Testimonials

"Daniel has lived a truly blessed life and recognizes that he is blessed to be a blessing to others. Through his compassion, generosity, and servant-hearted leadership, he embodies the hands and feet of Jesus, making a meaningful difference in the communities he serves across the United States and Liberia."

"From Grade 7 through Grade 9, Daniel Henderson and I shared an extraordinary journey as classmates at Dujar Junior High School in Danané, Côte d'Ivoire, while living as Liberian refugees far from home. Daniel was exceptionally gifted in Mathematics and consistently distinguished himself through academic excellence, discipline, and determination. What set Daniel apart, however, was not only his academic brilliance but also his leadership. Even as a young student, he possessed a unique ability to inspire, unite, and encourage others. Daniel: The Boy Who Wanted School is more than a memoir—it is a powerful testimony of faith, resilience, leadership, friendship, and the transformative power of education."

"Wherever he goes, whatever he does, whoever he meets, Daniel Henderson makes a difference. Whether serving his adopted country, changing the lives of Liberian children and youth, or enriching the lives of those privileged to know him, he changes things and people for the better. Reading his inspiring life story just might change you!"

"Daniel's story is a powerful reminder that our circumstances do not have to constrain our potential. More importantly, it highlights how our struggles can be transformed into a meaningful mission. His conviction and drive have motivated myself and our firm to support the work of Change for Liberian Children and Youth, and I encourage anyone looking to channel the energy of his journey into their own personal and professional pursuits to read this book."

"From early childhood on, you can see God at work in the life of Daniel Henderson. He got a hold of Daniel's heart as a 5-year-old child and He proved himself faithful through poverty and civil war in Liberia. He watched over him when at 14 he left his family behind and became a refugee in America. He protected him when he joined the Navy and served his new homeland. He blessed him with a wife and children and helped him start a ministry to the poor children in Liberia. Through every stage of Daniel's life, you can see God's hand. So you see, this inspirational story isn't Daniel's, it's God's."
