Anthony Gentile is a grateful husband and father who has dedicated his life to bringing God’s love and mercy to a world that is thirsting for it. After a powerful conversion experience seven years ago, he has answered a call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and ignite the fire of faith and courage in the hearts of all who will listen.
At the age of 13, fed up with the constraints of religion, Anthony turned to his peers and idols for a definition of truth that would suit his growing need for indulgence. His adolescent years were filled with anger, rage and hatred toward the true dignity of manhood. Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll was his idea of what life should consist of. This lead him down the wide path of spiritual destruction. All of the things he thought would bring him happiness and fulfillment betrayed him and left him utterly devoid of life, liberty and happiness. Forced to confront the reality of his own selfishness, he collapsed under the weight of his own iniquity. Seeking to take his own life time and time again, he found himself in desperate need of a savior.
Searching for a God he did not know, inspired by a grace he did not understand, he responded to a call he could not mistake. God in His Infinite Mercy called out to Anthony and sought to bring him home to Himself. Returning to the Sacrament of Confession after 10 years of grave sin brought life to this barren soul and set him on a new path, a demanding path which would require of him to die to self. Although it may seem that Anthony had lost much, in reality he found what he had been searching for… love, freedom and true manhood.
Anthony lives in Seaford with his wife Crystal and their five children.
