Juan Ancalle

Juan Ancalle is happily married to Lilian C. Ancalle and they have 6 children (Lilian , Angela R., Daniela, Juan, Miguel, and Ingrid). Juan was born in Bolivia in 1960, received the Lord Jesus as his Savior in 1968, and was baptized in 1976. He graduated as an electrical engineer from the Technical University of Oruro and the La Paz Bible Seminary of Bolivia. 

He was called to the ministry in 1986, serving the Lord Jesus for 23 years as a Pastor. 

After having served as director of Hispanic Ministries at Immanuel since 2005, he was called as Pastor of Hispanic Ministries in March, 2007. Prior to coming to Immanuel, Juan served as Pastor, Montclair Tabernacle Church of God Hispanic Ministry, Dumfries, Virginia (2003–2005), and Senior Pastor, New Jerusalem Christian Evangelical Church, Oruro, Bolivia (1986–1999). 

Juan notes that "clear teaching and preaching of the Word of God is necessary to help Latino believers grow in the Lord: winning the unbelievers in the community, consolidating them in their faith in Jesus, followed by a discipleship process and preparing them to be leaders to extend the Kingdom of God. I believe the church is called to encourage the integration of the Latino community with the rest of the congregation and with the general society."
