We see this as a great opportunity to honor senior pastors and directors

brokenhearted, deliver good news to the poor, and proclaim jubilee in
the earth. For we know that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers
are few!

We look forward to reading about your nominee and celebrating their
leadership and excitement for ministry.
Best,
Rev. Amy
