Rev Mike Lorence, Secretary

They have lived and served in areas of concern, interest and need in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, Montana and in Illinois. Mike currently serves as secretary on the Board of Directors for Faithful in Christ Ministries.
Mike became a Christian at the age of seventeen and shortly thereafter had the desire to serve and support God's people. Over the years he has participated in various Christian leadership and training programs and has served in numerous capacities within the Church. Although Mike had been raised in a Christian home and attended church as a youth, he didn't experience the power of the holy spirit until one night in August 1971 when he accepted Jesus as his lord and savior and spoke in tongues for the first time. That night changed his life forever. Since then he has spent countless hours both learning the biblical truths about manifesting power from on high as well as teaching others to bring that same power into their own lives.
Mike and Sheila currently live in Round Lake Beach, Illinois and have two children, Keri and Nate, who along with their families stand faithfully together on God's Word. They continue to serve and minister to Christians wherever there is a concern, interest or need.
