David Wasmundt has proven himself in a myriad
of ministry arenas to have exceptionally distinctive and
rare ministry insights. He has a unique ability to address
“existing” and “relevant” concerns that face the church of
today. In addition to drawing from an anointed, Biblically
based foundation, he also draws from his thirty five years
as a senior pastor and counselor, combining candor, common
sense and humor to his subject material. With this
enlightening approach, he is able to demystify and remove
the unnecessary clutter of religious tradition while still
reinforcing the gospel message.
David attended his first year of a four year Bible college
education at seventeen years old, was married at eighteen,
to Georgia (Jorja) Wood his childhood sweetheart; became a
father at twenty and a home missions pastor by his
twenty-second birthday. In 1973 David formed “The Singing Evangelos,” a fulltime gospel singing group. The
“Evangelos” were known for their unique harmony and a wide
range of musical genres they incorporated in their
ministry. The group members were David and his wife Jorja,
five year old daughter Michelle along with David’s brother,
Steve and his wife Shae. The Evangelos ministered to
hundreds of churches across the states and also to various
conferences and crusades. They recorded five albums of
songs that David composed, many of which found their way
into the current worship stream at that time. When it
became apparent that David and Steve's families were to be
blessed with additional family members, David returned to a
stationary ministry and became pastor of a church in
Sandusky, Ohio.
During the twenty two years of ministry in Sandusky, David
and "Jorja" lead a starter church through many
levels of Christian ministry, outreach and influence. For
twenty two years David provided leadership through
preaching, teaching,
personal administration and oversight. As a result the
church evolved into an established congregation of Christian
growth and achievement During this time a Christian School
was initiated, a new church was built on five prime acres of
land, a radio and TV ministry were established; and a fifty
voice youth choir was established and led by David’s brother
Steve and his wife Shae. The choir contributed greatly to
ministry objectives by impacting the local church, as well
as making vital connections with other local churches. The
choir performed in annual Martin Luther King Day observances
at the city high school and gained national prominence by
touring annually through-out the nation.
In 1992, David established himself as a compelling and
insightful Christian author with his first book,
Neo-Phariseeism. In time he began writing weekly columns
for several local newspapers. Finally, David mentored over
a dozen lay ministers, some of whom are now pastors of
successful and growing churches. In 1996, David felt lead to
move south and begin a new phase of his ministry. From
1998-2004, David was senior pastor of Christian Life Center
in Atlanta Georgia. He reestablished and advanced the church
that was fractured by chronic splits and transitional
disarray by identifying systemic problem areas and initiated
strategies to restore a foundation of stability, vision and
new growth. After thirty five years of non-stop ministry
David took a well deserved sabbatical and it was during that time
that he developed Word on Wings Ministries, which has helped
countless spiritually abused believers as well as
transitioning pastors in need of encouragement and counsel.
While currently administering WOW, David is looking for
direction for the next phase of his ministry.
