Tonya is the Director of Pregnancy Care Center Engagement for Life Matters Worldwide in Grand Rapids, MI. Tonya Delnay has been in the pregnancy care center ministry since 2001. Her passion for sharing the truth that every human life matters from the “womb to the tomb” started back when she was in high school as a volunteer at the assisted living facility. Her dedication to God and His teaching about the value of life, both physical and spiritual, is evident in her teaching and encouragement.
Before joining Life Matters, Tonya was a Sexual Risk Avoidance Specialist for 19 years with PRC Grand Rapids and the W2W Healthy You, a curriculum in both public and private schools in Michigan. Tonya also encouraged churches and clients in the support services program, Cradles of Grace. During those years, Tonya had the opportunity to train others internationally as a volunteer for Life Matters and Life International. Before her time at PRC GR, Tonya was the Director of a pregnancy care center in Wayland, MI. Tonya knows that if God could use her, He can use anybody willing to move for Him.
Tonya was a teen bride, married in 1984 to Paul. They have four children, who multiplied to eight and now fourteen grandchildren, with two in heaven because of miscarriages. She loves planning camping trips and grandpa and grandma camps for the family. If you want to know what brought her into the pregnancy care center ministry over twenty years ago, she will share her story about a landscape for the Garden of Hope.
