Apostles:
Victor and Nocky Alvarizares
Apostles Víctor and Nocky Alvarizares are founders of Father’s House International previously known as “El Shaddai” in the city of Beaverton, West Portland.
The apostles received the calling to the pastoral ministry specifically in the Northwest in 1999, after working for more than 10 years under the apostolic covering of Joel Escobar (Founder of El Shaddai Mission). They were called to work under the apostolic ministry of Sergio Alvarizares in the city of Portland (founder of Father’s House Ministry).
Apostles Alvarizares were both born in Guatemala, where they were moved at an early age to the USA. They finished middle and high school in California. They were members in a large church where they met in 1988 and got married in 1989. They are blessed with 2 beautiful and dynamic children, Caroline and Justin who together serve the Lord as a family. They also have 4 beautiful grandchildren and counting.
The pastoral family starts their journey in the Northwest in 1999 in the city of Beaverton, Oregon with a small group of 10 people meeting in an apt. home. In November of 1999 God confirms their calling to establish a congregation and be able to reach the entire city. After a few years of working at the local church and beginning to travel the nations, in 2007 they are ordained as Apostles and God establishes them in the city of Portland, Oregon and from there the entire region.
As apostles, they have given birth to many spiritual children which have been raised to serve the Lord in church plants, in the state, nations and other countries.
Ministering and empowering people is what they love doing and especially watch brave men and women rise and walk in their eternal purpose in the Kingdom of God here on earth.
After working in the Northwest since 1999, we believe that God has given us the state of Oregon and the nations to take and leave a legacy from generation to generation.
We believe Jesus is the Lord of our state and nations!
