I have fond memories of spending weekends on my grand-father's farm out on Evan's Road where my dad's family grew up. My grandfather had forty acres where he raised a delicious variety of apples and milked cows. Little did I know I would return to the valley to become Pastor of The Lighthouse Church in Wapato. After working at Noel Canning for fourteen years I went full time in the ministry starting in Sunnyside for two years and then to Puyallup for thirteen years. Great to be back in Yakima.Larry Schoonover is a Christian Author, Conference Speaker and Bible Teacher of apostolic concepts and ministry.
