Rashard Owens does not merely lead an organization; he is establishing refuge as a living institution—where compassion becomes structure, dignity becomes policy, and restoration becomes measurable. Founder, Chairman & CEO of Spirit of Refuge, Inc., and Presiding Prelate of the Embassy of YHWH, he is an Apostolic Prophet, licensed educator, and executive whose prophetic clarity, strategic governance, and humanitarian leadership move people from crisis into stability, purpose, and opportunity.

Robin Anderson serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Spirit of Refuge, Inc. She shares the organization’s conviction that meaningful change begins by listening to the people it serves, understanding the barriers before them, and developing partnerships and solutions capable of removing those barriers. Her leadership helps keep the work responsive, grounded, and centered on people rather than systems alone.

Shonbré Rankin serves as Secretary of the Board of Directors. She helps steward the governance, records, and communications that allow Spirit of Refuge to do what it was built to do — respond in the emergency, and stay for the restoration. That work reaches individuals and families in crisis across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, and it depends on the kind of behind-the-scenes structure most people never see: the standards, the partnerships, and the documentation that turn compassion into something communities can actually rely on.
