The people who are a part of the Adopt a Block program meet on the Church Property at 10:30am on the 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th Saturday of the month. We go to a part of town that we have “adopted” with our Adopt a Block truck and build relationship with the people in that area. The Adopt a Block volunteers for the two hours we are there share the Good News, as well as the Love of Jesus by doing  puppet shows for the children, handing out food and ices, face painting. If there is a person in need, we will mow their lawn or help them with yard work. The Adopt a Block program was created out of a strong desire to show the love and kindness of our Lord. Please come be a part of this wonderful ministry and let someone read the Bible by looking at your life.

Care Groups are the heart of Word of Life Church, out of which the Body of Christ here is nurtured, trained and leadership is raised up. Care Groups are usually comprised of 8 to 12 members each, who meet weekly in a host home. Each group has a leader, trainee leader, host, resource coordinator, prayer coordinator and administrator. It is where individual members are nurtured and cared for and neighborhoods are impacted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Once a month Care Group members gather to reach out and evangelize to the local neighborhoods.
Care Groups are also a place where spiritual gifts can be practiced and perfected in a safe, encouraging atmosphere and where we get to know each other.

Basically, Care Groups are about relationship. It is through healthy relationships that the Church will reach a higher level of maturity because strong relationships become a sanctuary where God can rest His glory.

Word Of Life also offers Marriage Care Groups for couples that want to strengthen their marriages, Teen Care Group, Young Adults Care Group and “specialty” groups like 3S (Slim, Satisfied and Successful), Mom’s Book club, Crown Financial Management, Men’s Marketplace Bible study, New Life Centers Family group, and more.

If you would like to join a Care Group or find out more information about them, feel free to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 239-274-8881 ext 223, ask for Annette Scoca

End Time Amy Cadets' purpose is to strengthen the children’s relationships with God, with their parents, with other children and with their leaders.

A Typical Sunday morning for the children begins with an “opening ceremony” and then the children disperse in their small groups, led by their own adult or teen leader. The groups participate at up to five different “Discovery Centers” in a rhythm of approx. 20 minutes each. Some of the “Discovery Centers” are: Music & Memory, Snack-It, Project with a Purpose, Surprise Station, Games, all of which center around the teaching of the day. In conclusion, the children share their weekly experiences with each other and write down their thoughts in their personal journals. This program provides versatility, movement, friendship, growth and fun!

Every summer, Word Of Life Church and End Time Army Cadets Children’s Ministry, provide an exciting, quality Summer Day Camp for the children. During the eight weeks, the children grow closer to the Lord through the rich program we offer. Daily activities include: Praise and Worship time, Bible lesson, indoors games, Art & Crafts, singing and trips. Our trips take us to: Sunsplash, Lakes Park, Roller Skating, Ice Skating, Calusa Nature Center, Imaginarium, Naples Zoo, Mini golf, Bowling, Nursing Homes (for arts & crafts and singing), movies, the beach, shell factory etc.

Our experienced staff consists of full time ministry leaders of Word Of Life who have long time experience working with children be it as school teachers or in Children’s Ministry. Our volunteers are selected from our congregation and are all screened with a criminal background check.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you would like prayer.

These present days are difficult ones for kids and teens. The “accepted” standards go against all it means to be Christian and the youth are the most affected. Our youth group offers a place for young people to be strengthened, encouraged, have fun and develop friendships with those who share their beliefs. It’s a place for real kids, with real problems, looking for real answers. If you are between ages 12-17, then check us out!

This team of people goes out on Thursdays from 9am until 11:30am. The team goes to local convenience stores that have allowed us the use of their property. On these teams,  there are people who wash cars, some who hold signs, and others who share the Good News with people as they have their cars washed or pump their gas. In the time between cars being washed, we will help be a blessing to the management of the store by cleaning the parking lot and gas pumps. We have seen hundreds come to the Lord through this ministry. It is amazing what the Lord can do in the few minutes it takes for someone to have their car washed. Come and witness this for yourselves.

If you need your car washed, or if you need prayer.. make sure to call us and find out which location the team is at this Wednesday.

If you would like to read more about Apostle Gaspar, below is a more detailed biography:


Gaspar Anastasi, Bishop of Word of Life Ministries began this ministry over 32 years ago. Many churches have been planted worldwide under the banner of Word of Life. In 1997 he founded Global Church Fellowship International, a network of churches to train, encourage and support church leaders, particularly in third world countries and inner cities. Twenty four years ago, Gaspar started an accredited Bible College that even today educates and equips many students in their pursuit of religious studies. In 2003, Pastor Gaspar & his wife Michele relocated the headquarters for Word of Life Ministries from Freeport, New York to Fort Myers, Florida.


