Pastor Scott Naill | First Baptist Bible Church, Glendale AZ

It is with great excitement that we introduce to you Bro. Johnathan and Erica Illsley and family, our new church planters to Phoenix, Arizona. I have had the privilege of working alongside Bro. Johnathan and Erica as we endeavored to plant a church in the North Phoenix area.
Their entire family was extremely helpful in setting up, tearing down, greeting folks, and taking part in all aspects of the services. Bro. Johnathan proved invaluable in filling the pulpit and taking charge of services in my absences. The Illsely family is well worth your prayers and support as they begin this new chapter in their lives. We are excited to see what the Lord does with Hope Baptist Church! Thank you for your consideration for support.

Pastor Emeritus Terry Randolph | Cornerstone Baptist Church, Phoenix AZ

I have personally known Bro. Illsley nearly all his life, as he was only four years old when he began attending Cornerstone Baptist Church with his family. His parents and grandparents are still very active members to this day. After faithfully attending and serving at Cornerstone in various ministries, God eventually called Johnathan to go to Heartland Baptist Bible College. I am very excited for this young man and his dear family, as I have witnessed God’s preparation for such a time as this. Johnathan is a faithful man of God, who has excitement and a certainty of God’s direction and call on his life.
I would highly recommend for pastors to consider supporting this young preacher and his family. He is a man of character, hardworking, and a soul winner. Johnathan has always finished what he has started, and I believe will do a great job for the Lord in Sunnyslope.
This is a very needy area of the Valley that really has no Independent Baptist Gospel witness. We are excited that his sending church will be First Baptist Bible church, Pastor Scott Naill, and that Cornerstone will be a financial supporting church to help him and his family plant this new work in 2019. Please pray for him and if God’s puts it on your heart, he could certainly use monthly support as well.
