God called Pastor Mike Hooven and his family to the Cloverdale Church of God in 2015. It didn’t take them long to discover that the neighborhood and community were in dramatic shift and change. Pastor Mike began volunteering 1-day-a-week at the local elementary school, serving children and their families, and learning more than he could have ever imagined.

In the midst of this God planted a desire deep in Pastor Mike’s heart, “What if we could help start a Spanish-speaking ministry right here in our neighborhood? What if it were right here in the Cloverdale Church?”

God did it! Today Pastor Enrique and 1st Lady Maria are planting a brand-new, Spanish-speaking congregation – La Iglesia de Dios IMPACTO – INSIDE the existing building of the Cloverdale Church of God!!  Cloverdale is covering the building expenses, Pastor Enrique and Maria are both working full-time jobs, and God is beginning a new thing before their very eyes.

“Could God be calling you into a new partnership to reach new people, too?”
