DeVonté and Diana Harpool, HOPE worldwide Indianapolis Chapter Directors

Meet Daily Point of Light Award honorees DeVonté and Diana Harpool. DeVonté Harpool recalls meeting a pregnant woman while volunteering, saying she’d told him she was looking for a sign that everything would be okay, and that his service answered her call. That uplifting moment sat with the 28-year-old Indianapolis, Indiana, resident because it was then that he recognized there would always be someone out there with needs or wants.

The Daily Point of Light Award celebrates the power of individuals to lead and lend support to causes they care about and honors individuals who act on their power to do good every day, using their hearts, hands, and minds to help strengthen communities and solve persistent problems.

Volunteering with HOPE worldwide Indianapolis for the past five years, DeVonté and his wife, Diana, have connected with thousands across Indianapolis and more recently, boosted their service to address serious needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through volunteerism, DeVonté and Diana are inspiring greater hope to hurting communities by helping children and families in their city.

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
