Meet The Founder

Hi, I’m Antonia Andrea, and I’m passionate about bringing healing and restoration to families—starting with the individual.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, my childhood was shaped by constant change. With divorced parents, a hardworking mother raising five children, and a father who was in and out of my life, I grew up longing for stability. Moving frequently meant I never stayed in one place long, which taught me to keep people at a distance to avoid the heartbreak of losing meaningful connections.

The absence of a consistent father figure left a profound mark on my life, shaping how I viewed myself and others. I searched for love, validation, and identity in relationships that often left me feeling empty. At the same time, my mother, though hardworking and dedicated to providing for her children, often had to prioritize work over emotional connection. Her sacrifices were immense, but her constant absence left me longing for the nurturing and guidance every child craves that I didn’t know how to fill. This lack of emotional connection from both parents ultimately led me to retreat inwardly. I confined myself emotionally, avoiding connections to protect against the pain of instability and loss. This self-confinement, combined with the lack of a healthy outlet for my emotions, left me feeling unseen and unheard. I struggled to process my feelings, trust others, and express myself in meaningful ways, leading to isolation, low self-esteem, strained relationships and a deep emptiness that only God could fill.

I didn’t grow up in church, but I had an idea of God, and the Bible was a respected source I never explored. After years of seeking identity and fulfillment in the wrong places, I encountered the Lord—and everything changed. Finding Jesus marked the beginning of my healing, helping me understand my identity and embark on the journey toward restoration.

Through this process, I’ve come to see how God’s desires became my own. He placed within me a passion to be the salt of the earth, to preserve and restore what has been broken, and to bring unity where there has been division. Scriptures like John 17:21 resonate deeply with this calling: “That they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” I also hold onto Colossians 3:14, which says, “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” And Psalm 133:1 declares, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” These verses reflect the very nature of God—a God of harmony, unity, and reconciliation.

I believe God has called me to encourage men, women, and children to understand that Jesus is calling them to Himself above all else. It is through Him that healing, identity, and purpose are found. I am convinced that when individuals are made whole, they create healthier homes, which in turn build stronger communities and, ultimately, a better world. Together, we can bring Heaven to Earth, one step at a time.
