Tony’s Background
Tony Cameneti, together with his wife Patsy, currently bases his ministry in Brisbane Australia where they reside with their two daughters, Liliana and Annalisa. Previously, they lived for nine years in Italy and four in Singapore where they served as directors of Bible schools.
Tony’s deep desire is to go with the message of Jesus’ powerful and comprehensive redeeming work, and it has taken him to minister in over 25 countries. Living and ministering in places of diverse religions, cultures, and church backgrounds has given him an acute awareness that it is only an authentic, unedited Christianity that can transform lives.
Tony feels called and compelled to help believers find their place in Christ and under God’s mighty hand so that they can have a fruitful life that glorifies God. His message that emphasizes healing and a practical and real walk with God is both simple and doable.
Tony was raised in Warren, Ohio. His mother, Josephine, was born in Italy and immigrated to the United States when she was 10-years-old. His father, Jim, was born in Springfield, Ohio, into a family of Italian immigrants.
Tony is one of seven brothers- Jim, Joe, David, Mike, John, and Patrick. Joe currently pastors Believer’s Christian Fellowship, and Mike is the pastor of Faith Family Church.
