Featured Guest: Tony Villafane, student ministry pastor and NNYM area coordinator
Tony is passionate about equipping and empowering teenagers into their God-given influence and calling. He fervently believes that God wants to use teenagers to expedite the Gospel into culture. As the Area Coordinator for Lancaster, PA, with NNYM, Student Ministry Pastor at Gateway Church, and a Regional Director for Engage Ministry, he's committed to shepherding students and sharpening youth ministry workers. With a Master of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Ministry, Tony emphasizes that his most valuable lessons come from doing life alongside students and leaders. He has been married to his wife, Mary Beth, for seven years, and they have one son. In his free time, he enjoys playing guitar, Spikeball, ultimate frisbee, and visiting coffee shops. Tony also loves Marvel, board games, and engaging in nerdy conversations about personality tests like DiSC and the Enneagram. His life purpose is “to disciple and encourage others through shepherding and sharpening from excellent brokenness”.
