Kay Warren, a leading evangelical voice in the U.S., is the wife of Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life and pastor of the Saddleback Church in Orange County.

The HIV/AIDS Initiative at Saddleback Church, started by Kay Warren and her husband, is the largest HIV/AIDS ministry in the world.

As a cancer survivor, Kay Warren knows firsthand how a life-threatening diagnosis alters one's daily life, and her own experiences with suffering having motivated her to serve others who are sick. She has volunteered at Mother Teresa's Home for the Dying in India, at a leper colony and AIDS hospice in the Philippines, and with World Vision and International Justice Mission in Thailand and Cambodia. She has addressed many government, church, academic and professional groups, including the Saddleback Civil Forum on AIDS (UNAIDS), and the Ecumenical Pre-Conference of both the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto and the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.
