Yomah T. Barjibo's journey began in West Africa, born in Liberia and raised in the Ivory Coast before immigrating to the United States at the age of fifteen. Today, residing in Altoona, Iowa, she is the devoted mother of five, a cherished sister and friend, and the wife of a man dedicated to his faith. However, Yomah's path to this fulfilling life was forged in the crucible of profound adversity.

Her childhood was indelibly marked by the Liberian Civil War, a conflict that plunged the nation into deep poverty and scarcity. The fundamental necessities of life – food, clean water, shelter, clothing, transportation, education, and healthcare – were often unattainable. This environment of instability and deprivation profoundly shaped her formative years. In this precarious landscape, vulnerability was rampant, and at the tender age of eleven, Yomah experienced the devastating trauma of rape. As a young girl navigating the complexities of forced maturity, she carried unspoken pain, finding no solace in a world that seemed deaf to her suffering. Yet, these very experiences, though harrowing, became an unexpected preparation for a divine calling: to serve women who have endured similar violations and the theft of their innocence.

Yomah's innate desire to help others stemmed from a deep understanding of isolation within a crowd. It was in her encounter with Jesus that she found a listening ear and discovered her true identity. The transformative love of God became the catalyst for healing, enabling her to forgive and release the grip of past traumas that had long held sway over her life. Now, she finds joy in the simple acts of cooking and serving, and in her ongoing spiritual growth. For a significant time, God has placed a compelling vision on her heart: to establish an organization dedicated to the spiritual recovery of women who have suffered the profound wounds of sex trafficking, rape, and abuse. Despite this clear calling, self-doubt and perceived limitations – a lack of formal education, concerns about her speaking abilities, feelings of inadequacy, and anxieties about resources and the initial steps – led her to postpone action. Excuses became a familiar refuge. Yet, the persistent stirring in her heart, God's unwavering focus on His daughters, ultimately compelled Yomah to embrace her purpose. With unwavering faith, she answered the call, trusting that the necessary resources would be divinely provided.
