Today, we joyfully present the Women of Wisdom Award to Sister Wanda Stumbo, a woman whose life radiates the grace, strength, and wisdom of a true Apostolic servant of God. Her story is one of faith in action, spiritual depth, and a heart fully surrendered to the call of the Lord.Like the fine china she collects, her life is beautiful, valuable, and marked by care and purpose. She is gentle, but strong. Humble, yet unwavering. Her influence, though often quiet, has reached across generations and continents.

Her journey began in Medora, Indiana, where she faithfully served in her local assembly. As the Ladies Director in her home church, she was a spiritual anchor to many women. Her heart for children led her to start a preschool in her community, shaping young minds and hearts from an early age.

She pursued further preparation by attending Apostolic Bible College in Memphis, Tennessee, grounding herself in the Word and preparing for the road ahead. That road would lead her to serve as the Indiana District Women’s Esprit President, where she poured into women’s ministries statewide with grace and excellence.

Then, with 10-year-old Jordan, a newborn Luke, and nothing but complete trust in God, she answered the call to the mission field of Russia building the Kingdom in a foreign land, led by faith and fueled by love.

Even now, Sister Wanda continues to serve. She currently teaches in a multicultural private school connected to the U.S. Embassy in Russia, investing in young lives with the same wisdom and care that has marked her entire journey.

She is the loving mother of Jordan and Luke, and adores Lindsey and Jaden as her daughters-in-love. Her heart is most full when she is “Nonna” to Harrison, Helena, Henderson, and soon, Hugo. Her grandchildren are the joy of her life—and the recipients of a rich spiritual inheritance.

Sister Wanda is a faithful student of the Word, and her wisdom comes not just from years of service, but from a life deeply rooted in Scripture and prayer. She has lived her faith with quiet strength, dignity, and unwavering devotion.

And perhaps the highest praise we can give is this: “I feel like I’ve known her my whole life.”

Because that’s who Sister Wanda is—the kind of woman whose presence feels like home. She has loved, led, and lived in such a way that her impact is felt deeply and personally by everyone she touches.

With heartfelt admiration and deep gratitude, we honor Sister Wanda Stumbo with the Women of Wisdom Award—a true Apostolic treasure and a living legacy of God’s grace.
