In this second part of a two part interview, Tony continues to share his experience in working with people and gives new insight into being a missionary in our American Society. He breaks down what it actually takes to accomplish what so many of us are looking to do with community outreach and involving non-member parochial school families and others in ministry in general as a strategy for their growth. He shares his thinking about ministry and programs and what small changes will make a big difference in working with people and bringing them closer to Jesus. Since he was involved in community policing in a previous career in addition to being a missionary, he talks about how that influenced his engagement and empowering the priesthood of believers. He talks about how to bring new people into leadership and talks about the power of testimony. He embodies what taking a coach approach to leadership is really all about and that's why we wanted to talk to him and bring it to you.
