Devanee Auel

Board Member

Devanee has been working in the local church for thirteen years which has spanned working in discipleship, evangelism, and local and global missions. Most recently, the Lord has led her to a passion for working with women with a history of addiction and trauma. She has witnessed over and over God’s miracles of healing, restoration, redemption, and freedom in lives of women and their families. She is passionate about sharing the love of Jesus Christ and yearns to see more women and families receive freedom leading to a life of wholeness and restoration.

Devanee is currently on staff at Christ Community Church and leads an aftercare group for women who have graduated a local recovery program and is discipling several women in recovery from drugs and alcohol and trauma.

Devanee has been married for 27 years, has 3 children, is a recent empty nester, and is eagerly waiting for the next adventure God has planned where she can give Him glory and advance His Kingdom.

Our guiding principles revolve around five core values: being Spirit-led, obedient to the Word of God, expectant of His abundant blessings, faithful in all endeavors, and unapologetically bold in sharing the message of the Gospel and the restorative power of Christ.

We stand firm in our philosophies.
1) Discipleship First: Our commitment to prioritizing discipleship means we won’t accept any funding that hinders our mission to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that enables women to walk in the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
2) Always Giving Back: We firmly believe Christ empowers us to adopt an abundance mindset. Therefore, we pledge to give back 10% of all contributions we receive.
