Larry Schoonover
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. He serves as Senior Pastor of New Life Pentecostal Church of Puyallup, Washington and also of The Lighthouse Church of Wapato, WA. His ministry has taken him across America and abroad to several Nations such as Singapore, China, Japan, England, Nicaragua, Ukraine, Jordan and Israel.

This was the question the apostle Paul asked to a group of believers whom he came across in the countryside. This was a very valid question. Some believers have thought they automatically receive the Holy Spirit baptism upon the confession of their faith in Christ. They have become faithful as followers of Christ with prayer and study of God's word with a genuine desire for the things of God.
