Thirty Cents & A Prayer
Thirty Cents & A Prayer
For the healing of domestic violence
Welcome to the official website of Gloria A. Harbin!
Gloria Harbin is a Motivational Speaker and Author of the newly acclaimed novel entitled, "30¢ and a Prayer." This emotional and true testimony proves that God's grace and mercy are sufficient to elevate a person from the ashes of domestic abuse and violence to victory and triumph in the Name of Jesus!
30¢ and a Prayer provides a true account of the violent abuse - physically, verbally and emotionally - Lavonia Harlow endured during her marriage of 2.5 years to her high school sweetheart and first love, Geno.
Lavonia eventually developed the strength and courage to walk away from this turbulent marriage. She had only 30¢ in her purse - and a prayer in her heart - when she decided to leave, but she packed up and moved to Philadelphia to live with her Aunt and Uncle.
Lavonia has never looked back! She has remained in Philadelphia for 36 years and during this time Lavonia has dedicated her entire life to God - and she has been immensely rewarded for her faithfulness!
Lavonia was ordained as President of the Missionary Ministry in 1979. She was ordained as an Elder in 1994. On February 2, 2003, Lavonia was ordained as one of the Associate Pastors. At the Next Generation Fellowship Ministries Conference in 2004, she was ordained as an Overseer.
Her blessings do not stop there. Realizing her love for all of God's people, Lavonia returned to college and graduated with a B.A. in Sociology in 1995 from the University of Pennsylvania. She also holds a B.S. in Business Education from North Georgia Vocational Technical College. Lavonia is also excited about becoming a first-time homeowner in 2007.
What Lavonia is most proud of, however, is the number of souls she has been able to lead to God. Lavonia's consistency and strength through the power of prayer in her life has caused the land that surrounds her on a daily basis to be healed. Lavonia has consecrated herself for many years so that others may be healed, delivered, set free, and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, thus destroying the attacks of the enemy.
Lavonia's testimony serves as a reminder that no matter what we are faced with in life and regardless of how bleak our situation appears........God can and He will deliver you!