In 1983 Pastor Gaspar founded the New Life Dream Centers, a rehabilitation program for drug and alcohol abusers. Over the past 26 years, this faith-based program has seen thousands of men and women set free from addictions and other dysfunctional lifestyles. Program graduates have a 90% success rate and every woman who had children removed by the courts has had them restored. Judges have even offered this program as an alternative to incarceration. In fulfilling its mission to serve the community, the NLDC doesn’t turn anyone away. People who were once a burden to society and their families are now successful and functional parents, employees and citizens. Many lives, families and communities have truly been blessed by this miraculous program.


Pastor Gaspar and Michele also address the needs of their community through the many conferences held at Word of Life. These conferences are free of charge and deal with real life issues such as marriage, children, finances, women’s concerns and even emotional and physical healing. Individual, marital, family and prayer counseling (a unique and effective ministry that heals deep inner wounds) are also offered to the members of the community free of charge. Food is available to anyone in need, and is distributed to the poorer communities through our weekly food mobile.


Every Saturday Pastor Gaspar invites anyone in the community who needs physical healing to come to the “Healing Rooms” where they will be prayed for. Other ministries that help fulfill our vision to serve our community are the “Adopt-a-Block” and “Adopt-a-Nursing Home” programs. These programs connect volunteers in the church with their neighbors and the often-forgotten elderly and infirmed.

Pastor Gaspar airs a weekly television and radio program called “God Has the Answer.” He has written close to a dozen books as well as many booklets and teaching articles. The Anastasi’s have been married 42 years and have five children and four precious grandchildren.

History Makers School of Ministry is designed to train and raise spirit filled leaders for this generation to do just as its name implies - to be God's history makers. God desires to pour Himself out upon this earth as never before in preparation for Jesus' soon return. He is looking for totally sold out, committed people to change this world just as the disciples did 2,000 years ago. To do this the child of God needs to be trained in their spiritual maturity through opportunities to spiritually grow, experience ministry first hand with "hands on" training as well as practical job experience. If you desire to be a part of changing this world and being a part of God's "history making" upon this earth and making a difference, than History Makers School of Ministry is for you.

History Makers School of Ministry  offers opportunities for God’s people to be "discipled" through biblical training courses and ministry experience in the “local church”, inner city and worldwide mission outreaches, “hands on” programs and Church Planting. We invite you to become fellow History Makers together with us in

The New Life Dream Center exists to help men and women whose lives have been ruined and destroyed emotionally, physically and relationally through chemical addictions, dependencies,  and other difficulties.  The New Life Dream Centers allow men and women to break free and experience total healing in their spirit, soul and body through the power of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Forget the former things: do not dwell on the past.  See, I am doing a new thing! 
Now it springs up: do you not perceive it? 
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.  
-Isaiah 43: 18,19

The Encounter Supernatural School of Ministry is a two year school that has a mandate from Heaven to train up and equip young believers to be true disciples of Jesus Christ.  The school is for those who have a desire to live holy lives filled with love and passion for our King and Savior Jesus Christ; with hearts burning to be used to see His plans and purposes accomplished in the earth, no matter the cost.

The school is not for those seeking deliverance from drugs, alcohol or any other dysfunctional lifestyle; but rather for those who are already living in personal freedom from the world and are ready to step into the supernatural calling the Lord has placed in their hearts.

Creating a safe environment where the gifts of the Spirit can be identified, activated and nurtured, along with establishing true Christ like character and defining and passionately pursuing the call of God on one's life are essential in order to build up the local body of Christ and ultimately, disciple nations.

Young adults from the ages of 18-25 are invited every Wednesday as we gather in Suite A to seek the face of God and boldly enter his presence through radical praise and worship.  Healings, outpourings of God’s presence, miracles, signs and wonders and revolutionary messages on the Kingdom of Heaven are getting more and more common in these services as we lay aside all our agendas and go after God, afresh and a new each week.

There is a major emphasis on re-presenting Jesus Christ in our colleges, universities and the marketplace through praying for the sick and ministering by the power of the Spirit of God.

The young adults are also determined to awake this generation to the love, power and grace in Jesus Christ and have laid down their lives to see the Kingdom of Heaven advanced in the world.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you would like prayer.
