The KLRU support of the ‘honor’ of the women and girl leaders of the world is like a stepping stone ahead towards future role model women. As the goddess’ of the universe and the women as mothers too who give birth to man, we need the honor of encouragement and support to keep the world flowing! I ask God to give these women the strength and endurance to continue to lead His world.
