Prominent Alaska politi-pastor gets big sendoff:
Dr. Jerry Prevo retires as pastor of Anchorage Baptist Temple
"He came to Alaska from Tennessee in 1971 and began growing his small church into what is now a 350,000 square foot property....Today, the Anchorage Baptist Church hosts a congregation of around 2,000 people and operates a christian school"
"During his final farewell, Prevo was addressed by other religious leaders, most notably Franklin Graham, as well as representatives from our state and Federal government, including Gov. Mike Dunleavy and former Gov. Sarah Palin."
"According to figures provided by Franklin Graham at Sunday's service, Prevo's business savvy has allowed him to leave his congregation a church network that's worth an estimated $85 million, with another $21 million in savings. During an informal vote led by Graham, church members elected to keep Prevo and his wife, Carol, on the church's payroll and insurance for the rest of their lives."
U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski on Jerry Prevo's importance:
