GIVING. PRAYING. FASTING

During this time Lauretta began to desperately seek after God and
the things of God. She would literally sprawl out before Him and stay
in His Word morning, noon and night. Lauretta was dyslexic and
could not read the Bible chronologically. Often, she would end up
mixing up all her reading and this often left her confused. The way
she was able to read the Bible was to target and write down specific
Scriptures, which spoke particularly to her circumstances. Although
hope for her daughter’s recovery seemed so dismal that it appeared
death was near, Lauretta persistently prayed the Scriptures on
healing over her daughter. Within months, her daughter recovered
fully and was admitted into university in Atlanta. Lauretta relocated
with her.
Lauretta received divine inspiration and all Scriptures she had
previously written on sheets of paper and napkins during her
periods of adversity, are now inserted in fortune cookies to inspire
and encourage people all over the world. Covenant Cookies,
which now operates two manufacturing plants based in Atlanta
Georgia, and California, are available in various delightful flavors
and stunning designs. She has committed her life to advocating
for homeless women and victims of domestic violence. This year,
Lauretta received her Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. Her
philanthropy, advocacy work and business, have earned her several
awards, which include but are not limited to, ‘One Smart Cookie
Award’, ‘Dr. Martin Luther King Award’, and ABC television ‘Person
of the Week’ award. She currently shares her amazing testimony
Lauretta is a living testimony of the goodness, mercy and grace
of God. She shares her amazing testament wherever she goes and
has recently been on Trinity broadcasting Network (TBN) and
Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). Her mission is to inspire
the world – one cookie at a time.
“If God can use a Cookie to change such a broken life as mine, think
of what God can do for you,” says Lauretta.
