PASTOR GAOPALELWE SELEKA WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARD


Lady Gao Talks and DIVAS (Divinely Inspired Victorious And Serving Ladies) proudly announce the esteemed accolade bestowed upon Pastor Gaopalelwe Saleka – the international HOPEE Award recipient. Instituted in the United States in 2019 by the venerable Dr. Rosalind Lewis Tompkins, this award celebrates extraordinary individuals dedicated to empowering communities and fostering hope.

The prestigious presentation transpired at the Women of Virtue Conference and Hope Immersion Retreat on Saturday, August 19, where Dr. Tompkins, the founder of the non-profit organisation Mothers in Crisis, personally honoured Pastor Saleka.


Upon receiving this distinguished recognition, Pastor Gaopalelwe expressed her profound sentiments as an African woman: "This award signifies heaven's endorsement of my efforts to kindle hope within communities. It's a divine affirmation of my commitment to uplift and inspire, ultimately breathing hope into the hearts of the downtrodden. It is an unequivocal endorsement, validating my chosen path."


Pastor Gaopalelwe, renowned for her book "7 Steps of Realignment," shared her insights into the essence of purpose: "Discovering one's purpose and living it is the ultimate reward. We don't strive for accolades; we seek fulfilment and the joy of fulfilling our divine calling. Living one's purpose becomes second nature."


She congratulated Lady Saleka of Revival Baptist Church for her well-deserved international HOPEE Award, commending her unwavering commitment to her work. Pastor Gaopalelwe also lauded the resounding success of the Hope Immersion Retreat Workshop and expressed eagerness to collaborate in the Practice of Hopeology.


Dr. Rosalind Lewis Tompkins embarked on her Hope Tour, touching down in South Africa, where she shared her profound insights. As the originator of the term "hopeology," Dr. Tompkins has spearheaded a global movement centred around hope. She proudly identifies as a "hopeologist" and has tirelessly championed hope through humanitarian endeavours spanning Jamaica, Turkey, and numerous African nations.


Dr. Tompkins enthusiastically endorsed Pastor Gaopalelwe's victory, affirming its merit. This prestigious accolade has galvanised the international speaker to elevate her role as a Life and Relationship Coach. She envisions ambitious future projects to disseminate hope across different African regions.


She elaborated on her vision: "This award is an opportunity to expand the Circle of Hope I initiated in 2020. I aim to partner with like-minded individuals to support African families through various initiatives, including feeding the hungry, covering orphaned children's school fees, providing uniforms, and offering startup packages for budding entrepreneurs. I aspire to empower more young girls and women by establishing the Young Girls Academy, focused on imparting vital life skills such as etiquette, deportment, relationship and marriage guidance, and parenting."


Affectionately known as Lady Gao, Pastor Gaopalelwe pledges to continue serving as a beacon of hope on the African continent and beyond its borders. Her unwavering commitment to hope and empowerment inspires all who cross her path.
