Leadership Team's Bios

Beth Reinwald, Founder & CEO

Along with being CEO of Flourish Ministries, Beth is Registered Nurse for Saint Francis Hospice. She moved to Tulsa to attend Victory Bible College and is a graduate of their Practical Ministries and Missions program. After two years of leading a home church, Beth now attends Church on the Move with her husband, Kevin. God used three friends to confirm His calling for Beth--to start a home to help the young women in this community.

Flourish became incorporated in December 2013. God has used Beth in nursing for over 20 years, in management positions, as a youth leader for inner city youth, and as a God-Mom to one of her youth girls who lived with her. She's done mission work in India, Turkey, Egypt, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti.

Beth is passionate about helping girls thrive and flourish! She has always had a heart to mother, even when she was not yet a mother herself. As a youth leader, she identified that many young women simply cannot make it on their own when they are missing critical supports like family, basic necessities, and a relationship with God and His church.

When kids are 18 and aging out of foster care or in other tough circumstances, they are not "grown-up." Young adults still need caring adults to help them navigate adulthood. Flourish Ministries aims to fill in the missing gaps. By equipping these young women with support systems, they become free to pursue healing, education, and to become positive contributors to their communities.

If young woman are not empowered during the ages of 18-25, they are vulnerable to wrong relationships, human trafficking, and homelessness.

Beth is passionate about raising up young daughters who are whole and healthy who can serve God and others.

Julie has been working in the field of social work since 1999. Her career has given her the opportunity to work with people at all ages and stages of life.

Rhonda McDaniel, Past President and current part-time Program Developer

Rhonda works part-time for Flourish Homes. She has an MSW from the University of Oklahoma and BSW from Oral Roberts University. Rhonda attends church at Cross Point in Sand Springs. Rhonda has been a grants manager, volunteer coordinator, and was a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Working as a Child Welfare Investigations Specialist and Emergency Foster Care Case Manager drew her heart toward helping kids that are aging out of the system. She was devastated when she heard that case workers had to take 18-year olds--when they aged out without being adopted--to the homeless shelter.

When Beth told her of the Flourish Ministries vision, her heart leapt, and she is ecstatic to be part of what God is doing. She believes that God is a father to the fatherless, and that Flourish is a ministry that will lift Him up.

Candice Wilhite

Candice graduated from Muskogee High School in 1987. She has worked in finance and collections for over 30 years. She wanted a big family and to help kids. In 1998 attending church, a church member that worked for DHS offered a workshop encouraging the church to open their homes to foster care. Candice was a therapeutic foster mom from 1998-2009, raising three foster girls from the time they were 13 and 14 to adulthood. She did all this while raising five of her own biological children.

With all of her children grown, Candice started to feel the calling to get involved again with helping young girls. After numerous prayers for wisdom, guidance, and to find purpose she saw a post that Flourish Homes needed a resident advisor staff. Immediately, she knew that was God’s plan and purpose for her life: to love and give guidance to these young ladies trying to find their purpose and way in this world.

Candice attends Church on the Move and enjoys kayaking, hiking, camping, vintage markets, and playing with her grandchildren.

Elisha Youngman

Elisha graduated from Eastern College of Health Vocations in 2009, where she specialized as a Medical Assistant. In 1999, her oldest brother had a massive heart attack and passed away. I was 16 at the time and it impacted my life in a major way. I lost my way for a while. As I got into my late 20’s I had a burden for the younger generation of women. I had a desire to help them see their value and worth, to know they are capable of more than they could imagine. I wanted to help them know Jesus and His love and will for their lives in a new way. To help them see they can overcome their past and any obstacles they may be facing. To help them see they have people that truly love them and are in their corner. She became a resident advisor in 2022 to be in Blossom’s corner!

She attends church at Church on the Move in Broken Arrow. In her free time Elisha enjoys the farmer’s market, being outside, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family.
