Welcome, Wanda Swan!
Wanda Swan studied at Liberty University with a concentration in Youth Pastoral Ministries. She went on to lead a vibrant youth group at Liberty Covenant Church in Micaville, NC under Pastor Frank Wyatt. She was instrumental in founding the coalition of youth ministers in Yancey County NC; a group that used their combined resources to reach the youth of Yancey and Mitchell Counties through many corporate events such as a walkthrough Live Nativity on the square, Banana-rama, a youth retreat/outreach, Friday Night Youth Thang with hotdogs, loud Christian music with lively worship and guest speakers, March for Jesus, the 30 hour famine and many other outreaches. She served for 5 years as member of Epiphany Ministries, a prison ministry outreach in NC that went into the medium and maximum security prisons to present the Gospel through skits, speakers, biblical teachings, and mentorship. She is the mother of 5 adult children, grandmother of 5, and wife of Jeff Swan for 30 years.
