By: Alexis Anaya, Anglicans For Life, Multimedia Specialist

Hello, my name is Alexis Anaya, and I am the new Multi-Media Specialist at Anglicans For Life. A little about my story: I was born and raised in Mexico in a family of four—my father, mother, sister, and me. As the youngest, I was brought into the Christian faith from an early age and grew up with a Christ-centered formation, where following and imitating Christ was central to my life. 

In Mexico, I lived in several cities and encountered different branches and denominations of Christianity. This experience showed me the great diversity within Christian communities. Yet amid that diversity, one truth remained central to the Gospel: the Life that Christ gives us is a gift. I later attended university in Puebla, Mexico, graduating with a degree in Digital Animation. I worked in marketing, multimedia, television, cinema, and software. These experiences taught me that communication today happens largely through the internet and social media—powerful tools for reaching communities and showing that Christ’s mission is alive in His Church. 

After several years in the entertainment and animation industry, God called me to seminary in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. There I met wonderful friends who became like family. I also met my girlfriend Xenia, a beautiful and strong woman with whom I share ministry and grow in Christ’s love. Together we helped plant a Spanish-speaking church, through which God blessed us with a faithful community. 

As I neared the end of my theological studies, I searched for a ministry where I could serve God and proclaim the gift of Life. After several uncertain months, I received an email through the seminary about the Multi-Media Specialist position at Anglicans For Life. I applied with little hope, but soon met with Georgette, Daisy and Board Member Scott Gough. After talking and praying together, Anglicans for Life graciously offered me the role. It is deeply meaningful to serve here. Anglicans For Life is committed to defending life at every stage, supported by a faithful, creative, and dedicated team that equips churches to bear witness to the dignity of every human person. As a young Christian, I see this value being powerfully recovered by my generation and those to come. 

One verse that shapes my view of life is John 10:10: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” This reminds us that life is God’s gift, fulfilled and restored in Christ. Through the cross, He forms communities where this gift is received, shared, and protected. My hope at Anglicans For Life is to share resources through social media, reach new generations, and invite them to view life through the lens of Scripture and a Christ-centered vision.
