Anthony & Emily Huerta

Anthony and Emily Huerta are missionaries serving through Youth with a Mission (YWAM) in Tyler, Texas. Together they feel called to mobilize individuals into their God given destiny-to know God and to make Him known. Emily is a second-generation missionary and at age 15 pioneered the ministry of KEEPS Boutique in 2008. KEEPS serves teen girls in foster care by providing free, brand-new clothing through personalized shopping appointments, girls night-out events, KEEPS Summer Kamps and other local outreaches across East Texas. God designed KEEPS ministries to draw His daughters out of brokenness and into relationship with Him.

Anthony came to know the Lord personally on June 16, 2015, one month into a 12-month Christian rehabilitation center. After experiencing the Father’s unconditional love for the first time, he realized his life needed to change to reflect this reality. Once graduating from that program, Shiloh Men’s Ministries, Anthony joined YWAM Tyler where he now leads the Mobilization Team. The goal of the Mobilization Team is to mobilize people into a missional lifestyle through evangelism, worship, and training. Anthony and Emily also work with YWAM’s discipleship schools, training people of all ages and countries. The aim of these schools coincides with their life’s mission which is: discipling others to know God and to make Him known across the globe. On February 11, 2022, they welcomed their beautiful daughter Charlotte.
