Co-Founder and Executive Director
Asava has long been dedicated to helping others, a passion that deepened during her over ten years of ministry at one of Arizona’s correctional facilities. During this time, she became deeply concerned with the recurring cycle of women returning to prison after their release. This issue fueled her determination to make a lasting difference in their lives. Motivated by her drive, passion, and commitment to empowering others, Asava established what she refers to as an “arsenal of women of God” to help combat the forces that hold individuals back. Her mission is to equip women from all backgrounds and regions, offering support to those who seek to overcome their struggles and re-enter society as healthy, whole, and empowered individuals.
Co-Founder and Assistant Executive Director
Gwen began working with women in transition in 2016, during which she developed a profound understanding of the critical role positive support plays in the recovery process. She has seen that while recovery is achievable, it requires dedication, discipline, and a strong support system. For Gwen and her co-founder, supporting women in crisis had been a long-held vision. However, after witnessing the devastating impact of addiction and life’s challenges on friends and family members, Gwen felt a deep calling to be a source of guidance and encouragement. Committed to empowering women, she strives to help them regain their self-worth and fulfill their God-given potential.
