The Voices of Hope Recovery
Choir was founded on September 11, 1999 in Charlotte,
NC by Michael Harris, Steve Humphrey and Sylvester
Pankey. We are a group of RECOVERING
addicts and alcoholics that have been led to carry
the message of hope to others that may be dealing
with addiction. Our ministry is one of spirituality,
outreach and education. Our music is original
and easy to identify with. God not only delivered
us from active addiction and gave us this ministry,
but He gave us the tools to get the job done. All
of our music is written, arranged and produced
by members of the choir. Addiction covers
more than just drugs. Our message can be
applied to "anything" that causes problems
in your life. There is NOTHING too big
or too hard for God to handle.
