Bishop Tony came to the Lighthouse in 1994, directly from county jail, having been trapped by a life of crime and addiction. He entered the Faith Home Ministry, which is the Lighthouse’s 18-month residential program for men and women addicted to drugs and alcohol. Bishop Tony graduated and served in many areas of the ministry until God opened the door for him to fulfill the purpose on the inside of him. Today, he is the President of Lighthouse Gospel Mission and the Senior Pastor of the church, the Lighthouse Freedom Center. He resides in Riverview, Florida, with his wife and co-pastor, Bishop Jeannette Samuels, and their two children, Ashlee and Christian.view less
