Pastor Gaspar & Michele Anastasi
Gaspar Anastasi has served as Senior Pastor of Word of Life Church in Freeport, New York for more than 40 years. In 2003, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, Gaspar also established Word Of Life Church in Fort Myers, FL.
Sensing a strong apostolic call on his life, in 1997 Gaspar founded Global Church Fellowship International (GCFI). He serves as Executive Director. GCFI is a fellowship of churches whose purpose is to train, encourage, and support church leaders worldwide. GCFI also imparts a heart for Israel and the Jewish people.
In 1985, he founded Word Of Life Ministries Bible Education Center—now Kairos University. Its purpose is to help train up the Body of Christ as God’s mighty army.
Also in 1983, he founded the New Life Dream Centers Bible College, a restoration care center for men and women. The New Life Dream Centers Bible College have, with the help of Jesus Christ, delivered hundreds of men and women from the bondage of drug and alcohol addiction and other dysfunctional lifestyles.
In more than 40 years of ministry and through the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Anastasi’s have developed a focus for total healing—spirit, soul, body, and relationships. As a result of Word of Life’s unique and effective prayer ministry Stop Hurting Start Healing, many people have been healed of deep emotional scars caused by past hurts and rejection. They can now live lives that are whole and productive.
Together, Gaspar and Michele have pioneered a highly successful marriage counseling ministry. They also conduct marriage conferences as well as other conferences on Spiritual Warfare, Damaged Emotions & Past Hurts, Leadership Development and The Church & Israel.
Gaspar airs a daily radio program in Fort Myers called God Has the Answer. He has written close to a dozen books. He and Michele have been married since 1967 and have five children and four grandchildren.
