ONLINE NEWSROOM: Kay Warren

Kay WarrenKay Warren is using her far-reaching influence as a voice for the weak and vulnerable.

In 2002, Warren became, in her words, “seriously disturbed” by the suffering of the millions infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, a story that she chronicles in her book, “Dangerous Surrender: What Happens When You Say Yes to God” (Zondervan 2007).

Through the PEACE Plan, she is now challenging the worldwide Church to take on not just AIDS, but the global giants of spiritual darkness, lack of servant leaders, poverty, disease and ignorance. Warren frequently travels around the globe to encourage HIV positive men, women and vulnerable children, and today she is a powerful advocate on their behalf. In 2004, she began the HIV/AIDS Initiative at Saddleback Church in Southern California and serves as its executive director. In 2005, she was instrumental in presenting Saddleback Church’s first HIV/AIDS conference. The Global Summit on AIDS and the Church is now an annual event. Warren launched the HIV/AIDS Caring Community in 2006. Located at www.HIVandtheChurch.com, the online community offers resources and inspiration for churches involved in HIV/AIDS ministry.
