Wanda accepted her ministry calling and was licensed as an Evangelist in 2003 through General Assembly Church of God in Christ. She received ministry training from American Association of Christian Counselors, Center of Religion and Health (Hershey Medical Center), Penn State Kiesinger Health System, and Marilyn Hickey Ministries. As founder of Wanda H. Pritchett Ministries, she believed God used her in supporting the visions of leaders in ecumenical and secular circles. She was a faithful member in the body of Christ.

Under the leadership of Pastor Roland Caldwell, Jr., Wanda was a member and worshipped at The First Baptist Church of Steelton until the Lord called her home.

Wanda was exceptional. By the grace of God, she touched and impacted many lives. She lived her life with her eyes set on Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. Hebrews 12:1-2a
