Anthony & Emily Huerta

Anthony and Emily Huerta are Global Partners serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Mazatlán, Mexico. Together, they carry a shared calling to mobilize individuals into their God-given destiny—to know God deeply and to make Him known boldly.

Emily Huerta is a second-generation missionary whose life has long been marked by obedience and compassion. At just 15 years old, she pioneered KEEPS Ministries in 2008, a work that faithfully served teenage girls in foster care for 17 years across East Texas. Through mentoring, discipleship, and intentional community, KEEPS helped draw God’s daughters out of brokenness and into healing relationship with Him. Alongside this ministry, Emily has led multiple YWAM training schools and has played a vital role in strengthening operations across YWAM campuses, equipping others to thrive in mission.

Anthony Huerta encountered Jesus personally on June 16, 2015, while in a year-long Christian rehabilitation program founded by YWAM missionaries. It was there that he experienced the Father’s unconditional love for the first time—an encounter that radically transformed the trajectory of his life. Compelled to live in alignment with this new reality, Anthony joined YWAM in 2016. Since then, he has led mobilization teams around the world, helping people put feet to what God is speaking. His heart burns to see individuals mobilized into missions through evangelism, worship, and training.

Anthony and Emily met in 2017 and were married in 2020. In December 2025, they and their two children joyfully joined YWAM Mazatlán, Mexico, stepping into the next chapter of their calling. As a family, they are committed to discipling others and partnering with God in His global mission—to see lives transformed as people everywhere come to know Him and make Him known.
