about obstacomer

ObstaComer® initiatives aim to raise funds to educate Zambian orphans, marginalized children and youth in partnership with a Child’s Promise International (CPI). I invite you to visit https://www.achildspromiseint.org/ to learn more about CPI.

An “ObstaComer” is a person who has had to overcome many obstacles in life. I coined the word ObstaComer® on October 24, 2016, inspired by the song “Overcomer” by Christian singer Mandisa. I combined the words obstacle and overcomer to form the word obstacomer. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines overcomer as a person who succeeds in dealing with or gaining control of some problem or difficulty. An obstacle is defined as something that makes it difficult to do something. Throughout my life I have met and been inspired by a myriad of obtacomers: men and women, boys and girls, who continue to persevere through life’s struggles.
