Dear Pastor,

My name is Gaspar Anastasi. I am Senior Pastor of Word of Life Ministries for over 25 years. God has blessed us in many ways over the years. We have, (through His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit) planted churches in Africa, the Caribbean and several inner cities in the North East United States and have witnessed God radically changing many lives. Two years ago we established our World Headquarters in Ft Myers Florida and I am currently Senior Pastor over the Florida congregation of approximately 4oo members and Bishop over the WOLM New York church of 800 members as well. I have authored many books and counseling booklets and my wife Michele and myself have conducted marriage conferences throughout the country. I am sure you have found God to be faithful in your life as well. These are truly exciting days to be laborers in God’s vineyard!

I am writing this letter to inform you that I have taken the position as Pastoral overseer and spiritual covering to John Jacobs and the Next generation Power Force. I met John 23 years ago when he ministered at our NY church and in the Nassau Coliseum to large crowds. Since then I have watched God use him on the front lines to touch the lives of many youths and people of all ages.

A year ago John moved from Akron Ohio and made Word of Life Church in Ft Myers, Fl. his home base and has committed himself to stay accountable to me as his spiritual overseer. I talked to his Pastor from Ohio, Mike Guarnieri of the Father’s House, A/G who assured me that John went to great lengths to stay submitted to his spiritual authority. He communicated on a weekly basis and faithfully attended church while home. He added that John lived his life above reproach. John is continuing with the same level of commitment here. I am actively involved in his life; talking with him by phone 2-3 times a week and speaking into his life on a regular basis. During a recent crusade week at our church there was a tremendous crowd and harvest of souls.

John has been a trailblazer for God for over 25 years and is an extremely public figure- featured on CNN News, People Magazine and “Walker, Texas Ranger.” Chuck Norris came forward to accept Jesus at a crusade led by John. This is a new season, with fresh anointing and an even deeper level of hunger to accomplish his destiny. John founded the original strength team ministries and is now taking it to the next level as “John Jacobs’ Next Generation Power Force.” If you have any questions about John’s life please feel free to call my office. He is striving to be a man of God in every area. I truly believe that if you want to experience church growth, a huge harvest of souls and energize your congregation spiritually I recommend John Jacobs and the Next Generation Power Force. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

In His Grace & Service,
Gaspar Anastasi
Senior Pastor,
