Being the Change Awards
You were never called to play small.
​
The Being the Change Awards aren't just about recognition - they're about rising up and boldly declaring the work of God through your nonprofit, church, or ministry. When you step into this spotlight, you're not chasing applause - you're shining His light.
​
This is your moment to testify to the lives transformed, the hope restored, and the chains broken in Jesus' name.
​
Let your story ignite faith in others. Let your mission move mountains.
​
Don't sit this one out.
Join the movement.
Glorify God.
Be the change.
