Anthony Eckels preaches the Word in Portland, Oregon!

[Anthony and Elizabeth Eckels were baptized and married in the New York City International Church of Christ in the early 1990’s. In 1995 they moved to Orlando, Florida with the dream of the full-time ministry. Since their efforts for the Lord were effective in New York City as well as Orlando, they were asked to serve in the full-time ministry in New Orleans and later in their beloved Orlando. Due partially to the tragedy of September 11, 2001, there was a lack of funds in the congregation and the Eckels were asked to resign. Hurting, they returned to Elizabeth’s home state of North Carolina. After a year of strengthening, they were encouraged to return to New Orleans. Then in 2006, they moved to Portland, where in time the Lord raised them up to be the non-fulltime leaders of the very fruitful East Region. God has blessed the Eckels with two boys, Augustine (6) and Giovanni (1).] KM
