Hope Davis is one of the consistent praise and worship Music Ministers in the books. Despite her challenges, she is still Standing. A successful Nigerian who resides in the USA; the KORA Award Nominee whose talents and personality has taken her to Canada, UK, Germany, USA, South Africa and Zaria to be used as an instrument of God to bless lives.
Her command and control of the Stage is fascinating! She had a chat with our correspondent Priscilla, and it was a good time indeed. Enjoy!
Priscilla – Congratulations on clocking 50. Please tell us the secret of your charming looks and vibrancy even @ 50?
Hope Davis – {Smiles} it is the Lord. The bible says ‘the joy of the Lord is your strength.’ Stay on the joy and your strength will not abate.
Priscilla – Hummn! You know, the first time I witnessed your ministration, I was ‘wow-ed’! So much energy and passion, how do you do it? I mean, what’s the longest time frame you’ve ministered on stage?
Hope Davis – {Still smiling} like 5 hours continuous ministration.
Priscilla – Wow! That’s impressive for a 50 year old. I’m impressed. More strength to you Ma’am.
So how do you prepare for a ministration? Do you have a personal voice Coach?
Hope Davis – Of course, as soon as a date for any program is set, a minister begins to prepare consciously and unconsciously. Questions like-Who are the people? What songs do they like? How can I be a blessing? Etc. comes to mind. The Holy Ghost is my coach!

Priscilla – What made you relocate to the US?
Hope Davies – It was just time – In His time he makes all things beautiful.
