“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” — Psalm 116:15 (KJV)
With hearts filled with sorrow, yet anchored in the promises of God, we extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Bishop Vanuel Charles Little, Jr., Lady Catherine Little, Evangelist Ada Cutliff, Evangelist Jazmin McConnell, the entire Little family, and the church family as we mourn the transition of our beloved Dr. Alice M. Little.
Dr. Alice M. Little was a woman who loved God, loved His people, and faithfully devoted herself to the work of the Kingdom. She served as International President of the International Missionary & Christian Women’s Auxiliary (IMCWA), now known as the International Women’s Ministry Auxiliary of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc., from 2004–2010.
Her service was marked by faith, prayer, spiritual wisdom, strength, and devotion to ministry. Dr. Little was an anointed prayer warrior, deeply committed to intercession and sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. She prayed with conviction, served with humility, and carried a genuine burden for the people of God.
Her influence was felt through her leadership, her prayers, her wisdom, and her unwavering commitment to the work of God. We give thanks for the many lives she touched and for the example of faithfulness she leaves for those who follow.
As we grieve, we do not grieve as those who have no hope. Our hope is in Jesus Christ.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
We trust that Dr. Little’s earthly assignment has been completed, and we thank God for the privilege of witnessing a life dedicated to His service.
To the Little family, may you feel the comforting presence of the Lord surrounding you. May He strengthen you when your hearts are heavy, give you peace through every tear, and grant you grace for each day ahead.
To the church family and the women of the ministry, may we honor Dr. Little by continuing to pray, serve, and stand firmly in the presence of God. May her devotion to the work of the Kingdom inspire us to remain faithful to our own assignments.
We pause to honor her.
We pause to remember her.
We pause to thank God for her.
And we celebrate a life faithfully lived in service to God and His people.
May the peace of God rest upon the Little family. May the strength of the Holy Spirit sustain you, and may the love of God surround you in the days ahead.
Dr. Alice M. Little will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
With deepest love, sympathy, and continued prayers,
Suffragan Bishop Judith O’Savio , President

Destiny Daughterz & Women of Distinction Purpose Statement
The purpose of Destiny Daughterz [DD] & Women of Distinction [WOD] is to provide a platform to guide, nurture, and assist through the word of God in the empowerment of young ladies becoming covenant women of God.
First, repentance needs to take place: There’s a lost connection from seasoned women to the young women is the truth. Seasoned women need to identify with young women by tapping into our younger selves and realize we were once that age. As seasoned women, we made mistakes when we were younger and did not want to be judged or feel ashamed. Now, as seasoned women, we can’t just tell young women to pray about it; nor we cannot just tell them to surrender and give it to God (honestly, some of us seasoned women still struggle in these areas). As seasoned women, we have to educate young women on how to pray and surrender by supporting this with scripture in the word of God.
Young women and people today have discernment: They can see through the fake (actions and words) that are presented to them. They also see how folks act in church and then the difference when we are not; we must be real (authentic) and more innovative when sharing the doctrine. We can’t manipulate how we share the doctrine BUT we, as seasoned women, must be real. Even though it looks like we have it all together, we are still fractured… but we walk in NO condemnation. However, we can identify with the following:
- Being pregnant out of wedlock
- Stealing
- Sleeping around
- Smoking weed
- Drinking
- Low confidence/self esteem
- Mental health
- Fitting in
If we’re being honest, as seasoned women we still carry baggage and are fractured (we’ve just mastered how to cover it up) but we know that God is a healer and a deliverer. Who best to model this for our young women?
Suggestions
- Symposium where young women can ask questions and not be judged. (When we are not operating during the council; we need to be creative to keep the connections to ensure the discipleship (zoom RESET)
- Develop an accountability partnership/mentorship program
- Mother/Daughter relationships are somewhat nonexistent (Mother and Daughter outing) Mentor/Mentee Outings
- Psalms 46:5 “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns” (At times we take on things that we shouldn’t have)
