The Forest

Born and raised in the Gainesville area of north-central Florida, Pastor Earl's call to ministry in 1993 proved to be a significant marker in his life. One morning, while praying on his way to work in Atlanta, Georgia, he experienced a vision. Suddenly, the windshield of his truck displayed a gathering of thousands of people, and he saw himself standing before them preaching. This confirmed God's call to ministry on his life. Since answering the call, Pastor Earl has worked in nearly every facet of ministry: children, youth, young adults. In 2004, he and his wife, Marci, launched Anchor Faith Church, in St. Augustine, Florida, where they continue to serve as senior pastors. Both are alumni of Rhema Bible Training College, having graduated in 2000. Pastor Earl presently serves as Regional Director for Rhema Ministerial Association International. He loves living in St. Augustine, Florida and spending quality time with his wife, children and grandchildren. @earlglisson & fb.com/earlwglisson
