DFSG convenes conferences for spiritual renewal and presents models for faithful advocacy around issues of health care access, food insecurity, and emergency response. DFSG promotes justice and equity through the lens of faith, sharing stories of women’s courage, resilience, and creativity. In 2015, the Network established the Spirit of Huldah Awards, an honor presented to women and persons of faith for their outstanding commitment to service in missions, community and ministry. In all of this, the Gospel of love and reconciliation remains the foundation of the network’s mission to connect to women as 21st century global voices for higher ground.
