Kim Orlemann grew up in Southeastern Ohio and began serving at a young age. She was a member of the School for Youth in Mission as a teenager beginning her dedication to serving the underserved. She moved to Cincinnati and began a career in education as a teacher and a school counselor, serving in her local church with youth and leading small groups. After 30 years she ventured into her own business in Amelia and Withamsville, Ohio and began serving with Jim and Letha Turner as part of the Search and Rescue team and with the Lord’s Gym homeless ministry. Shortly thereafter God clearly called her out of her business to invest her time fully in beginning a local ministry, Lightshine, which serves the Batavia, Ohio area. Shortly thereafter, as an overflow of her street ministry she began working at Weightless Anchor, a hospitality home sponsored by bloc Ministry, then moved to working with women in recovery at the Redeemed Home counseling, mentoring, and serving the residents there. She was the manager of one of the homes prior to leaving and focusing on developing Lightshine and starting a new food pantry at Makers Church in Anderson Township. These efforts utilize her love for the Lord, expertise in trauma and addiction and a desire to help those caught up in Homelessness, poverty and addiction. She has been instrumental in setting up programs for women both locally and in Arizona. She is excited to see where God will lead in the future! Kim is married to Duff Orlemann and has three adult sons.
