An Invitation From She Leads California :
September 9, 2023
9am - 12pm California State Capitol,
Sacramento, CA
As we have legislated Jesus out of our public life and expelled His Word and moral absolutes from our schools and institutions, we find ourselves broken and in turmoil. On September 9th, the day California became the 31st state in 1850, we invite you to join us at the Capitol State Park in Sacramento.
We will intercede for our state, invite the lordship of Jesus into every sphere of influence (education, media, government, business…) and declare “Jesus Reigns” in our lives and in California. This is not a political rally. This is we, as God's people, looking to Him as our only source of hope and truth that will bring healing, revival and wholeness to California and its people.
We encourage you to invite at least 3 other women to join you and let’s all be a part of the wonder of what God is doing in this day and this hour!
“Then you will call upon me and pray to me, and I will hear you.” Jeremiah 29:12
Location: West side of the Capitol building (located on 10th Street between L and N Street)
Attire: Comfortable clothing and walking shoes What to bring: Water bottle, Bible, hat, sunscreen, lawn chair
Hotel: Hyatt Regency Sacramento

See the Gala 2022 report here.
On September 30th 2022 in Washington DC, She Leads America honored ten "Christian Women Of Distinction in the United States Of America".
They received Congressional Recognition and their names and accomplishments have been entered into the Congressional Record.
This was followed on October 1st by a prayer concert themed around "promoting life from the womb to the tomb and beyond" at the Museum of the Bible.
Presenters included: Dr. Alveda King, Speak For Life; Tina Whittington, Executive Vice President with Students For Life; Broadcaster Mercedes Schlapp; Chaney Mullins Gooley program director at Susan B Anthony pro-life America with Her Plan; Kelly Lester: ProLove And Then There Were None.
Heidi Scheer first joined She Leads Michigan as Mrs. USA after finishing her reign as Mrs. Michigan. We have journeyed with her as she wore that crown for two years during Covid , won the Mrs. Worldwide competition and now Mrs. Universe TCP. We are proud of her!
She is an Autism Health Advocate of 16 years and the owner of a health and wellness company that serves the autism community worldwide. Heidi is a published author, international speaker, and has united autism organizations in the US, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands.
She is the creator of an organic non-GMO energy bar that has raised funds for autism families in the US and Australia, and has co-written and produced an autism film that has been viewed around the world.
The platform-based pageant allowed Scheer to champion her cause: “Treating the Puzzle of Autism.” Her son Gannon was diagnosed with autism just before his fourth birthday, and was non-verbal. Scheer says she was given no hope, and was told by doctors that Gannon “may never speak a sentence, may never have friends, may never be in general education, he may never tell you that he loves you.”
By age 11, after countless therapies and protocols, Gannon no longer qualified for the clinical diagnosis of autism. Last year, Gannon entered Indiana University. Since her son’s diagnosis, Scheer has become an advocate for treatment and recovery. Pageants, she says, are a way for her to share her story of hope.
“So many parents are given no hope. They’re basically given a diagnosis and told to get speech therapy. To me, this pageant is an opportunity to help others. It’s truly a vehicle for me to help others help their children,” she said. “All this training and experience in pageantry, it’s going to serve me now to help others.”
We are excited to welcome She Leads America's new Director of State Development Kimberly Dirmann from Anaheim, California.
Kimberly served as the Director of Foursquare Women International from 2000-2005 with the primary focus of resourcing women in ministry leadership. During this time she also co-hosted a talk show on a Christian radio station.
Kimberly was appointed as the Southwest District Supervisor for the Foursquare denomination and served in this role from May of 2009 until May of 2016. She, along with her district staff, oversaw 180 churches in Arizona, parts of Southern California, Southern Nevada, and Southern Utah.
Currently Kimberly serves as co-pastor of The Rock in Anaheim, California, a church she and her husband Jerry opened in April, 2000.
She has been married to Jerry for 35 years.
They have two grown children, Alexandra
and Jonathan, and six grandchildren.
She will be leading a She Leads America Zoom call for new state leaders on December 1.
On September 30 we launched the “Women on the Hill” Appreciation Breakfast with an amazing group of 120 Christian women in leadership from across America filling a banqueting suite in the Rayburn Office Building on “The Hill”. A complimentary Continental Breakfast was served followed by comments from our special guests including the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, Rev. Dr. Margaret Kibben and Dr. Alveda King.
We are very grateful to Congresswoman Lisa McClain for chairing this event focused on appreciating Christian women of influence, praying for them and listening to everyone’s thoughts and prayer requests. Congresswoman McClain introduced She Leads America’s 10 Christian Women of Distinction for 2022 and presented them with copies of the Congressional Record where their accomplishments were recorded.We recognized Congresswoman McClain and Congresswoman Dr. Virginia Foxx as Legislators of the year. Congresswoman Foxx was very moved and deeply encouraged by the recognition.We had a powerful time of prayer before we concluded and made our way to the Bible Museum for a guided tour and special lunch time meetings.
The Women on the Hill Appreciation Breakfast was sponsored by She Leads America, Faith & Liberty, Speak for Life, National Latina/Latino Commission, Help 4 Kidz Prayer House, National Day of Prayer Task Force, Intercessors for America, Salvation Army, Aglow International, Concerned Women for America, Alabaster House, First Love Ministries Int’l, Capitol Hill Prayer Partners, Stanton Int’l and others.

“Jesus whispered your name in my ear”
Bodie Thoene - 2021 She Leads America Christian Woman of Distinction
These women were honored by the Tennessee State Legislature, She Leads America and She Leads Tennessee because we heard Jesus ask us to embrace, honor and thank them for being humble and faithful servants.
He has seen their sacrifice, tears, hard work, successes and failures - losses and gains, accolades and attacks and through it all - they have remained faithful and true in love with Him, they have brought LIFE AND LIGHT TO OUR NATION AND THE WORLD!
We join Him in honoring you.
