We are now in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. My wife, Mother Irene M. Daniels, who served alongside with me as Episcopal Supervisor of the 14th Episcopal District, AME Church, in West Africa from 2004 to 2012. During our tenure, we worked tirelessly to spread the Gospel. She worked relentlessly to developed educational opportunities, scholarships for women and children especially the girl child.
She established entrepreneurial training for women to develop their own businesses. She created micro-finance for women to empower them for leadership roles both in the church and their communities.
We paid a special Tribute to our Partnerships with the Bensons in Lagos, Nigeria. We appreciated the support of partners like Sister Chief Dr. Opal Mason Benson and her late husband, Honorable Chief Theophileus Owolabi Shobowale Benson. Their contributions were instrumental in the success of our mission work in the 14th Episcopal District.
Our visit includes visiting the iconic lady who assisted us from 2004 to 2012. Our visit with Sister Chief Dr. Opal Mason Benson, a remarkable woman who turned 90-year-young this year was wonderful.
She is a strong generous leader who played a significant role in our ministry. We are grateful for her devotion, dedication, and commitment to empowering women in Nigeria, Liberia and throughout Africa.
The visit in the home of Chief Dr. Opal Mason Benson was one of the highlights of our trip to Nigeria. She and her daughter, Sister Precious Benson had an elaborate delicious dinner for us in their Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria’ home.
Here are a few photos from our visit with her.
Bishop David R. Daniels Jr.
