The Arwakon family landed on January 30, 2020, at the Will Rogers Airport from the Marshall Islands. The Arwakon family will be living in Enid, OK as U.S. Permanent Residents. Pastor Arwakon will be leading the Pacific Islanders Ministry at Emmanuel Enid church. Attorney Tyler Christians helped facilitate their process of gaining permanent residency, with his immigration expertise, as Pastor Arwakon received an approval for Special Immigrant Religious Worker. We’re all excited for Pastor Burleson, Pastor Arwakon, and Emmanuel Enid as their church family grows!
