Ionatana “Tana” Neufeldt was ordained into the gospel ministry in an outdoor drive-in ceremony Sept. 19, 2020. Alaska Conference leadership conducted the ceremony with John Freedman, North Pacific Union Conference president, giving the charge.
Neufeldt first heard about the Adventist message when his sister invited him to an evangelistic meeting. Impressed that the message was supported by the Bible, he later accepted Jesus and was baptized.
