The Global Spirit of Huldah Award honors women and persons of faith for their leadership and dedication to impacting the lives of others for a more just, equitable, and flourishing world. The Award recognizes excellence and service in the fields of public education, global missions, health care, pastoral service, social justice, and theological education. Since 2015, Daughters of Faith Network and Study Group has presented the award biennially at the organization's "Revive" regional conference. To date there have been seven recipients. As the Network celebrates 10 years of ministry collaboration in the U.S. and abroad, we are proud to honor persons of faith in Canada, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom.
