From LWWO to Faith Family Church:

In 1996 , Mike and Bunny Rhodehamel came to pastor Wilmington Living Word in Wilmington, OH.  In 1998, we became Living Word World Outreach with a focus on reaching the world one person at a time.  Pastor Mike would always say “We are equipping locally to reach globally!” Over the next 8 years we took three trips to India, four trips to Colombia., and two trips to Mexico.  In addition we have had partnerships in Israel, Spain, Latvia, England, Thailand, Africa, China, and the Pacific Islands.  LWWO also forged partnerships locally with Sugartree Ministry Center, Clinton County Women’s Center, Cinton County Homeless Shelter, Leadership Clinton, and Wilmington Christian Academy.  In January 2006, Mike handed the baton of leadership to his son Shane as Mike continued to mentor and assist as Family Life Pastor.  In October of 2008, Pastor Mike became the pastor of Faith Alive Church in Ridgeville, OH. Pastor Shane and Amie have continued to build leadership and solidify the foundation for the future of advancing God’s kingdom in Wilmington and the surrounding areas.
