Paul Tonetti - My Profile
| My Profile: |
|
 My name is
Paul Tonetti and I grew up in Gulf
Breeze, Florida, a small town on a peninsula just three miles south of
Pensacola. I am a member of
Gulf
Breeze United Methodist Church. I first attended this church
when I was in High School, but I did not become active in the church until 1995.
In the summer of 1995 I was hired buy the church full time and two years later
they commissioned me as a missionary. I served nine years with
Mercy Ships
and spent time on three different ships and two
different land bases. In 1997 I completed a
Discipleship Training
School on board the
Caribbean Mercy and then continued to
serve as the IT Systems Manager until the spring of 2001 when I moved to Garden
Valley, Texas. There I worked for the Marine Operations division of Mercy Ships
where
I would then spend summers on the Anastasis and winter on the
Caribbean Mercy. My main focus was on projects to upgrade the systems and
the safety of the ships. In between my time on the ships I was Studying
for and received my AB ( Able Seaman ) and (SSO) Security Officer certificates which I now hold.
Then in December of 2004 I was asked to return to the Caribbean Mercy as the
Ship Security Officer. Then in June 2005 with the Caribbean Mercy going out of
service I was asked to go to the Africa Mercy to help install security
systems and then to become the Ship Security Officer. In 2006 I
returned home for an 8 month sabbatical before returning to Guatemala in
2007 to start my new mission. In February 2007 we gave birth to Shofar
Ministries where we have a missionary house to receive teams to work in the
local community and we have a
Christian Radio Station
and in 2010 we started an Internet Cafe with a focus
on helping the teenagers and young adults use and understand computers and
internet. |

| More about Mercy Ships & my current
ministry works: |
|
The Ships are crewed by
volunteers from all over the world. Not only did I volunteer
my time to this charity, but I also paid my own way each month for my living expenses.
This allows all of the money given to Mercy Ships to go directly to those most
in need. My support
is not always in the form of money, one of the most important forms of
support is your prayers. If you are interested in supporting my ministry or hearing
more about what I am doing,

Tonetti I do not receive a salary or am I
paid for my mission work, If you want to support please click the link above and
give.

About Me: |
I have a desire to continue in my missions
work of bringing hope and healing to those in need, and know that where ever I
end up I will be involved in ministry some how. One of my favorite
countries and one in which I have some very good missionary friends is Guatemala. It
is my desire to be there working with the teenagers, young adults, homeless,
kids in the streets, and Christian radio.
