:
Sylvia Dunnavant, and Shirley
Carter.
“When
Les is speaking he says he hears
the voices of the people. Well,
I don’t hear voices, but I feel
the spirits of the people
whenever I am in a room. Over
the years of traveling with Les,
I have been so overwhelmed with
the internal crying out of so
many people, because there are
so many broken people out there
just waiting to be spiritually
healed, “says Parker, who after
19 years of being in a domestic
abusive marriage definitely
understands being spiritually
broken.
Parker, Dunnavant and Carter
will be launching their
empowering ministry called
Grace, Mercy and Peace on
Wednesday, November 5th
at New Vision International
Ministries, in Bridgeport,
Connecticut were Pastor Derek L.
Calhoun is the Senior Pastor.
The event will be a part of
Pastor Calhoun’s Ninth Year
Church Anniversary Celebration.
“Women today are by default
going through a plethora of
known and hidden issues created
by the dysfunctional family
system and the lack of male or
fatherly influence in our
communities. In this myriad of
wounded frontline soldiers
emerges a “D.E.N.” of women with
the fighting spirit of Deborah;
the courage of Esther and the
wisdom and stamina of Naomi.
New Vision International
Ministries welcomes, Grace,
Mercy and Peace to our
platform,” says Pastor Calhoun.

There
is no doubt that these three
women who have developed a close
friendship over the years are
excited about taking some of
their personal life testimonies
to help women across the country
walk in victory.
“The
three of us have been through so
much. Valorie has survived
domestic abuse, Shirley is a two
time breast cancer survivor, and
I have just simply learned how
to survive and celebrate life in
the midst of tragedy. We decided
to come together, so that we can
help all women walk in the
victory that God has given us,”
says Dunnavant.
Grace, Mercy and Peace will
speak at 7:00 PM, on November 5th
at New Vision International
Ministries, 130 Gregory Street,
Bridgeport, Connecticut. For
