Israel came to Living Springs Baptist Church in November of 2018 from Kodiak, Alaska. Though born in Mexico, he and his father moved to Alaska for work. After coming to know the Lord he became very diligent in his study of God's Word spending long hours in reading, meditation, and doctrinal studies.

His calling was evident and he took the Pastoral leadership of the Spanish Baptist Church in Kodiak, Alaska, where he pastored for twelve years.

We are very happy that the Lord has led him to this assembly where he ministers to us in word and doctrine.
