Wanda gave her life to the Lord at the age of 13 and never looked back. She attended St. Matthews United Freewill Baptist Church as a young girl but moved to Trinity Temple Church of God in Christ upon meeting her future husband and accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Here she served in many capacities: Choir President, Young Women's Christian Council (YWCC) and Young People's Willing Workers (YPWW) amongst many others. In 1994 Wanda established the Christian Women's League, a ministry designed to empower the women of God. Here Wanda was allowed to showcase her love and devotion for women's ministry. For the past 16 years the Christian Women's League has evolved from a retreat to an annual conference, far exceeding Wanda's expectations. In 1996 the Lord called Eld.
