Wanda Littrel

Wanda says, “God has transformed my life, and has given me a passion to share His Love and His Word. I am a student, teacher and preacher of the Bible. My desire is to see families and individuals healed and set free in the presence of God, and to see all of God’s people grow in relationship with Jesus Christ. I love working with God’s beautiful children, from preschoolers to the wisest gray-hairs. Prayer is a big part of my life. I believe in the healing and deliverance power of God through the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ. I believe it is vital for the Church to believe and operate in the Authority that Jesus declared in Luke 10:19.” She loves to worship, write, speak, teach, and just be with people. She writes the Bible studies that she teaches in her class at church, and she and Steve have put together four devotional books for use in their Church. She feels privileged to have been involved in planning and speaking at four Women’s Conferences. She is active in ministry with the Walk to Emmaus. Wanda has been married to Steve Littrell, the love of her life, for 25 years. They pastor their church together, and live in Madill, OK with their two dogs, Gracie and Goose. They have five grown children together, and 10 beautiful grandchildren. She graduated from Oklahoma Wesleyan University, and has completed Deacon level requirements at Wesley Biblical Seminary. She is an ordained Deacon in the Global Methodist Church.

Raylee Rushing

Raylee is a follower of Jesus who, in the past decade of her life, has begun responding to the love of God by surrendering her life to Him in more intentional ways. Raylee was raised in the church and had a Christian foundation gifted to her early in life through the faithfulness of her mother and grandmother. However, due to hurtful life experiences, she found herself struggling in her teens with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, as well as low self-worth. Despite these struggles, God’s love continued to pursue her through national and international mission experiences, friendships, and the church. At the age of 23, she began to be discipled by other followers of Jesus and challenged to grow in spiritual maturity. Over the years, as she is now 30, she has learned what prioritizing a relationship with the Lord means on a daily basis. She is aware that spiritual maturation is a life-long process, but is grateful to now confidently say she knows peace, stability, and purpose by the grace of God. Raylee has been married for seven years and lives in Noble, Oklahoma with her husband and two cats. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology-Substance Abuse Studies and her Master’s degree in Addictions Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma. She is a Licensed Alcohol and Drug/Mental Health Counselor and has been counseling in and around the Oklahoma City area for the past five years. She provides individual counseling, facilitates addiction-focused groups, and teaches a self-worth class at her current agency. She is passionate about helping people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, and their self-worth. She believes the Lord has led her into this career and she trusts Him to guide and enable her to help others in every case. She strives to remember, daily, that all wisdom, compassion, grace, hope, and strength comes from Him and it is a true gift and privilege to be able to help others.
