After a thriving executive career in mental health, Leslie Wilson Jenkins realized something profound.

Success could not protect what mattered most.

As the mother of two athletic sons, she understood the world they were navigating. And she made a decision many mothers quietly make — but few act upon with such boldness.

She chose prayer.

In 2015, Leslie gathered a few mothers on a simple phone call to pray for their children. No spotlight. No platform. Just faith.

That one act of obedience became Spirit Care Women’s Network.

What began as a small circle has grown into a powerful, nationwide prayer movement that now meets Monday through Friday at 7:15 a.m. ET. Women gather faithfully on Zoom, submitting prayer requests, standing in agreement, and covering not only their children, but their entire families, marriages, finances, health, leaders, and our nation.

Each morning, a designated prayer leader intercedes.

And on Fridays — “Good Fridays” — testimonies are shared.

Over the years, they have witnessed miracles:

Healing.

Job advancements.

Relationships restored.

Financial breakthroughs.

Miracle babies born.

Doors opened.

Hope renewed.

What started as a mother praying for her sons has become an organization of women who pray with power, discipline, and expectancy.

Leslie describes it this way:

SPIRIT Care Women’s Network is a group of women dedicated to faith and family. The mantle over this group is comfort, healing, and deliverance. The mission is to inspire and encourage the hearts of people to live, love, and serve for the goodwill of ALL humanity. We pray and intercede for family, children, finances, and health — with special focus on married, single, separated, and barren women.

This is Woman Rising.

Not always loud.

Not always visible.

But deeply impactful.

In a time where many are anxious about the future, Leslie built a structure of faith. In a culture that often glorifies hustle, she built a rhythm of intercession. In a world searching for safety, she gathered women at the altar.

And that is leadership.

As we close out Black History Month, we salute Leslie Wilson Jenkins — not only for what she built, but for what she protects.

She is a mother and wife who prays.

She is a leader who gathered.

She is a woman who rose.

And because she did, families across this nation rise too.
