Pastor Frank & Shaleen Roman
Pastor Roman has a passion to reach those who are lost. With a big vision, and an even bigger heart, he longs to see lives changed. He was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan. At the age of 19 years old, he moved to Chicago to pursue the call of God, attending Master’s Commission and ministering in some of the most dangerous parts of Humbolt Park through outreach.
After he graduated the program, he was asked to be the youth pastor of an up and coming Assemblies of God church, located right in the heart of the city. He accepted and was the youth pastor there for 10 years before God called him to be an associate pastor of a church in the Bay Area of California, where he served there for 5 years.
Pastor Frank moved back to Michigan to be closer to his family, as God was leading him to start a church. He opened a church in the Lansing area in 2012, Word of Life International. Then, in 2016, Frank and his wife Shaleen launched Life Reach, which is a separate non-profit that reaches communities through various outreaches and events. And in 2019, they opened Word of Life Grand Ledge in Grand Ledge, Michigan.
Shaleen Roman is a graduate of Texas Bible Institute and obtained her Bachelors in Communication through Siena Heights University. She started hosting the "She6.12 show" in 2025, with the goal of reaching women outside of the 4 walls of the church
With a big vision, and an even bigger heart, they long to see the lost saved. They work tirelessly to reach people through various outlets. They host a podcast show "The e6.12 show" as well as spread the gospel through the "Integrity est." clothing line.
