The nineties were a special time for the church as Rev. Dr. John Porter opened up the church to many international churches as well as many international members in the congregation. Whether from Mexico, Korea, the Philippines, Lebanon, Thailand, or the Samoan Islands, all were welcome to join the service. During this time, Dr. Porter opened the doors of the church to support churches and mentoring pastors such as Pastor Tito Sanchez of the Alliance Christian Fellowship, Pastor Adriel Yanez of the Immanuel Church, Pastor Isaac Aguilar of the Centro Vida Church, Rev. Dr. Sirichai Chayasirisobhon of the Thai Church in California, Pastor Adolpho Cruz of Iglesia de Dior Pentecostal, Father Luke of the Orthodox Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, among many others that continue to make their homes at the First Southern Baptist Church of Anaheim to this day.
