The SheLeads award will be presented to “a woman with exceptional leadership capacities—whose authority, wisdom, and creativity builds up ministries and people to be more effective and strong gospel witnesses.”

The SheAdvocates award will be presented to “a woman with exceptional gifts of advocating—whose courage, resilience, and faithfulness empower others and bring liberation and hope to the vulnerable and oppressed.”

Each of the awards includes a $1,000 grant.
