Puerta del Cielo!

At Network Conference this past April, we emphasized the need for reaching the 38,000 Hispanics in the Anchorage area, along with raising funds for Alaska Missions.  Last night was a thrilling event, as we were able to present a check to Puerta del Cielo in the amount of $10,000.  The funds were given by churches and individuals in the Alaska Ministry Network.

Pastor Gil and Rosi Nantes are the Pastors of Puerta del Cielo, which has been officially approved by the General Council as a Parent Affiliated Church of Anchorage First Assembly of God.  We are thankful that Pastor Gary and Alice and the board of First Assembly are willing to help out with this church plant.  There is already a body of Hispanic believers numbering around 20 that are gathering weekly for prayer and Bible study.  They are pictured below.

Below is a video of Pastor Bill praying over the new church.  There was a strong sense of the Lord's blessing and excitement for reaching Hispanics for Jesus.  We can't wait to see what God will do!  Thanks to everyone who gave for helping make this happen.  Continue to pray for a harvest of Hispanic believers!
