Ziegler Announces Church Financing Transaction: Bella Vista Assembly of God

BELLA VISTA, AR, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
It is an exciting time for Bella Vista Assembly of God parishioners. The
local church is constructing a new youth and children's facility to
complement their existing space. The facility will feature a junior high
size gymnasium, a small theatre-style auditorium, a full functional
kitchen and some classrooms.

The church financing is being executed with bonds through Ziegler, a
boutique investment firm providing investment banking, asset management
and wealth management, as well as alternative investment opportunities
for institutional and individual investors.

Jonathan Watson, the senior pastor of the church, stated, "When I came
here seven years ago there was only one child in our nursery. Now we can
have twenty kids on any given Sunday. Our children's church attendance
has more than quadrupled, our youth group averages 30 or more and new
young families continue to join us. Our community is changing and we are
building this facility to enable us to minister to more souls."
