The Rev. Dr. Isaac J. Canales, PhD. is the Senior Pastor of the great Mision Ebenezer Family Church, in Carson, CA, a dynamic urban ministry, 3,000 members strong. Dr. Canales received his B.A. in Religion with Highest Honors at Vanguard University/SCC in 1974 and his MDIV at the Divinity School, Harvard University (class of '78). At Fuller Theological Seminary, he earned his PhD. ('93) in New Testament under the great British scholar, Prof. Ralph P. Martin. Dr. Canales rose through the ranks at Fuller, from graduate assistant to the late great George Eldon Ladd, PhD; GA to the great Leon Morris; GA to the Dean of the School of Theology. He then moved to Adjunct, Instructor, Adjunct Professor, then Asst. Professor of New Testament and Director of the Hispanic Ministries Dept. at Fuller Theological Seminary. He served FTS (Fuller Theological Seminar) for twenty years. After twenty years at Fuller he resigned to serve as President of the historical Latin American Bible Institute (LABI), the first Spanish Pentecostal Institute in the Western Hemisphere founded in 1926. He is a mighty exponent of the Gospel, preaching across America cross culturally, and cross denominationally. He is in constant demand as a published author, a gifted communicator and has participated in documentary films produced by the Arts and Entertainment Network, "Mysteries of the Bible Series." He was a popular Promise Keeper speaker for many years during its popularity. But his greatest achievement is at home, married to Ritha Brubaker Canales for thirty one years. They are proud parents of three successful sons: Joshua, David, Jacob and a thrilling extended family. The Mission is Pentecostal by tradition and was founded in 1960 by Rev. Miguel and Lupe Canales, our pastor's parents. "He says, we have had humble beginnings. For close to 50 years we have grown from 15 to over 3,000 people. We enjoy our call to serve as a regional church strategically located in the heart of South Bay, near all the major Southland Freeways. Testimonials from friends and family call us a loving family church where just about everyone feels welcome especially blended families." .....................................................................................................................................................................
