Proclaiming the Living Word through Worship Music: ALIVE!

    "Crucified with Christ, we no longer live, but Christ lives in us" Galatians 2:20

Through the blending of the traditional and the contemporary, ALIVE seeks to lead a worship experience that points to the Living Word Himself. Whether they be leading the congregation in singing or sharing encouragement through solos and duets, the members of ALIVE hope that they are invisible so that Christ may be seen and heard.

 
   

Mandy Litzke 

Mandy's gentle and yet powerful desire to honor the Lord is demonstrated as she leads in worship and ministers through vocal music. Mandy and her husband Dave have 10 children - 2 biological and 8 internationally adopted. Their joy of how God can pull a family together through the adoption process has led to the formation of Safe Harbor Ministries which seeks to make Christians aware of how His heart and our hands can make a difference in orphans' lives.

Staci Rumple 

Staci has been singing for as long as she can remember. The Church of the Nazarene has been her home throughout her life. Ms. Rumple is a 1998 graduate of Mount Vernon Nazarene University.
In 2005, Staci was able to release her first CD, titled From The Heart. The work is appropriately named since her desire is to live each day for the Lord who she loves with all her heart.

Internships and Short Term Service

Life Through The Word Ministries constantly seeks to involve people in Kingdom service.  ALIVE carries out this principle by inviting others to be apart of the worship team for short term service. 
 
During the spring and summer of 2007 these individuals have included:
 
  • Amy Slonecker – Her keyboard and vocal skills were a special blessing to us and to the people of  eastern Kentucky and Marysville during her summer break from college.  Amy is a senior at Olivet Nazarene University.
     
  • Jordan Eggleston – The talented drummer enabled ALIVE to connect with the youth during three ministry events in June and July.  Jordan’s plan for the Fall are being built around his being a freshman at Olivet Nazarene University.
 
  • Erica Heeres – A good friend to Staci, Erica’s voice and servant’s heart blended right in with the ministry of music during a Revival in Union City, Indiana.  Her weekly Kingdom service is through the worship team of The House of Prayer, Montpelier, Ohio.
