Meet the Huertas.

MEET OUR FAMILY

Anthony, Emily, Charlotte & Etta

We’re a family serving full-time with Youth With A Mission in Mazatlán, Mexico. We love Jesus and want our life and ministry to help others know Him.

Through discipleship, evangelism, outreach, and mobilization, we walk alongside people as they grow in faith and discover their part in God’s mission.

We first met in 2016 and began dating in 2017. Anthony grew up in Lubbock, Texas, and Emily grew up in a missionary family—but got to Texas as fast as she could! Our shared love for Jesus and people became the foundation of our life together.

Our journey, one step at a time.

A few milestones in the story God is writing through our family.

APRIL 2020

Our life together begins

We married and began building a life around following Jesus and serving others.

FEBRUARY 2022

We welcomed Charlotte in East Texas, growing into life and ministry as a family of three.

Etta was born in East Texas, making us a family of four.

Let me introduce my wife

Written by Anthony

Emily Huerta! She is passionate about helping young girls understand their value as daughters of Christ, learn their identity in Him, and coach ladies into their destiny through Biblical principals.

Emily is intentional with her relationships, which has broadened my outlook. Since dating, our relationship has chiseled away at past perspectives that had caked up around my heart.

She is principled, determined and never met an injustice she wasn’t willing to fight.

Her parents have been in YWAM for 42 years, so she was born a “Wee-WAM’er”. Growing up mission-minded gave her permission to tackle one of society’s darkest injustices, foster care.

At age 15 she began a ministry focused towards teenage girls in foster care called KEEPS. I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Let me introduce my husband

Written by Emily

It is my greatest JOY to introduce you to the one and only Anthony Huerta! Anthony also serves full-time with YWAM and leads a team called Mobilization. They devote all of their time investing relationally to mobilize individuals into the next thing God has for them!

Anthony is from my favorite state…TEXAS, born and raised in Lubbock. He claims to be an introvert but is the friendliest, loudest, most outgoing, never met a stranger introvert I’ve ever known.

Our story is one of those “love at first sight” kinda stories. From the moment I saw him, I was in.

I actually saw him for the first time during the relationships week of his Discipleship Training School with YWAM, ironically my mom was his teacher. Little did we know.

Anthony is a kindred spirit, he’s sold out to Jesus, he doesn’t shy away from the radical and he’s always seeking to learn and apply his learnings into growth.

The way he loves people reflects Jesus’ compassion and I couldn’t be more giddy excited to minister alongside him as we expand our ministry as a family!

Be part of the journey.

We’d love for you to pray with us, stay connected, and be part of what God is doing through our family.
