Resound Missions Base

Orlando, Florida

Leah Ramirez, along with her husband, Larry, serves as the Founder/Director of Resound Missions Base in Orlando, Florida. Resound Missions Base consists of Resound School of Ministry, a full-time ministry training school, Resound Church, which she Co-Pastors with Larry, and Resound House of Prayer. At the heart of the vision is the House of Prayer which is a 24 hour a day ministry of worship and intercession. The staff of musicians, intercessors, and worship leaders are “intercessory missionaries” raising support to enable them to serve full-time in the House of Prayer.

After a dramatic conversion, Leah, driven by a passion for winning the lost, was immediately launched into ministry as an intern for a large church in Orlando. Leah has served on the Pastoral staff of two large and growing churches over the last 12 years as well as the staff of a full-time ministry school. Although Resound was officially birthed in August of 2007, the dream to affect Orlando and the world as a Missions Base has been increasing over a ten year period fueled by a passion to teach people the necessity of truly knowing God intimately “by spending ridiculous amounts of time with Him,” as well as preparing a generation for the coming of the Lord.

Larry Ramirez, along with his wife, Leah, serves as the Founder/ Director of Resound Missions Base in Orlando, Florida. In its second full year of operation, it consists of Resound School of Ministry, a full-time ministry training school, and Resound Church which Larry Co-Pastors with Leah. At the heart of the vision is the House of Prayer which is a 24 hour a day ministry of worship and intercession. The staff of musicians, intercessors, and worship leaders are “intercessory missionaries” raising support to enable them to serve full-time in the House of Prayer.

After living a “wild” life apart from God, Larry dramatically encountered Him and gave his life to the Lord at age 21. The direction of his life took a 180 degree turn as he went to a full-time ministry school in Texas. Upon graduation, he served on the staff of that school and the Pastoral staff of the church for the next several years. Larry, known as a man of passion and boldness, is driven with a determination to know God intimately, to see the lost saved, to see the sick healed, and to see “signs and wonders” in operation on a daily basis.

Marcia Thorsell serves on the staff of Resound Missions Base with 30 years of ministry experience. She has served on the staff of several churches in the role of Minister of Music, bringing a variety of musical expertise and experience to the House of Prayer and the implementation and training of worship teams throughout the Missions Base.

She has served on the Pastoral staff of a large and growing church in Orlando for the past twelve years overseeing dozens of ministries, outreaches, music, creative arts, as well as much in the administrative field. These experiences, as well as her passion for teaching the Word of God, make her an asset to the foundation of Resound.

Raised in the church, she accepted Jesus as a little child, but endured her share of pain, unhappiness, and rebellion resulting in a search for a “real” relationship with God. The phrase “there’s gotta be more” became the driving force in her pursuit of God and remains so today.
