We want to welcome two new leaders to our Leadership Team – Leanne Miller and Heather McDevitt! Though they are each taking on new leadership responsibilities, neither are new to Wives of Faith. Both women have been serving in their local groups for the last couple of years and we are excited to welcome them to their national leadership responsibilities and know they will be a blessing for many more women in the days ahead!
Leanne is our new Local Groups Director. Her position is responsible for all current and new local group leaders. A Navy (Seabee) wife from Oklahoma, she strongly believes that God wrote her love story, bringing the two of them together in Italy while he was stationed there. Dating long distance strengthened their communication skills, preparing them for deployments. She wants to see military spouses discover that Jesus is their only hope and strength for the challenges of military life. Currently living in Ventura County California, she leads a Wives of Faith group of Navy wives and volunteers with her unit’s Family Readiness Group as the Sunshine Bee Coordinator. As the Local Group Director, Leanne wants to equip local leaders to be the hands and feet of Jesus to military wives in their areas and provide a relational “on the ground” outreach to Wives of Faith. To contact Leanne, email her at lmiller@wivesoffaith.org.
Heather is our new Prayer Ministry Director. She is responsible for leading our Prayer Ministry Team and receiving and passing on the prayer requests received from military wives. She has been an Army National Guard wife since April 2004 and she and her husband Ken have one son who will turn six this year. She lives with her family in Middle Tennessee and welcomed her husband back this past year from their second deployment. An active member of the Rutherford County Wives of Faith group, Heather is excited to be leading Wives of Faith’s prayer ministry. “I have a passion for praying for and with other women and a heart for the hurting,” says Heather. “Getting to pray for other women who face a lot of the same things that I do is an honor and a privilege. I have witnessed the Lord at work in my life and in the lives of others through prayer. I believe that encouraging military wives with their needs by praying for them is an honor. I look forward to all that the Lord will continue to accomplish through the prayers of His daughters of Wives of Faith! Romans 12:12 is the verse that I think of the most when praying. It says, ‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.’” To contact Heather, email her at prayer@wivesoffaith.org.
